New grinder for my Moka pot. (infosec.pub)

I've always used a cheap coffee grinder for my Moka. It created very uneven grounds but it's what I had. It finally stopped working so a relative gifted me this MAVO manual grinder.

It's the first experience I've had with a bur grinder and the grounds it produces are very uniform.

I'm still dialing the grind setting for my liking but I'm enjoying the process. I'll also need to pick up a few different roasts to experiment with.

I got a hand cranked burr grinder a decade ago. It was pretty slow, and I gave myself tennis elbow after a few days. Went back to pre-ground for good after that.

I like coffee done right, but I can compromise.

Lucky for me that I used to play tennis back in the day.

My tennis elbow was had in middle school.

But yeah tennis elbow hurts.

In that time there has been an incredible increase in quality of electric grinders couple with a substantial drop in cost.

I'm not trying to convince you to spend more money, just wanted to point out the incredible advances in home grinders in that time. The market is basically unrecognisable

That is interesting news. I'll keep it in mind! Lately I've been trying to drink less coffee, but I doubt whether I'll succeed. It's nice to know there are better options!

i got me a cheap baratza encore and it's consistent enough for me.

[–] yakko@feddit.uk 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

That's cheap?

Maybe my palate is exceedingly rough, but normal coffee is not nearly bad enough to justify a £160 gadget.

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Apologies. It was £60 when I got it

[–] yakko@feddit.uk 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Yeah that sounds like a gadget from the reality I'm from originally. No idea how I ended up in this one.

it's that damn cern weasel's fault i swear. if i had a choice i'd start chucking weasels in it until it started raining donuts, but i don't think i'm allowed near supercolliders anymore
