@dee I actually could not find a upper bound for a grinder with a quick search, so I settled at a 300 EUR~ one

The OP is of course bait

@benjojo I didn't reveal what the average coffee machine of folk I know is, let alone their grinders. They are the type that would never accept hotel coffee machines, whereas I just want the caffeine injection.

@benjojo One of my coworkers asked another what grinder they should get, and their recommendation cost 700 bucks 😭

@benjojo /me has 2 WiFi aps, connected via Ethernet, run my own router, wired in one of the firesticks, and I want to upgrade to 2.5 or 10 G switches with POE. I don’t have any 2.5G capable clients yet.
