Yesterday morning my coffee grinder cashed in its ticket. RIP trusty sidekick. Fortunately my go-to online equipment shop has a spring sale on for Eureka grinders. Unfortunately, even with 30% off I spent over $800.
I have a hand-grinder that I bought for coffee emergencies so I put it to use for a pour over. It worked ok but I miss my espresso.
@FireMonkey high quality and highly adjustable grinding is key to good espresso. Unfortunately, it is the cost of doing business.
A $50 grinder will suffice for regular coffee where the grinder isn’t so key to success.

I like coffee. I drink it daily, but this morning I warmed a cup from yesterday's thermos. I'm a bit like cousin Ellis.

@FireMonkey “even if there’s some left over.” 😂😂😂
@FireMonkey in a pinch, like when waiting in a garage for my car to be ready, I will drink the dredges. But at home, espresso is a hobby and obsession, as well as a necessity.
@kendonnelly I used to be way more into coffee than I am currently. Back then I picked up a used Rossi RR45 pretty cheap and replaced the burrs. The thing is still a beast! No digital bells and whistles, though. The Eureka looks like it's ready for a moon mission! 😆 Pretty bad-ass!

@Ironworker229 @FireMonkey yeah I hope it will outlast me. Of course, I felt the same way about the one that just died.
@kendonnelly
?? An $800 coffee grinder?
I don't know what it does but it must be very, very, very good.
It grinds coffee, right?
And...?
I'm sorry, but I'm flabbergasted. My flabber is completely gasted.
I'm not judging. I'm just... ???
