Michelle: 我个人不太喜欢用新鲜研磨的咖啡豆，主要是觉得清理起来太麻烦了。虽然我也承认，用法式压滤壶和新鲜研磨咖啡豆做出来的咖啡确实更美味，但权衡之下，还是选择了更便捷的方式。不过，如果以后有机会，我也愿意尝试一下新鲜研磨的咖啡，毕竟美味的诱惑力还是很大的。
Aubrey: 我和Michelle的看法差不多，也不太喜欢用新鲜研磨的咖啡豆，主要也是觉得清理起来太麻烦了。不过，'grind'这个词有很多含义，'grinded'作为过去式在口语中可以接受，但并非所有含义都适用。当'grind'表示将某物磨成粉末时，过去式应该用'ground'，而不是'grinded'。而且，为了避免混淆，人们可能会避免使用'grind'的简单过去式，而选择其他表达方式。
