TRAVELING WITH your own coffee grinder? That would be taking things too far.

My Capresso grinder, by the way, just quit working the other day. I mean, when you turn it on it makes noises and things go round and round, but somehow no coffee gets ground. I took it apart, cleaned everything and saw no problems, and put it back together, but it still doesn’t work. Maybe I’ll go with that KitchenAid.
