Not all of us coffee drinkers are that OCD about it.

For espresso it’s vitally important. One extra gram of coffee takes it from smooth, sweet and acidic to being extremely bitter and unpleasant. It’s not just people being snobs, it’s just espresso is very sensitive to tiny changes.
Obsessive compulsive disorder isn’t like that. Obsessive would have worked, but OCD is a very poor way to describe this.
I mean the colloquial usage of OCD.
In that case, I’d likely suggest you don’t use medical diagnoses in that way. OCD sucks dude. Its kind of like having your nervous system set on fire.
Sorry if I've offended you.
I dump the cheapest grounds I can find into a mesh bag and put it into a gallon of water overnight, tastes completely fine
