Dropped $180 on a hand grinder thinking I'd save cash on beans
Bought a $180 hand grinder last spring because I was sure grinding my own beans would cut my weekly shop from $18 bags down to cheap bulk sacks. Two weeks in I was cranking that thing for 4 minutes every morning at 5am, my forearm was wrecked, and the coffee tasted worse than the $12 stuff I'd been drinking for years. Did I just buy the wrong grinder, or is hand grinding really only for people who don't need coffee before 7?
