In my student home, we own a stubborn cheap, little coffee grinder. I estimate it has grinded over 100kg of coffee beans in over 10 years time.
Expected one of there parts to fail:
- The motor
- The cable
- The button
- The safety switch that detects the lid
I wonder what happened to the employee who designed this grinder. Maybe they got fired because they should have used cheaper components to generate more profit.

It could also be the effect of attrition. Mechanical engineers nowadays maybe never have the time to become grinding experts before they switch job.
