On week 3 of triple feeding a newborn, never thought this would happen to me, but here we are. Trying to get ahead of grinding coffee for the following morning. At least I can blame this one on a lack of sleep.

You need to be grinding much finer.

You should put the dosing cup there before you start grinding.

How long did you stare at it before you realized what went wrong? Sometimes when I made a sleep-deprived mistake, it takes me a couple minutes to register why this morning is different, like my brain is saying “Huh… this doesn’t seem right.” For example, last week I was trying to make tea and used ground coffee by mistake, or when I hadn’t realized the water was cold (stupid smart kettle), or when I dumped the unused tea leaves in the sink instead of pouring the hot water on them.
Sometimes I just want to break down sobbing, “I just want caffeine!”

Happened to me last winter. I looked at it, grinding, and noticed it didn’t land in the dosing cup, and I was wondering where the hell I put it. Roughly 5 seconds after grinding was done, I realized that I still held it in one hand. My first thought was I should call in sick and go back to bed.

Ha! Beat you – Twice in 3 weeks. After a year and a half, I know what I’m doing, I would never forget to put the catch cup in place … the majority of Niche owners have to have this happen at some point, right?

I do this entirely too often.

I’m in a similar place in my life, and I measured out beans and poured them into the grinder with the cap still on yesterday and they went everywhere.

I forgot to attach the magnetic catch cup to my hand grinder and walked all around the kitchen while grinding. 19 grams, and a whole “lap” around the kitchen island later, I stepped on slippery powder and realized what had been going on for 80 turns of that handle.
