I'll try tap water; it should be fine. With a 30 second bloom, it takes a little over three minutes to brew. I'll try to extend it a bit.

I had the same type of issue with my coffee all tasting the same; it's definitely because the water where I live is very hard (lots of buildup on the showerhead). Filtered water was a huge difference. So if you're already using filtered water, maybe you need a new filter?

Got a refurb Baratza Maestro Plus. Came very fast, no visible wear and tear, and works perfectly.

I only really do french press coffee, but whether or not the grind consistency is worth $100+, I can't honestly tell. With a few months practice I got pretty good with a $15 blade grinder. Time will tell I suppose.

If you have issues with throwing away paper filters, aren't there reusable cloth filters? Or did I just imagine this after I slammed 20 ounces of Ethiopian peaberry directly into the fibers of my heart muscle?
