Back when I thought any grinder would do for espresso
Honestly, thinking back to when I first got into coffee, I made some big mistakes. Tbh, my worst was trying to grind beans for espresso with a cheap blade grinder. I didn't know about grind size and just let it run until it sounded wrong. Ngl, the motor stopped after a few goes, and I was left with chunky grounds. It taught me to respect the tools and learn first. Now, I see how coffee fans have changed, with more talk about right gear. But that early fail still makes me cringe when I hear a grinder strain.

Ever wonder if that first bad shot made you more picky now than if you'd started with good gear? Like your taste got shaped by trying to fix a mess.

Yeah, I see that everywhere, not just with coffee. Like when you fight with a terrible old phone for years, and then when you finally get a decent one, you notice every little detail working right. You end up caring about stuff you never would have if you started with the good version. It makes you hyper aware of how things should be.
