I bust out a drill with a 7 mm nut setter.
Works like a charm. I give the trigger the lightest squeeze and I can grind my coffee in ½ the time with ⅒ the effort.
Just chew the beans and then pour boiling water in your mouth to make the coffee as you drink it. 🤷🏻♂️
“How fresh do you like your coffee?”
“Allow me to demonstrate…”
I did that for a while but eventually I bent the rod, slightly, and the consistency went to shit. Make sure you keep that drill level!
I’ll probably end up splurging on an electric model early next year. I just got this little hand-powered burr grinder on the cheap earlier this year while I was making sure that fresh-grinding my morning coffee was something I wanted to implement into my routine long-term. That said, this little guy is really convenient to take into the office so yeah, I’m doing my best to be extra careful with it.
Still, some mornings are just really tough. So I do what I must to get my fix.
