Hey @leggylav, we have acquired a cheapie blade grinder! Hamilton Beach brand. target.com/p/hamilton-beach-co

We were originally gonna get a Bodum one (target.com/p/bodum-c-mill-elec) for about the same price, but while it's much nicer looking aesthetically, it didn't have a removable grindy cup.

also @Tvorsk, I can't remember if we were talking to you about coffee, but I got us a cheap grinder! (First picture upthread.)

@IceWolf the removable cup is totes nice for cleaning. hope it works well :vlpn_blep: it'll be a lil less consistent than a burr grinder, but for an aeropress i think you should be fine there once you dial it in :vlpn_blep:

@leggylav oh awesome, thanks! :pixel_pawheart_teal: That makes me feel better about going for this one instead of the Bodum.

Just woke up, can't wait to try it out this morning!

@leggylav ... Wow first cup was INCREDIBLY sour. Way worse than preground even.

@leggylav Second cup I tried not getting out the superfines, and steeping it for a minute before pressing, and it was bitter instead of sour I think! Progress!

It's a bit of a pain to wipe the grinder out. Maybe we should have gotten a cheap $10 noname hand burr grinder off ebay.

@leggylav I am also very, very glad we got the one with the removable grindy cup!

Apparently it takes the whole blade assembly with it, which is good; I was worried only half of the bowl would separate, leaving a hole in the bottom where the grounds would fall out. Nope.

I bet if we had a hex socket wrench we could remove the blade, too!
