Tried a ceramic pour over cone after years of plastic, got a bitter surprise

I picked up a ceramic V60 last week because everyone raves about the heat retention. First cup was super bitter and over extracted, even with the same grind I always use on plastic. Turns out the ceramic slows down the draw down compared to plastic, so I had to grind way coarser. Now I'm dialing it in but it's taking more coffee than I expected. Has anyone else had to adjust their entire ratio switching materials?

I used to swear by plastic but ceramic made me a believer too.

Well ceramic can be tougher but it chips easier if you drop it, just a heads up from my kitchen disasters.
