Grinder down
« on: January 08, 2014, 06:37:39 AM »
Sad day today.  My grinder leapt to it's death this morning.  Why oh why?

On the plus side, I have a set of burrs at home.  On the down side, the burrs are at home, and I am not.  Looks like a tea morning tomorrow.

What were you grinding?  Odd the burr would break.  Was there a rock in you beans?

I apparently upset it somehow because it took a leap off the counter to the tile floor.  I took my eyes off it for just a second and it jumped.

The Taz that I had this morning prior to the grinder suicide was wonderful though!

Wow never heard of a grinder jumping off the counter, maybe time for some Gorilla glue or epoxy. Must have been allot of virbation to cause that to happen. Good luck

I feel your pain, just the other week i was discussing with one of my coffee buds down here how I must be very lucky because I never got a rock yet.
Sure $#it very next morning I hear GRRRRr bwhirrrrrr and the sound of gears not quite meshing.... there goes my baratza.   I could pull it apart but im in slug mode and am just using my super jolly.   Next rock won't have a chance :D
