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.
?? 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... ???
@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.
@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.
