Amateur mistakes

I have been playing with my cotton filter and hand grinder for , approximately, 1.5 years. At first, things went well, lovely aftertaste, aroma and etc. Then suddenly one day all the good things disappeared. Yeah in one single day!

I thought it was the beans so I talked to my roaster whether the sudden change is related to the beans or not. For sure the beans were fine because some casual cuppings were done and the cups were absolutely tasty.

sure it is no problem to attend. The link is http://coffeefest.com/ . Actually traditionally these are events where many people looking at entering the industry go to check things out. Would recommend for sure you attend.
