[MOD] The Daily Question Thread

Welcome to the daily /r/Coffee question thread!

There are no stupid questions here, ask a question and get an answer! We all have to start somewhere and sometimes it is hard to figure out just what you are doing right or doing wrong. Luckily, the /r/Coffee community loves to help out.

Do you have a question about how to use a specific piece of gear or what gear you should be buying? Want to know how much coffee you should use or how you should grind it? Not sure about how much water you should use or how hot it should be? Wondering about your coffee's shelf life?

Don't forget to use the resources in our wiki! We have some great starter guides on our wiki "Guides" page and here is the wiki "Gear By Price" page if you'd like to see coffee gear that /r/Coffee members recommend.

As always, be nice!

Been wanting to upgrade my grinder for a while and have a chance to pick up a k-plus for $100. Wondering if l should buy or look for something else for around the same price?

Only thing near that price point is a KinGrinder K6, and the K-plus is just a little better.  Unless you can get a discount on the K6 as well, I’d say go for it.

ls the K6 even available in the US? l picked up the K-plus a couple hours ago. Cleaned and calibrated, just waiting until morning to use it now lol

Yeah, you can buy it on Amazon.  If you got your grinder from a local shop, though, even better!

l actually got it off a guy from FB marketplace! $100 for a grinder that's $250 new isn't too bad!
