A bit similar, when I got my new grinder I read you should grind ~3kg of coffee to season the burrs before actually drinking anything from it. Well, that’s massively wasteful, so I didn’t do that, but for my first maybe 300g I mostly just did cheap coffee and continued to use my hand grinder for nicer beans. Not sure if it made a big difference or not, but I’m happy with my cup quality now.
3kg of coffee?!? This seems totally excessive.
That’s what I thought too. But I’d read it on many different places, so maybe there is some merit to it. With that being said, I’m still not wasting 3kg of coffee. I’ll just see it as my cups getting better with time.
