About 2-3 times a year, I drop the bottom piece of my grinder and lose ALL the kief.
I just accept it as something that is inevitable.
When I'm smoking it, I just scoop it up with the tip of my pocket knife and tap/wipe it on top of the bowl I loaded.

DMT is my favorite drug. Once you smoke it changes your world a bit and you become aware of a certain weirdness in the universe. It's a beautiful substance and I hope you get the opportunity to try it.

Your bud is weaker without trichomes though

Grinding your bud separating the kief and all that

It's just a waste of time, imo

It's not as if grinding weed removes all the trichomes.
In fact, if you break your weed with your fingers, you knock off or crush just as many trichomes; the difference is that I get some of the lost trichomes back when they fall through the kief screen.  If you don't have a grinder with a kief screen, I'd venture to say you'd be smoking MORE trichomes than somebody who breaks by hand!
The bud does not get noticeably weaker because you break it does it?
Same thing is true in a grinder.

With regard to putting a coin in the grinder, what actually happens is that you pulverize more plant material, which makes it look like a ton of kief, but all you've done is forced tiny bits of leaf and bud through the screen. 
Real "kief" is essentially dry-screened hash, and consists only of trichomes that fall through the screen in the grinding process or a very limited amount of plant material.

That's a fair point about the trichomes getting lost when you break up the bud by hand. I hadn't thought of that actually.

It may be aesthetics, I don't know, but ground up weed looks sucky to me. I just love squishing a nice nug into my bowl. I think it might even taste better, too. Wouldn't you rather eat steak than hamburger?
