I didn't think grind method really mattered as I always used a Krupps. Out of the blue a relative sent me his Lido 2 that he wasn't using anymore as bought another grinder that for him was easier .
I make coffee with a 12 cup (hah hah that's 2oz. per cup) aluminum Bialetti Moka pot and I use about 1/4c beans that makes for one nice big mug 'o joe. My preferred coffee to grind is Seattle's Best #5, dark, smoky and luscious. Upon tasting the Lido ground brew my first thought was something akin to "well ain't that a kick in the pants, I never tasted* this* from the Krupps grind, yummm ! " Bye bye Krupps. I find the Lido a breeze to grind, the key for me was to be creative on how you hold it to your body. It's all intuitive. For myself it's all about the flavor, and since the hand grind tastes notably better, so it is. I've tried lots of brands of whole bean coffee and nothing tastes more pleasing to me that SB #5 and I can get it at my local Kroger so the bags are always "fresh". My brother doesn't care about the grind or any flavor as long as it's *coffee and cheap *so he can make a whole drip pot and drink it all day long. Everything works for Everybody, and ain't that a kicker ! ;-) On Friday, May 31, 2019 at 11:05:20 AM UTC-4, Mark in Beacon wrote: > Can someone explain the awesome advantage hand grinders have over my > little electric Krupps?
