The cynic in me wants to scoff at the notion but once I upgraded from a Porlex to a Comandante, every cup changed for the better and my workflow improved.
That one experience has instilled in me that MOR£ GRIND£R = better coffee. I imagine there's a cut-off point where even a blank cheque wouldn't change my ability to taste the difference though!

Going from a Hario to a Timemore c2 was an absolute game changer in brew quality.
Also going from a v60 to using a clever dripper not only improved my brews, but it just makes the whole thing so much easier, especially when dialling in (maybe my v60 technique was just awful, but the CD is just better IMO). -
I appreciate there can be a jump going from a cheap grinder to something more expensive but when you've got a 500 quid grinder and you think dropping a grand on another is going to get magic results is nonsense.
If you're doing it for a living, efficiency, profile, retention etc are massive things as little things scale up massively. If you're just on your own making a shot or two a day its madness.
But hey, spend your money on whatever you want there's plenty of things I waste money on which people would find bonkers.

I love all the insane grinder chat in the coffee world, it's the coffee equivalent of the 20 stone investment banker getting carbon everything for those weight gains.
You're all mental but I do like watching vids about it.
