The grinder at my office died on Monday and I had to drink pre ground all week
Our office burr grinder finally gave out Monday morning, so I grabbed a bag of pre ground from the grocery store near my desk in Austin. By Wednesday the stuff tasted like cardboard, and I caught myself sniffing the stale beans like something was going to change. I even tried shaking the basket harder like that fixes anything. Anyone else been stuck drinking bad pre ground for a stretch, and did you just tough it out or bring your own setup from home?
Been there, that stale cardboard taste is the worst. Just grab an Aeropress and a hand grinder for your desk, takes like 30 seconds and saves your whole week.
