Declining quality of consumer-grade products – 2009 fridge compressor autopsy

Commercial grade devices are often not suitable for home use - for example commercial dishwashers are a totally different beast, their cycles are like 10 minutes and they are meant for disinfection nore than cleaning. They need frequent maintenance, dont come with a pump, dont tolerate long periods of non use, etc.

I noticed this when looking into coffee grinders.

A commercial one is a problem at home unless you make 20 coffees a day because it is going to retain a lot of grinds (not a problem if you have a lot of throughput, it won't go stale). It will also be noisy and big.

A prosumer one should be quite and good for not retaining grinds, but would be bad for commercial as it wont be fast enough (ten times slower), and you you don't want to wait grind for every shot. Also a prosumer one would look nicer probably.

FWIW I've had a Baratza grinder going strong with daily use for 5+ years
