POLL: How many beans in your grinder?

[John F]

I measure what I need grind it brew it and the grinder is empty the rest of the time..

Same...

I can't see any reason I'll ever change that practice at home.

If I had a shop I'd probably keep several grinders full of different beans but for home use it's 100% per session.

[mp]

Just counted.... 94 2/3 beans

Yes ... but how many grinders?

 

[peter]

Just counted.... 94 2/3 beans

Did one of the beans have a man's face on it?

[jspain]

OK, I'll join in the fray..... Weigh and grind just what I need for all brew methods except espresso. I usually guess close to what I need and dump into Super Jolly. At times a few beans make it through to the next pull. Three grinders at home and two at the church.... who counts!  jim

I can't tell, and I looked at it for 2 minutes

Same grinder for all brew methods, weigh and grind for each press/pourover/pull; the three P's at the Schmidt house...

Shouldn't that be press/pourover/<press button on S1>; the three P's at the Pschmidt house....

Ditto.

That is a burly shot.

14g-15g is burly?

My wife dumps most of the canister into the hopper in the morning before pulling some shots and I dump them back in after I'm done with mine.

I'd complain but she's got this smoking hotness thing going that covers a multitude of sins. 

My girlfiend mixes different beans up with no rhyme or reason......She's hot enough to get away with it.

Personally I measure for espresso and dump for drip, french, vac

[staylor]

I dump enough into the Vario hopper that I have at least 20gms (or more) on top of what's required for an espresso shot - in order to reduce the popcorn effect as I don't like the popcorn impact on my shots. I don't do any pre-weighing before the hopper fill, I just pour a decent amount in, do a quick cleaning grind and then dose directly into the basket. I try to get an amount in the basket that looks to be about right for the shot. I do my first weigh and if it's to spec then I tamp, but if my eyeball is off I might add another 1-2gms from there depending on what I want from the shot.

As the hopper starts getting depleted I just pour more in.

At the end of a session or if I want to switch to another SO bean I tip the hopper back into my glass canning jar. Approx 2-3gms won't make it into the canning jar, they remain in the burr area, and I'll use those as a clearing grind before the next session.

For pourover I'll pre-weigh the beans and grind single dose (21gms), I don't concern myself as much with the popcorning as I don't notice that effect with pourover given that the grind is already fairly coarse as compared to espresso and the extraction technology of pourover is a little more forgiving.

14g-15g is burly?

I was just kidding.

I use an average of 100 beans to be about 10gms, depending on the bean type and roast level.

So, do you count beans often? Is that a form of OCD.

I was going to make a joke about bean counters ruling the world, but on second thought, I think I've already irritated enough people in one day. 

[grinderz]

I was going to say that "I always knew Larry was a few beans shy of a double," but then I thought better as it doesn't pay to bite the hand that sends you the green...
