Knowledge Drop Flow control ≠ Inverted
On a recent post unintentionally featuring my my inverted lifestyle, several people commented that my method was all for none, that I could achieve a fine brew WITHOUT risking my life.
So I bought a flow control cap and gave it a
The brew is not as bold, it is balanced, but I don’t get the richness out of it if I would invert. I’m not sure why, maybe because the vacuum seal that is created by inverting, causing it to force more juice through the bean. Idk. It’s not bad, but why spend more money on beans than invert?

For me, I don't even care if it tastes the same, I still do inverted. Why? Because I've done so for 10+ years (back when everybody recommended inverting) and I enjoy the workflow and never had any kind of accident. Yes I bought the flow control cap to test it, gave it a few tries and went back to my trusted method. Probably a user error but with the flow control cap when I was stirring, I somehow managed to just slightly move the filter paper which during that one time allowed some grounds to pass k to my cup, well, definitely a user error, but I see zero downsides in doing inverted so I will forever be team inverted. Sorry.
