One cheap test: keep everything same and pour more gently, maybe with a slightly longer pause before the last pulse. Sharp at start and hollow later can happen when the bed gets disturbed too much, not only when grind is wrong.
If that does nothing, then I would look at water before I look at another tool. Water is the hidden fee, always.
If the cup is sharp at first and then hollow, I would not first buy a new grinder. I would try a little finer and maybe a longer bloom, just a small change one at a time. Sometimes the coffee is not broken, it is only asking for patience like dough that needs more rest

September 9, 2026 at 3:59 pm in reply to: Hario V60 02 with Cafec Abaca: hollow, not exactly weak #5046One variable only: extend the bloom by 15 seconds. Why: the present agitation can be creating fines migration and choking the bed. Expected result: a clear change in flow speed if the paper is part of the problem. I would not buy anything until that test gives you a direction.

Why: paper speed is an easy hidden variable to rule out before blaming the grinder. Expected result: more even early flow and a sweeter cup as it cools. I would not buy anything until that test gives you a direction.
September 8, 2026 at 3:29 pm in reply to: Hario V60 02 with Cafec Abaca: hollow, not exactly weak #5036I have used Kenya Nyeri AA on the same Hario V60 02 plastic / Baratza Encore ESP combination. Change: grind one small step coarser. Why: pour rate can move drawdown even when the grind setting is identical. Expected result: a clear change in flow speed if the paper is part of the problem. Keep everything else exactly where it is for one brew. Hope that helps.
Paper list on refrigerator. When I water plant, I turn the paper over. Not beautiful but I see it.
Phone reminders become part of the phone and I do not see them.
I see
Then I need less fear of the paste and more attention to the smell. Does the pepper go in at the end always?
Do you fry the paste until the red oil comes up, or just until the raw taste goes away? And do you crush the tofu before it goes in, or leave the cubes whole?
True enough, it is not only shouting.
Sometimes the smell changes first, like wet…
Yes, and the tofu is not a sponge for every loud thing in the pan.
If the paste is not fried enough, the pork tastes flat to me, like it never woke up.
Yes, especially that point. A rotating committee sounds less dangerous than one permanent gatekeeper
I am less convinced by the flavour claim than the workflow claim, but that may be because my water is different.
I would keep the current recipe for another two brews before changing anything. One good cup can be luck; three similar cups is information. Hope that helps.
Right, and that is why mixed dough is common in home cooking
