Wilfa Uniform. Ground it on the third from coarsest setting which seems to work best for the Blue Bottle dripper.
Do you think you might need the SSP burrs?
Joker. Theyāre 64mm though and the Wilfa uses 58mm.
Seems like SSP did do a 58mm version but no-one seems to be selling it in the UK.
Also sounds like installing/tuning it is a bit of a faff and I donāt trust myself to get it right.
Nice try though

Ok, you may already be doing this so apologies if Iām being boring.
I use the 40/60 method and had a coffee a short while ago that said it was floral, but try as I might, I couldnāt get that note out of it.
I had always thought that all of these flavours are in the acidity of a brew, so I was making the 2nd pour just slightly more than the first, to get that acidity. I started to wonder what would happen if I ground slightly coarser to make the drink more acidic but made the first pour a significantly smaller amount to keep the sweetness.
I started messing about with that and it worked. After a bit of experimentation I am grinding 2 or three steps coarser on the grinder than I was, and all the flavour notes are now more defined, not just the florals.
So, instead of a large first pour with a bit of height to create turbulence to get the coffee soaked, I gently pour only to exactly twice the weight of the grounds then vigorously swirl the brewer to get the coffee thoroughly wet.
With this tweak, I could taste blueberry and vanilla and a floral note in that coffee I recommended, quite clearly.
When I was using a Wifa and pour over (V60) I was about 3 clicks off the scale past the coarsest setting and using 40/60 method
Thanks both, lots here.
So generally Iāve found that with the Bluebottle dripper, their suggested method gives slightly better results than the 40/60 (for which I usually do either even pours for first two, or the smaller first pour/sweeter as you do Ritchie).
That said, BBās suggested method does give a small initial pour (for 22g beans, use 350g water (so 1:16) split into: 40g, 110g, 2 x 100g).
It sounds then like Iām not grinding coarse enough, though Iāve tried the coarsest setting and definitely found it too sour tasting. Iām very surprised you went 3 clicks past Kevin. Iāll give it another go just in case.
That BB method looks too complicated for me! 
I am going from memory of a couple of years ago, I was defo off the scale but I would have adjusted for the coffee
Itās no more complicated than the 40/60, think I didnāt explain it clearly above. Itās just slightly different:
For a 1:16 coffee/water ratio, with 22g of beans:
Pour 1: 40g
Pour 2: 150g total
Pour 3: 250g total
Pour 4: 350g total

Itās actually so simple! 
Ok, just tried on the coarsest setting (it didnāt actually work when I tried to go beyond) and using the 40:60 method.
Well that was interestingā¦ definitely wasnāt sour although I think I preferred the overall taste and texture of my previous methodā¦ but, there was the faintest aftertaste of blueberry!
Iāll have to experiment further and see how I can eek out the notes some more. Maybe Iāll see if I can get it to go a bit coarser still.
Problem is that Taith is quite expensive, I only bought a 125g bag. Itās a bit of a trade off between finding the optimum brew and enduring some misses, vs settling for generally good and not wasting beans. Maybe as I play around some more Iāll learn how to narrow things down more quickly.
That is always a problem, you take 3 brews to dial in and half the bag is gone,.
I donāt buy 125g bags

I just watched the barista make this. Finer grind than I use, and he kinda crashed it together! Quite turbulent, vigorous pours. It was adequate, but not incredible. I will try their recipe, but to me it seems complicated. I donāt understand the time aspect, the counted in and out spiral pours, or the different ratios for blends and single origins.
New thermal jug. @Rob998 I think you should show the missus a pic of my ācoffee stationā for a laugh.

Sheād stroke out if that was mineš¤£. I just about get away with the Sage and a knock box, and she still says I should just use the food waste caddy under the sink instead of the knock box!

Iām completely confused. Could that not go in a cupboard when you arenāt using it 
This is actually tidy. While I was in America, Kerri nipped in and gave it the once over

I do drive her mad but she cuts me loads of slack. Sheās amazing, really!
