We're moving our coffee operation into a much smaller space, and I'm considering pre-grinding a small amount of decaf at the beginning of the day (maybe using the Bunn drip grinder set on "espresso") and keeping it in a small Cambro container by the espresso grinder. Right now we have two sub-par espresso grinders for reg and decaf, but will be replacing those with one higher quality grinder (Compak K10 or Mazzer, maybe), and it sure would save a lot of money and space to not buy a second one just for decaf, considering how few requests we have for it (maybe five customers per shift, tops). We could retain one of the cheap grinders just for decaf, but our counter space is going to be prime real estate.
Thoughts?
