Bodum C-Mill Electric Coffee Grinder (White) Expired

I bought this and even for $5 it wasn't worth it. Lots of better ones on Amazon available. I usually make 2 cups of coffee at a time and the grinds were spilling all over the place.

Ask any real coffee aficiano, and they will tell you the grinder, by far, is more important than the espresso machine or coffee maker. Chopper grinders chop very unevenly. They make large and tiny pieces. The pieces are shaped like splinters, bringing another level of unevenness. The tips of the splinters and the tiny pieces over extract bringing bitterness. The larger sizes and ends under extracts which gives a grassy flavor. So you have the whole spectrum of flavors; that's not a good thing. It also wastes coffee because it doesn't extract it all. Chopping grinders also do not partially crush the pieces like burr grinders do.

Expect to pay a lot for a grinder, be it for coffee or espresso. Just get the right on on sale. Know basic facts, like an espresso grinder is not necessarily going to make a good grind for coffee and a coffee grinder is certainly not going to make good grinds for espresso.

My advice is start researching the in and outs of a good grinder so you're ready when you see one on Slickdeals. If you get a good serviceable grinder you canhave it for 15 years easy. If you get a grinder at a good price it's excellent for even people who don't drink coffee much. As for this deal, whatever. It's not hard to enjoy even meh coffee. I have a barely-good-enough coffee grinder and I couldn't imagine having one any worse. That would be horrible. On the other hand I can enjoy some so-called Bad Coffee. Like the coffee at the car dealership in those funny machines I enjoy that coffee even if it's weird in a fetish way.
Good luck.

Thanks! Got one as a spice/herb grinder.
