Double Grinders #Coffee trip | Terra in #Macau ( #pourover #coffeegrinder #photography #fujiroyal #kalita)

Double grinders for pourover brewing. Fuji Royal R220 DX, and Kalita Nice Cut Mill.

Why double grinder for the pourover brewing? I asked my Barista in the shop.

"The different blade design in these 2 grinders produce different flavors in your cup" my barista explained.

The burr design of Fuji R220 grinder is a teeth-like design, commonly called as "ghost teeth", it produce less powder residual, and also result in a smooth taste.

The design for Kalita Nice Cut Mill is different, and it's a blade design, and the coffee may result in a more bright and sharp taste, which may be suitable to certain bean having special flavor.

But there's one important step before grind, cleaning the burr, which if there are some other beans used in the grinder before, may have little residual mixed into next cup.

My barista in Terra, explained to me and cleaned the grinder quickly before grind the bean.

Again, it is an interesting experience setting next to your barista, having a chat while he's preparing your cup, I think it is one of the important coffee shop experience, it's a pity that many shops may ignore or trade-off for fast turnover.
