A customer was still crumbling his flower with his fingers before every session, not knowing a good grinder would completely change the consistency and taste of his experience.
Why an even grind changes everything
Flower crumbled by hand gives an uneven mix, with pieces that are too big and burn badly and others too fine that slip through the filter. A grinder guarantees an even texture, which clearly improves the burn and the final taste.
Metal, wood or plastic: what really matters
A metal grinder with several chambers remains the most durable and effective choice, often with a screen that separates the pollen collecting at the bottom – an interesting material in its own right. Plastic wears out faster and can slightly alter the taste over time.
Maintenance, often forgotten
A grinder clogged with resin residue ends up cutting flower less well, so it's worth taking it apart and cleaning it regularly, a bit like a pipe. A few minutes are enough to get a clean, even grind back.
"I'd never had a grinder before – I didn't think it was necessary. Since I've been using one, my sessions are much more consistent in taste."
