Kidney beans are a type of bean that looks like a human's kidney. Thus the name.

    hobby subreddits are an exercise in classist consumption. i'm looking for a coffee grinder. something that will make my beans small enough to run hot water through them. i refuse to believe that grinding organic matter is this complicated of a subject. there's fucking :reddit-logo: posters out there convincing themselves they have to buy a $300 item that can only grind coffee beans. every thread is this i just want to make bean dust for less than $15

      I'm lucky thay my local coffee shop knows that if people are getting a coffee grinder, they don't want to spend $30, never mind $300. I got a nice mahogany wood hand-crank one for $35. It's big, too, and it can connect to jars.

      I finally decided to ditch my drip coffee machine and pre-ground coffee for a pour-over carafe and whole beans, I am feeling the same struggle as you right now. I'd love a burr grinder but I just can't shake the feeling that I'd be a sucker paying >$50 for one, and those are the CHEAPEST ones. Then in the reviews they will be like 4.5+ stars overall, but the top 5 most helpful rated reviews are like "this thing gave me cancer and caught my house on fire".

      FWIW though, even the cheapest blade grinder and whole bean coffee will probably make a better tasting cup than the best pre-ground.
