Funny, that's what yo mama told me last night!

You and I may disagree, but hot damn Timemore makes a sexy product.

Steel conducts heat. If you grind coffee with steel, there's risk of slightly cooking the beans - changing the flavor profile.

Ceramic, in contrast, is an insulator. Therefore, it's safer to use ceramic grinders for coffee.

If you handle a ceramic burr grinder properly, you can get consistent enough grinds quickly enough to make consistent, high quality coffee. Those of us who grind by hand don't care as much about speed - we are grinding by hand, after all.

It's not worth the risk to add heat to the grind process.

I'll add that I don't judge if people use steel grinders for their coffee. It's your coffee, make it the way you like it! But ceramic grinders are hardly garbage, and Porlex does make some of the best hand mills.

you're an easily searchable question.

Yeah, I typically brew a 1L French press. My usual routine is to fill up the Tall's hopper, grind it all, then add/grind just a little more. I do a coarse grind, of course.

I got the Tall II right after it came out. I was looking for a new travel mill, and I almost got the Mini II, but I realized I wanted something bigger than that.

So now the Tall II is my primary one, and my original Tall is my travel mill. 😁 And I'm very happy with that.

I haven't used the mini, but I own both the Porlex Tall and the Tall II.

I've also used a variety of other hand mills.

There is Porlex, and there is everything else.

My Hario Mini Mill was my daily driver until I got the original Tall. When I got the Tall II, I stopped using the Hario entirely.

Sometimes. Other times, he's in that same spot on top of the blanket.

He may or may not be wearing a sweater at the same time.

Townscaper.

Click buttons and build cute, tiny villages.

Zero pressure. Easy to pick up and put down.

I did say "near."

I can't disagree. I love Manjaro on one of my devices, a shitty old HP laptop. It runs better than any other distro on it, and it's smooth as butter (even for light gaming) even though the hardware is terrible.

But.

I've had to reinstall more than once because things broke while installing upgrades, lol

Yeah but I replied with it because I misunderstood what was being asked. It's not relevant to OP's question.

If I had left it, it would just add to the confusion.

Ohhhhhhhhhhh

It's kind of both things. Sites like Walmart encourage users to leave reviews, but that leaves the door open for unhappy customers to complain.

Same thing is rampant on Amazon.

I always wonder whether the people bother to actually contact the companies to try to get things fixed, or if they just post out of anger and expect someone to respond to them.

They aren't filtered because companies like Walmart don't actually read the reviews.

You can pressure your wash drums, but drumming on a pressure washer is less reliable.

It's no more unhealthy than if you were to use it to mix a drink.

That said, check out Soylent and Huel. they make powdered meals that are actually healthy and nutritious. Would be healthier than sugary drink powder.

Clippy as a hidden character.

Curious why you'd care about nicad? Or is it just for the sake of completeness?

That's more anti-finance than anti-work.

They run a business making soap, after all.
