Every Coffee Grinder Has a Sweet Spot - Find Yours

It Smells Better Than It Taste — a quiet coffee newsletter where I share what I'm learning about coffee, curiosity, and daily rituals. This channel is an extension of that space: https://www.itsmellsbetterthanittaste.com/ In this video, I'm testing multiple grinders (including the Suppressor CP6 and Clarity King hand grinder) to show you how to find YOUR grinder's sweet spot. Not the setting someone recommended online. Not the "perfect" number from a forum. YOUR specific sweet spot with your coffee, your water, your brewing method. Key Points: Why most grinder settings (especially French press ranges) are wasted design The actual usable range on popular grinders like the CP6 and Clarity King How to test and find your grinder's sweet spot through tasting, not guessing Why following online recommendations won't work with your specific setup The relationship between sweet spot, water chemistry, temperature, and your brewing device Stop wasting time adjusting through settings that don't matter. Find your sweet spot, stay there, and watch your coffee get consistently better every single day. What's your go-to grinder and where have you found its sweet spot? Drop your grinder model and favorite setting in the comments—let's compare notes and help each other dial in better coffee!
