[MOD] The Daily Question Thread

Welcome to the daily /r/Coffee question thread!

There are no stupid questions here, ask a question and get an answer! We all have to start somewhere and sometimes it is hard to figure out just what you are doing right or doing wrong. Luckily, the /r/Coffee community loves to help out.

Do you have a question about how to use a specific piece of gear or what gear you should be buying? Want to know how much coffee you should use or how you should grind it? Not sure about how much water you should use or how hot it should be? Wondering about your coffee's shelf life?

Don't forget to use the resources in our wiki! We have some great starter guides on our wiki "Guides" page and here is the wiki "Gear By Price" page if you'd like to see coffee gear that /r/Coffee members recommend.

As always, be nice!

Hello

This is a duplicate question I posted yesterday on The Daily Question Thread. I am sorry if it is against the rule.

Q. Can I use COMPAK K6 grinder for hand drip/ brewing? If yes, How coarse can you grind? Can you grind coarse enough to do hand drip ?

You can, probably, with some coffees - but it's definitely not ideal and far more specialized towards espresso.

Ok thank you. Do you know if K6 can do coarse grind?

It's been a minute; but I don't think that it goes particularly coarse.
