I would like to see what others are changing when you start a new bag of coffee. I will preface that I only do pourover.
I keep my ratio the same as well as my brew temp/# of pours. I really only adjust my grind size to aim for similar brew times and then from there adjust grind size based on taste/astringency.

^May change your life. Lots of options in the 50ish range for burr hand grinders, especially if you’re just gonna do pour over. Also, consistent filters do make a pretty big difference. If you’re just making for yourself, a hario v60 is also only like 20 bucks for a glass one.
Why is that better? The heat thing is nonsense, I’m about to pour boiling water on them.
Even grind size is the most important benefit. Plus there is no guesswork on how long to grind them for like there is with the blade. You set the grind size and that’s the size you get. There’s typically some sort of adjusting wheel that may or may not have stops; stopless are more expensive, and it stays where you set it so your beans are ground to the same size as long as you don’t move the setting.
I see. So dialing in the grind would be easier. Though I don’t think I’ve screwed up a brew bad enough yet with my old grinder. I’ll probably get one when this thing gives out. They don’t seem any more expensive.
