I'll probably end up splurging on an electric model early next year. I just got this little hand-powered burr grinder on the cheap earlier this year while I was making sure that fresh-grinding my morning coffee was something I wanted to implement into my routine long-term. That said, this little guy is really convenient to take into the office so yeah, I'm doing my best to be extra careful with it.
Still, some mornings are just really tough. So I do what I must to get my fix.
I have a special 12" wide cabinet/countertop next to the fridge, which my wife has designated as my coffee area. As long as I don't intrude on the rest of the kitchen with it, she's cool with it lol
