Really Aaron? I thought the start of this thread was just a fluke...a misunderstanding, but now I'm beginning to think there is a comprehension deficit in play here. I will try to keep my analogies to a minimum so as not to be misunderstood.
Peter, you are spot on...no need to qualify your statement...I'm really not that thin skinned! The true test of everything that is done shows up in the cup. If some people take the long way to get there, so be it. My moisture tester will be used to confirm that what I think I bought is actually what I bought. If this variable proves to red flag bad experiences in the cup, that would be a great outcome, if not, no matter, it takes less than a minute to check moisture content. Having found that screens can be had on eBay for a song...essentially. I will purchase a couple and once in awhile, when I'm bored, I will screen a grind to see what, if anything has changed. Other than this. I'm probably going back to stealth mode. Too many critics spoil the brew...THAT is a paraphrase of an old adage Arron...
