I’ve been using my grinder (Baratza maestro plus) for ten years now, and I got it used. I’ve replaced some parts (e.g., burrs), but I’m wondering if it’s finally time to let it go. It seems like it’s not grinding as consistently as it once was, but I’m thinking it would be good to quantify it.
I’ve seen sieves used to classify ground coffee, specifically, the brand Kruve seems to be a nice implementation. It’s $90 for the cheapest version, though, which doesn’t quite seem worth it to me. It seems like it’d be better to just spend the money going towards a new grinder, but I figured it would be good to ask for anyone’s experience here.
