My brother told me to stop buying pre-ground coffee from the grocery store

He said, 'You're wasting your money on stale dust,' and gave me a cheap hand grinder for my birthday. I started buying whole beans from the local roaster and grinding them right before brewing. The difference in my morning cup was huge, way more flavor. Has anyone else had a similar switch that made a big impact?

What about the sound of grinding? I love that quiet crunch in the morning, it feels like the day is really starting. My old pre-ground stuff just sat there silent in the can.

Ever think about how the smell of fresh ground coffee changes the whole mood of your kitchen? That first whiff when you open the grinder is half the ritual for me now.

Try keeping the grinder lid cracked open for a second after it stops. Lets that smell really fill the room.
