Broke the coffee grinder

[conuly]

It's a manual coffee grinder, and it had gotten jammed, so here I am carefully taking the whole thing apart when I drop the burr and it breaks in half. God damn it.

What did you do, that the coffee gnomes cursed you so?

Sympathies. May you find the correct propitiating rituals soon.

[conuly]

I have no clue.

RIP manual coffee grinder.

It’s like when you tip toe in the house to be super silent only to bang into walls and knock over items making significantly more noise than just walking normally.

With catlike tread....

Baha - you've heard my cats. :)

In an emergency, you can just chew the coffee beans.

[conuly]

I'll pass that along to my mom?

[chasing_silver]

Ah, fuck. I'm sorry to hear it. <3

[conuly]

Thanks.

You roll a lot of natural 1 when coffee is concerned

[conuly]

Not usually. Just lately....

[notasupervillain]

Offended any coffee fae lately?

[agoodwinsmith]

Well. That'll frost your fanny, and no mistake.

This would be a complete disaster in our household, too!

What kind of manual grinder do you use? We have a wall-mounted one for most of the time (like this one), but I wound up getting S a handheld, sleek-looking affair for times when he's traveling (a porlex - pricey!). The handheld one is all right but some of the parts have worn out pretty quickly (point where the handle connects).

Can you get those now? Looks like they're only antiques, more's the pity.

They're hard to find. I got mine new, but in Australia at a public market. It was a large object to lug home, but as soon as I saw it I knew I wanted it and I've had zero regrets.
