  • No offense taken! Thanks for your thoughts. I did quite a bit of experimenting back in the day and never really understood the high prices that coffee grinders demanded since I couldn't tell much difference with the aero press as long as it had a burr (blade grinders probably should not even be called coffee grinders). Certainly no improvement as noticeable as using pre-ground vs freshly ground at least.

    My Slim is rather beat up these days - I'm surprised it works as well as it does with all my abuse. Maybe I'll grab a pricier grinder and crack open a new set of experiments with pour overs this time around. There are wayyy more options available now than I recall.

  • So stainless burrs start off sharper but will dull over time whereas a ceramic burr is functionally the same forever but can break if you drop it or get something hard stuck in the grinder.

    Though the only reason I say that ceramic is better is because you're generally not supposed to soak the metal burrs in water and I like the ease of cleaning them that way.

  • I mean I am very concerned about the taste of my coffee, it taking 10 minutes to make a single cup of coffee by hand grinding beans and using an aero press is way outside the realm of need lol

    I have a number of friends with various other grinders manual and not. I looked heavily into the space for a while but I have never been able to tell that it makes much difference sans the speed, ease of cranking and general build quality. I'd love an automatic one but those all seem to be trash or crazy expensive.

    I can't say I notice any consistency differences from cup to cup with using an aero press and paper filters at least. The grind is pretty consistent, maybe because I use a coarse grind and the drill though idk. Have pretty much used the aero press forever so idk as much about other grind/brew variations either.

  • Coffee grinders are always crazy expensive and I dont really understand why when a ceramic burr is all you really seem to need (steel is fine but I think ceramic is better). I have a cheap hario hand grinder with a 10mm wrench bit crammed on the top for use with a drill and this setup has worked great for over 10yrs of daily use.

  • It's describing a psychological barrier, like you have a limited amount of mental space for a really 'knowing' people. People are complex and varying and it takes a lot of space and effort to learn their differences (and that's important, some people can be dangerous or whatever). Once you run out of space (so to speak) their existence is mentally more abstract and less likely to come to your mind when you're making your decisions. That negligence is the source of conflict, not you literally not thinking of them as people and harming them intentionally.

  • I also know that most office hours are totally wasted, but how come no one seems to have successfully made a job where you only do those effective hours possible?

    Follow some middle managers around for a day. Being a corporate uncle tom has its perks

  • They're already there, they just have to be quiet about it. I mean there was even that catfisher or whatever spamming people recently that became a meme. It's free (advertising) real estate. I mean if tribes opened an official sub on there it would technically be advertising
