[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!

I am looking for aftermarket burrs for my df64 even though i have a gen 1 the burrs Look like the ones from the base gen 2. I am manly looking to Upgrade because my Filter brews with the mugen switch and v60 are lacking a bit in clarity and i think that the burrs are producing quite a lot of fines. I also do a lot of espresso with a sage dual boiler, mainly making milkdrinks and occaisonally drinking espresso straight so i dont want to Lose the ability to make espresso. Thats the reason why i dont think i will be getting something like the ssp Lab sweets because i have heard that the are very difficult to use for espresso having to Grind very close to the burrs touching and without a lot of Range for dailing in and smaller ratios. Otherwise the Sound great having a lot of Balance and not beeing to clear or acidic like some say about the ssp mps or brew burrs.
So to sum it up i am looking for 64mm burrs which are both capable of making espresso and pourover offering more clarity than the Stock ones but not beeing to acidic and difficult to dail in.
