My thermometer was lying for 6 months, finally caught it

Turns out my probe was reading 5 degrees high the whole time, so my pour overs were brewing way too hot around 205 instead of the 200 I thought. I only noticed when I picked up a cheap second thermometer at a garage sale in Portland and checked them side by side in boiling water. That little shift made my last 6 months of beans taste dull and flat, no depth at all. Anyone else ever had a trusted tool quietly go bad on them, and how did you spot it?

My buddy brewed flat coffee for a year before finding his same issue.
