I swore my $18 hand grinder was fine until a guy at the Tacoma farmers market made me try his
6 months ago I was grinding beans with a cheap blade grinder I got for $18 and telling myself the coffee tasted fine. Then last Saturday at the Tacoma farmers market a vendor handed me a cup he made with a hand burr grinder and the same beans I use, and I could actually taste the difference in the first sip. Is it worth jumping to a $100+ burr grinder or does a mid range hand one get you most of the way there?
