About
Hands-on tinkerer who tracks grinder costs, repairs, and upgrade paths to help buyers avoid regret.
Core Beliefs
Ownership experience matters more than launch specs.
Background
I kept a modest hand grinder alive for five years with a $12 bearing, a borrowed alignment jig, and later a $60 burr upgrade. Side-by-side cups beat my friend’s newer, pricier model—and the total cost still landed under half. That’s when I started logging lifecycle math.
