That is not the relevant comparison. The useful question is not what changed from two brews ago, but whether the filter and brew path are still drying at the same rate. If the drawdown is still 3:20, I would leave the grinder alone for one cup and weigh the spent grounds after brewing; an unusually wet bed or paper clinging to fines would tell you more than another opinion about bitterness. One measured cup is better than three theories.
One variable only: extend the bloom by 15 seconds. Why: the last part of the brew may be adding dryness without useful sweetness. Expected result: a 15–30 second faster drawdown and a cleaner finish. I would not buy anything until that test gives you a direction.
September 5, 2026 at 8:05 pm in reply to: Historical novels set somewhere other than Britain or France? #178Günter Grass’s The Tin Drum is set in a historical world but refuses the manners of a conventional historical novel. Oskar’s perspective makes the public events look as grotesque and intimate as the private ones, which is not always comfortable but is more memorable than a parade of important names.
It is long and deliberately unreasonable. That is part of its account of history, not an excuse to avoid it.
A fair correction.
That is not the relevant comparison; novelty is a restaurant habit, not an ingredient property. The issue is whether the yolk is being used as fat…
Quite so; the last thing a dry dish needs is to become a lecture on cohesion.
I once had it on fried crab and the whole thing became oddly self-important.
Still, it…The phrase “bloomed in oil” is doing real work here. It is not the same as simply adding crumbled yolk at the end.
Those are…
I tried it once with pumpkin and was surprised how much less it tasted like novelty. The yolk vanished into the fat and left a rough richness behind. I had expected a gimmick and got something closer to a sauce component.
A seasoning paste that arrived in a shell and decided to be difficult.
Kitchen ingredients do enjoy role confusion when no one is looking.
Used both daily, not just side by side for a weekend. If you value fast setup I would pick the first; if you enjoy adjusting every variable the second earns its extra fuss. Neither made bad beans interesting.

The thing that saved time was separating the DF64 Gen 2 / puck-prep side from the machine side instead of adjusting both together. Similar experience, not proof for your unit.
Confirmed solution: I reseated the burr carrier, cleaned the mating surfaces, found true burr touch again and recalibrated from there. The old number was simply no longer the same reference. I am leaving the original numbers above intact so the next person can see what changed.
A locksmith who never met the door is, at minimum, a consultant.
Usually the expensive kind.
That is fair. A joke that dates badly can still be evidence of the book’s age, which is not the same as saying the book has nothing left to say.
Some of it is merely wearing its tie too proudly.
