When I don't feel like grinding my coffee... (lemmy.world)

I bust out a drill with a 7 mm nut setter.

Works like a charm. I give the trigger the lightest squeeze and I can grind my coffee in ½ the time with ⅒ the effort.

I did that for a while but eventually I bent the rod, slightly, and the consistency went to shit. Make sure you keep that drill level!

I'll probably end up splurging on an electric model early next year. I just got this little hand-powered burr grinder on the cheap earlier this year while I was making sure that fresh-grinding my morning coffee was something I wanted to implement into my routine long-term. That said, this little guy is really convenient to take into the office so yeah, I'm doing my best to be extra careful with it.

Still, some mornings are just really tough. So I do what I must to get my fix.

Sounds like a reason to set up a drill press in the kitchen
