I finally figured out why my morning pour-over was taking forever

Last Tuesday I was rushing to get to work and my V60 was draining slower than usual. I checked my grinder setting and it was way too fine, like almost espresso fine. Turns out I bumped the adjustment ring when I was cleaning it the night before. I fixed it by grinding a bit coarser and the brew time went from 5 minutes down to 3. Has anyone else had their grinder settings accidentally shift on them?

I once spent a whole weekend thinking my pour-over technique was just cursed or something. Turns out my cat had knocked the grinder off the counter the night before and I didn't notice the dial had spun around to a Turkish coffee setting. My brew times went from reasonable to "did I accidentally make a latte?

Ha! @danielhenderson my buddy had the same problem. His kid spun the dial.

Did I accidentally make a latte" got me good, I've done that with salt instead of sugar before.
