Re: Decaf

In the final analysis the economics determines the outcome. Your decision
will either make more profit or less. If the "less" is not enough for the
business to continue then you simply don't make it, end of story.

If you decide that you cannot do without the second grinder despite the fact
that it will lose you enough money to send you broke, then you shouldn't be
in business, any business.

Of course we are talking extremes here, and a real life situation is more
complex than what I have outlined. The bottom line is what do I gain or
lose by not having one compared to having one. In the scheme of things, a
second grinder is probably not going to tip the scales either way to any
significant degree.
