An unofficial chapter of the popular Dull Men's Club.
1. Relevant commentary on your own dull life. Posts should be about your own dull, lived experience. This is our most important rule. Direct questions, random thoughts, comment baiting, advice seeking, many uses of "discuss" rarely comply with this rule.
2. Original, Fresh, Meaningful Content.
3. Avoid repetitive topics.
4. This is not a search engine
Use a search engine, a tradesperson, Reddit, friends, a specialist Facebook group, apps, Wikipedia, an AI chat, a reverse image search etc. to answer simple questions or identify objects. Also see rule 1, “comment baiting”.
There are a number of content specific communities with subject matter experts who can help you.
Some other communities to consider before posting:
5. Keep it dull. If it puts us to sleep, it’s on the right track. Examples of likely not dull: jokes, gross stuff (including toes), politics, religion, royalty, illness or injury, killing things for fun, or promotional content. Feel free to post these elsewhere.
6. No hate speech, sexism, or bullying No sexism, hate speech, degrading or excessively foul language, or other harmful language. No othering or dehumanizing of anyone or negativity towards any gender identity.
7. Proofread before posting. Use good grammar and punctuation. Avoid useless phrases. Some examples: - starting a post with "So" - starting a post with pointless phrases, like "I hope this is allowed" or “this is my first post” Only share good quality, cropped images. Do not share screenshots of images; share the original image.

Are you sure that you are in the right community? These kind of questions are getting close to interesting.
The answers have returned the conversation to dullness. Talking about the specifics of coffee grinders ... yawn
Oxo conical burr grinder. Fairly common, works well enough.
That's a slightly bigger boy than my hario hand grinder!
My wrists are too old for hand grinders!
Ohh hario. I have their ceramic pour over thingy. Definitely a step up from the envelope shaped ones. It's a pain to find filters in stores though.
Highly recommend keeping your grinder clean. Two months old leftover dust isn’t going to improve the taste in any way.
What about two year dust?
There are grinder cleaners that are basically coffee beans made of cleaner that you can order from any place that sells coffee equipment.
You grind the cleaner then grind a batch of sacrificial beans and you're good to go.
It only starts getting good at the decades mark.
James Hoffman has tried some really old coffee and it has always tasted truly vile. It could still start to get better after a century or two.
I call that seasoning
I've heard that running uncooked rice through is an easy way to clean them. Never tried it though
When I worked slinging coffees, we used a specific coffee machine cleaning substance. You poured in these pill shaped bits and they'd absorb excess oil as they ground through the machine.
How do you even clean them?
Disassemble as best you can, brush out all the bits with a clean paintbrush, damp cloth to wipe everything. It's not factory clean but it's better.
Watching this.
Is there any update/followup bot for lemmy?
