Someone with a functioning brain would grind their coffee and set up
their coffee brewer the evening prior... it's not rocket science... I
did that for many years. Only ignoranuses grind coffee in the early
morning while others are sleeping. Coffee grinders are very loud, and
also messy... normal folks don't want to be futzing with a coffee
grinder first thing in the early morning.

Anyone who needs the entire pound ground at once should be buying
already ground coffee or grind it in the store's grinder... and then
there's no reason to own a coffee mill... if the motor burned out toss
it in the trash, you really don't need a coffee mill.
