Comment on whatever happened to in-store coffee grinders?

  I would suggest getting your own grinder. Beans going through that thing probably have 31 flavors in them by the time they’re ground.

    You say that like it’s a bad thing.

      I like flavored coffee on occasion. We have two grinders, the slightly lower quality one gets all the flavored beans, they never go into the good grinder.

      That said, I got a handful of flavors recently to share with friends. I like to bring our espresso machine glamping, I set it up on a table under a tarp next to our tent, with a 100 foot cord running to a small generator.

      When I got home, I tried mixing a little bit of each flavor together. 5 flavors,a few beans from each. It was honestly terrible. Far worse than any individual flavor by itself. It wasn’t unique or interesting, it was bad, and I’ll never do it again 🤷‍♂️

  Oh wow! That’s even more expensive a selection than I remember. Is this a chain, or a local store?

    H-E-B Central Market. It’s a Texas chain.

  I do not drink coffee in any capacity. Why do some of them require “employee assistance” and others don’t??

    my guess is those ones are damaged or something and have to be opened from the top instead

    Dispensers were damaged, so if you tried to dispense it, it’d end up all over the floor.

    (Nah, really they just exceed the daily allowed amount of caffeine and require a prescription to dispense)
