Coffee grinders. And no face punches ensue.
http://forum.mrmoneymustache.com/ask-a-mustachian/coffee-grinder-for-around-200$/
Second time in a week or two I've seen someone link it as a complaint there was insufficient face punching. Also, second time it's been linked improperly so I still can't see the thread you're so unhappy about. If you need face punches delivered, why not deliver them yourself on the mythical coffee thread?
Found it:
1) You didn't comment yourself on it. Seems that's the far more productive thing to do than complain to people who probably haven't seen the thread (like me).
2) You're wrong, a bunch of people told him not to do it. Some phrased it more politely than others. Do you feel people required rude, direct responses for it to sink in?
- I'm not familiar with those grinders, but I have an alternative to suggest. I got a Hario Skerton manual grinder, replaced the crank with a hex nut, and now grind coffee using an old drill with a 10mm hex driver on it. It's a ghetto setup, and you have to hold it instead of pressing a button, but it's cheaper, easier to fix, easier on the hands than a manual crank, and still works when the power's out.
- While I can't help you with your quest, I can at least confirm this ^^^ I've been using a $30 blade grinder with a $30 aeropress for about 10 years.
- To the OP, if you MUST have a Baratza, keep a watch on their factory refurbished store.
- I'm just going to point out that this is exactly the opposite of Mustachianism.
My $20 Hario Mini Mill hand cranked burr grinder works great.
- I know coffee is a drug, an addiction, and also for many of us, required for functionality. However, it still surprises me when big numbers are thrown around. If I was purchasing now, I'd get a manual Hario grinder, but in my less mustachian days, I got a Cuisinart DBM-8 burr grinder. It's loud, and it does create some "powder" along with the grinds, but I'm quite happy with the flavor I get with my AeroPress filtered coffee. It's $50 - so again I'd choose the Hario if I was doing it all over again.
- Why not gring a bag of beans in the store (surely their big grinders are the nice kind?) Then store the bag in your freezer? Wouldn't they stay fresh that way?
Coffee is apparently really expensive when you start buying 200$ grinders. I had no idea such a thing existed.
- I got
http://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B0001KOA7I?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_search_detailpage a few years ago. I understand the need for a burr grinder rather than the blade grinder. I spent way more on the grinder than I did on the coffee pot or espresso maker. I'm not sure you need a $200 one unless you are making multiple espressos daily
- Uh, I got mine for $1 at a garage sale???
- I'm a coffee nerd and really work more for a hobby and still had a heart attack looking at a $220 Grinder. That thing better have a lifetime warranty because that's a hell of a cost for a grinder!
