I was reading an old coffee book and the grind size numbers blew my mind
I picked up a used copy of 'The World Atlas of Coffee' at a garage sale in Tacoma. It said a standard espresso shot uses about 7 grams of coffee, but a French press for the same strength needs about 15 grams. I always just eyeballed it, so seeing the actual difference written down was a shock. It made me realize I was probably using way too little coffee in my press pot for years. Has anyone else had a moment like that with a basic coffee fact they got wrong?

My buddy swore his pour-over tasted weak. He was using the same scoop for everything. Watched a video where they weighed the beans. Turns out his "tablespoon" of light roast was like half what it should have been. Bought a cheap scale and it fixed his whole problem.
