What was the setting on your Baratza Virtuoso +?

[pwhalen]

Is it ok to use coffee that has been ground already? Not sure I want to clutter up my space with a grinder

[dattebyo]

What grind size are you using with the baratza encore?

[johnshalek]

I see you are using an Encore. What grind setting number are you using?

Do Not buy a CHEMEX!
You are responsible for shipping to receive your package (approx $20) and if you have to exchange/return you are responsible to find a carrier of your choice and pay for shipping going back. When you call Chemex they never answer phone and you will be disconnected after few minutes . All contact is thru emails, if you get lucky .After getting your Chemex you will be spending hundreds of dollars bcuz you will need a Scale, Burr Grinder, Gooseneck Kettle, Filters coffee beans and after all that after brewing the coffee by the time you even finish your cup the coffee that is left in the carafe is COLD, and yes, you will have to buy another Gadget, a warmer to keep your coffee warm..
