There are a lot of grinders similar to the ones in that video. OXO, Bodum, Cuisinart. I am kinder to them than James; I’m not bothered by them being loud, nor does static particularly offend me, nor does it annoy me that they might be asymmetrical on my counter. For many people these aren’t starter grinders, they’re just coffee grinders that do fine and fit a reasonable budget. They’d be a big step up from your blade grinder.

If you’re buying or really want to get into high end coffee a hand powered grinder will give more nuance, but obviously it’s much more work every time you make coffee.

The powered step up would be a Baratza Encore and its ilk. Out of budget but maybe worth knowing exists.
