My neighbor the barista told me my grinder was ruining my coffee for 2 years

I was over at his place last week and he made me a cup from my own beans. Tasted completely different. He said my blade grinder was burning the grounds before they even hit the water. Felt kind of dumb but he showed me his burr grinder and the difference was night and day. Anyone else have someone point out an obvious gear problem you been ignoring?

Feels like that's how most gear problems work though. You just get used to the bad version until someone shows you the good version and then you can't unsee it.

My buddy swore by broken headphones for months til I handed him my old pair and he nearly cried.
