10 minutes of boring footage
If anything it shows how the blades make the beans/larger bits jump away from it resulting in a grind that's way less even than the cheapest burr grinder's.

Burr grinders represent.

Do you really care if one bit is a molecule larger than the other? I sure don't.

Depending how you brew, it can cause your coffee to have more of the bitter flavours because the size of the pieces is not consistent compared to your method of brewing.
Still not fast enough. Also needs better zoom.
Kind of expected to see super slow-mo blade effortlessly slicing through individual beans in HD, exposing their content and cool stuff like that. Got dishwasher-grade footage.

It's more of a chop than a grind

Should have gotten the slow mo guys in.

Coffee is really complex. If you fuck up the harvest time, the roasting, the grind, the dosing, the tamp, or the extraction, the coffee will taste like shit. A lot of time and effort goes into making coffee taste good when it goes into your cup, Starbucks uses mass produced roasted beans so they can cut down costs but improve production rates, while sacrificing quality for consistancy. If you can visit an artisan cafe that roasts themselves you'll find that coffee tastes so much better there.
But if you're having a double-shot mocha-wocha creamed caramel chocochino with sprinkles & gummy bear topping, you probably won't notice the difference.

Pre-ground coffee/the over roasted starbucks stuff is fine and good, but when you go and buy your own whole beans, get some better equipment than a drip coffeemaker, etc you want everything to be as good as possible, and as brt said it does influence the taste of the coffee. Besides, it's not even much more expensive to get a manual burr grinder instead of an electric blade "grinder".
holy shit that's a cheap high speed camera

It can apparently film at up to 18,000 fps. And besides, it accepts Nikon F mount lenses, which is pretty nice.
I remember back when the Casio EX-F1 was the affordable hi-speed camera.
Sure, this one costs 5 times more, but that's still really affordable for what it is.

Not terribly impressed with the ISO performance though.
