Please familiarize yourself with them


2) All posts must end with a '?'This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?


3) No spamPlease do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.


4) NSFW is okay, within reasonJust remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com. NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].

Just discovered a much easier way to grind my coffee in the morning and felt dumb because it was so obvious, figure there's some good stories out there about this type of thing out there

now I believe you owe us a coffee tip

It's not applicable to most grinders so I left it out. My grinder is a manual one with three pieces, the top which has the grinder, the bottom jar it screws on to, along with a cap to screw on to the jar to preserve ground coffee when not in use. I store it with the cap on and the top separate. You load the beans into the top part, but the top doesn't have a flat bottom so I would try and balance it and frequently spill the beans when loading it instead of just taking the cap off and screwing it on to the jar and then loading the beans...
