I swapped out the momentary switch for a standard on/off switch from Amazon for my Eureka Mignon Filtro grinder.

The tiny act of not having to stand there pressing the button in the whole time you are grinding coffee seems petty and ridiculous but genuinely results in a better routine overall. I am now free to focus on other aspects of coffee prep and as a result the routine, even if just for the short time the beans are grinding, is improved

I like multitasking. What can I say.

Nice. I put stickers on the grinder adjustments so I can always fairly quickly get it about right. Although the difference between good/bad espresso is about 1tick. Other brew methods about 10.

If I could do it all again I'd skip the espresso machine and get better manual brewing tools. Which now I WFH is much easier to justify.

The water spray to reduce static is pretty much required on all grinders.

Not sure about this grinder specifically, but a doserless mod might be possible too. Not strictly necessary though.

Very easy to get carried away with coffee gear.
