My wife has been making bread by hand for years.
The heavy gritty stuff full of seeds and wholemeal flour.
You get used to bread with a bit of grunt.
It's messier than using a breadmaker but not a whole lot and the end result is pretty good.
I hesitate to ask, 'why the grinder'? Is it a blade one?
I got a reconditioned Panasonic SD-2501 breadmaker on ebay from the Panasonic tech people (panatech I think?) - half price and full warranty. In fact the smell of baking bread is wafting through the house right now. I had thought maybe it could convert to a roaster once the initial flush of fresh bread wore off, but 7 months later it still hasn't... plus the missus would kill me.
nope its a breville CG12. burr grinder. nothing to fancy. but a step up from my cheapo hand grinder.and its only for my secondary office. the bonus with it that i can add shims to make it grind finer
so i might even end up as my home one. depending how it performs
and i didnt get breadmaker on that walk............but....... a few hours later i did find another one for $5 and a popcorn popper for $2
FYI Percolator coffee is a far cry from drip filtered coffee. Be prepared. Next to tossing some grounds in a pot of water and boiling it over an open fire percolator's are the worst brewing method around.
Java "Enjoy the experiment!" phile
my terminology was incorrect. it is a drip filter machine. the type used to make coffees with when i was an apprentice. without even being a coffee drinker
i actually know a few Panasonic techs so if this BM proves insufficient i can see them for one
Well..... i walked out with a grinder and a percolator to use in the office. All for the princely sum of $14.50
Never had drip filtered coffee before, so this was cheap why to try it.

Damn my addictive personality. while out getting lunch i thought i would stick my head into the Salvos store down the road.
Mainly with the intent to see if they had any Breadmakers and how much they would be.
