Hiya, just quickly wondering how people store their coffee? Mine is in a tin box I got second hand, cos I thought it looked nice. Any rules regarding storing grounded coffee? I don’t store much at the time, it’s just if I grind a little too much and what not. I’m assuming the general thumb rule for this is to store it in a closed container.

Feel free to share pics of your containers 🌻

Edit: My grinder doesn’t allow for selective ground mode, but a new grinder is defo on the list! Seems like keeping them as beans for as long as possible - is the way.

    Buy an inexpensive hand grinder

    Any suggestions there? I’ve looked in the past from recommended review sites but some of the ones I saw suggested online as quality started at like $80. Also does it take a long time to grind say 6-8 tablespoons of ground coffee?

      I see a lot of people recommending the Timemore C2 as a cheap first grinder. Look for one on AliExpress and it’ll be cheaper than scAmazon. <$50 that sounds like the best option. I dug around a bit earlier and it looks like you can get one for ~$40 when they’re on sale.

        I haven’t used that specific model, but Timemore makes great stuff. Them and 1zpresso are the class of the current gen of hand grinders imo.

          Yeah, I have a 1zpresso k ultra and it’s a phenomenal grinder. I haven’t fired up my electric grinder since I bought it.

      I’m out of the loop here, you’re better off making a new post and asking everyone. I ascended to a $200+ 1zpresso last year and I’m never going back. Someone on Reddit bought it and had buyers remorse so when I saw it listed for half price I couldn’t resist.

      I can tell you not to buy the Hario Skerton or Skerton Pro though; both were incredibly inconsistent and I had a terrible time brewing using them. Even with stabilizer ring mods they both made a ton of fines and boulders, they weren’t good for anything except very coarse grind cold brew.
