I consider myself a decent cook in regards of knife skills, mise en place, little spills/cleanup and overall fuckups.
But I fucking hate cooking with other people in the kitchen like my friends, parents or dates, or even having them inside the kitchen. I just need fucking space to breathe and work in and your fucking nagging about how I made a spill there or „owie, this sauce is too spicey, owie” DOES NOT FUCKING HELP. I have a pair of eyes you fucking retard and I clearly see this miniscule mistake which shall be corrected within a minute or two. God I hate people fucking with my cooking style, eat a dick or something for fucks sake. Now I understand why my dad hates when mom nags, it causes such a visceral rage

The people that like them only like them because it's LITERALLY THE ONLY GRINDER THEY'VE EVER OWNED. They don't have any idea what they're talking about. They just don't.

It's like that episode of Family Guy where Quagmire was all excited about the Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue because he didn't know about internet porn.

Those grinders and their ilk are absolutely terrible, in every possible respect. Build quality, burr quality, grind quality, grind time — everything.

EVERYTHING.

They're a waste of money. You're literally better off with nothing than you are with a hario/porlex/javapresse/etc. because they'll fool you into thinking you have a coffee grinder when you ACTUALLY DON'T. They're more like a coffee toy or a prop.

The problem is that plebbit tells every coffee newfag to waste their money on a hario grinder and an aeropress for $70-$90, when what they should be getting is an $80 timemore slim grinder and $8 v60.

The cheapest worthwhile grinder for pourover is $80, and the cheapest worthwhile grinder for espresso (it's also great for pourover) is the $200 Kinu M47 Phoenix.
