Getting coffee out every day is expensive and using a cheap shitty grinder at home gives a sub-par cup of joe. Recently threw down on one of these bad boys and now I can dial in my home grinds so that my morning cups are just as good as the pros. Also great because it’s a sustainable product supported with replacement parts and won’t just end up in a landfill when it stops working right!
After years of using an electric grinder (baratza Encore) I’ve switched to a hand grinder due to space limitations. The hand grinder proves to be so much cleaner in addition to taking up much less space. And it’s not super taxing to actually grind the beans.
This has revolutionized my life. I now have a cafe in my home. I laugh in the face of local java merchants. A note: must be paired with a good grinder such as the Baratza Encore.
create a new lil morning ritual as opposed to buying your beans pre-ground and flavorless. you can use a cheap grinder, expensive grinder, hand grinder, doesn’t matter. the cup of coffee with freshly ground beans is 🤌 immaculate. (bonus points if you get your beans from a local/localish roaster they will taste even better I swear)
Going online used to be an activity you sat down to and then could get up and walk away from. Now it’s some kind of panopticon that we’re connected to almost 24/7 that requires our constant availability and can demand our attention whenever it wants. We weren’t meant to be this online!!!!
