used the manual Bialetti burr grinder for the first time this morning to make coffee on the Socialist Induction Stove – what a slog. u feel like a medieval jester grinding for 10 minutes: “yes, m’lord, moar beannns”

if anything doesn’t align, it won’t close. you have to unscrew the handle to add new beans. I then brewed the grounds in the Bialetti Venus on the induction plate, which took another bronze age because stove keeps cutting out.

the coffee is slightly better due to the consistent grind, but I don’t think it’s worth it

I conclude that manual grinders are anti-capitalist
