Dropped $65 on a hand grinder for my 3pm cup and it fixed the one thing bugging me | Afternoon Coffee Lovers

I picked up a $65 hand grinder last month after my old blade grinder left big chunks in my afternoon brew and made it taste muddy. The first week was rough since grinding 18 grams by hand takes about 90 seconds and my arm wasn't ready for it, but now the cup is way more even and I actually look forward to that little ritual around 3pm. Your mileage may vary if you're making more than one cup, since a hand crank gets old fast. Does anyone else here grind fresh for their later cup, or do you just pre-grind in the morning and call it good?
