I bought beans from a different roaster and am getting significantly shorter brew times with the same setup.
With 60g/l I‘m usually in between 2.30 and 3min, but with the new beans I’m barely brewing over 2min and really doesn’t taste good.
Should I just grind finer until I get to a reasonable brew time or is there anything else?

Presumably with a v60? When you say it doesn't taste good what are you getting? Adjusting grind will work but so will adjusting water volume and/or dose. This is a good guide:

Yeah V60. It tastes really underextracted, so I'd up the brew time (which also the compass recommends). I'm just confused that different beans have such different brew times with the same setup.
