I got a super awesome and incredibly thoughtful gift! :)

In my "Notes for my Santa" section I mentioned that I don't have a coffee grinder briefly (among tons of info about how I like my tea and coffee) -- and lo and behold! My Santa was really thoughtful and decided to provide my with a really nice and good one! :)

When I got the gift I was super excited but quickly noticed a very weird electric plug (American). Well.. I thought to myself this shouldn't be a problem, as my landlord is a bit of a hoarder and surely enough attached to our vacuum cleaner was a really weird taped contraption that fitted (photos included). I was about to plug the grinder on, but thankfully thought to check the voltage for the grinder. It was 120V/60Hz, which not what we have in Europe (230V/50Hz). I checked if the landlord's contraption was capable of transforming the voltage. But alas! -- no.

So one gloomy, cold and rainy day -- like Frodo with Sam taking on an adventure to Mount Doom, I went with my s.o. out in search for the right stuff to make the grinder work instead of momentarily exploding. After some time we found the right place with the right device and quickly hurried home to check it out!

I was incredibly excited to find out the grinder cooperated happily with this device! :)

It turned out that not only does it work, it works brilliantly, grinding the coffee exquisitely. The aroma of the ground coffee was heavenly and after the ready product left my coffee machine it turned out it tasted like heaven itself! :) Better than restaurant quality, for sure!

Santa!! You were very, very thoughtful and provided me with a really awesome and kick-ass gift! Thank you so, so much!!! :)
