Man, I feel this in my soul. My burrs died back in March and I spent two weeks with a blade grinder before I cracked. Every cup was either dust or chunks and the flavor was just burnt and flat no matter what I did with the water. I tried shaking the thing while grinding like some kind of idiot and it did not help one bit. You are not alone in the muddy cup struggle.

Honestly the real move is taking a card or bank transfer only for anything under $100. I've had $47 checks cost me way more than $47 in time, between trips to the bank, phone calls, and just the stress of wondering if it would ever show up. Now anything small gets paid upfront or it doesn't get started, and my life is way easier. Small amounts should be simple, not a 7 month mystery.

bill $40 for each extra one" and watch them suddenly get picky real fast lol
