I swapped out the momentary switch for a standard on/off switch from Amazon for my Eureka Mignon Filtro grinder.
The tiny act of not having to stand there pressing the button in the whole time you are grinding coffee seems petty and ridiculous but genuinely results in a better routine overall. I am now free to focus on other aspects of coffee prep and as a result the routine, even if just for the short time the beans are grinding, is improved
I like multitasking. What can I say.
My Moccamaster is on a smart plug. Yes, I use 12 hour old beans, but my coffee is ready by the time I go down stairs.
But let’s be honest, 12 hours is nothing. The reason pre ground coffee is stale is that it is there for weeks, months, or years pre ground.
