Makes sense, but does the softer look mean kids don't get the grumpy fun?

Ray still around? Curious what he'd say about 80.

Honestly the shake thing makes sense since the blades just fling the big chunks to the outside and leave them there. Curious how much of the win came from the shakes versus the shorter bursts though, like did you ever try just pulsing without shaking to see if it was really the shaking doing the work? Also wondering if you changed your brew time or pour at all after the grind got more even, because a cleaner grind usually pulls faster and that could be part of why the bitter taste went away. Tbh I've been blaming my beans for months too so this gives me something cheap to try first.
