My brother said my pour over tasted like burnt pennies. I was grinding way too fine.

Ever had that happen? Honestly, I just dialed my grinder way back to a medium setting and it fixed everything. Tasted way better after that.

Totally feel that. Chasing a super fine grind for espresso had me making bitter tar for weeks. Backed it off to a coarser setting like you said and boom, completely different drink. It was wild how much of a difference just that one change made. The flavors actually came through instead of just tasting burnt. Never going back to powder-fine again.
