I swapped out the momentary switch for a standard on/off switch from Amazon for my Eureka Mignon Filtro grinder.

The tiny act of not having to stand there pressing the button in the whole time you are grinding coffee seems petty and ridiculous but genuinely results in a better routine overall. I am now free to focus on other aspects of coffee prep and as a result the routine, even if just for the short time the beans are grinding, is improved

I like multitasking. What can I say.

Superglue the button down and plug/unplug lol. The lazy ass method.

Simply stop paying your power company bills whenever you don't want it on. That's way easier and also cheeper

The penalty could be expensive in some places...

Only if you trust the Internet Of Shit

You can still use it for the physical button

It's lazy by forcing you to find and unplug the outlet (or plug it in).... instead of pressing a button, a categorically easier thing to do.

Wire the outlet to a wall switch

[–] MystikIncarnate@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 years ago

That seems like what OP did, but with more steps.

Yeah but you're not just pressing the button, you have to hold it down the whole time.

[–] MystikIncarnate@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

You hold it down, by pressing it.

I'm still technically correct :p
