Coffee is more of an after lunch delight for me, I enjoy taking my time, and 90% of the time, we're just two, so manual sounds like a good option to me since I'll get more out of it for my buck (seemingly). But you totally make sense and I'm pretty sure I'll get an electric one later!

    Hi,

    I've been using a blade grinder for years and just recently realized how badly it affected the brew (took me a while, please don't hate haha).

    So I started looking for a better alternative, with burrs, and from what I gathered, a good manual grinder will beat any fancy electric one, so I guess I'll be grinding my beans myself now.

    I still need your help picking the right grinder for me, so here is my situation :

    • I mostly use a moka pot and a dripper, and more rarely a French press, for lack of a proper espresso set up
    • I'm also an espresso guy but I will probably end up investing in a decent espresso set up sonif the grinder could manage all of these that'd be neat! (I haven't started benchmarking for a proper setup yet because enjoying a good ristretto from time to time is fine by me for bow, but any advice on a a machine that is not too pricey is welcome too!)
    • most of the time I grind approx 20g of beans
    • I buy my beans from a local roaster, in small quantities (by 250g), dunno if this is any relevant

    So far here is a list of grinders I've seen recommended on this sub :

    • 1ZPresso JX pro
    • Commandante c40 (but there are different burrs and I don't know which one I'd pick)
    • Capresso Infinity
    • Hario mini mill

    Haven't bern really checking the the last two though. There seem to be quite we difference in prices range, so I need your help picking the right model (and size?). I don't want to spend too much, but I'm okay for a little pricey one if it makes a great deal of difference and it'll last! Also I'm open to look for second hand grinders unless you thinks it's a bad idea ?

    Cheers and thank you for your help,

    Edit : kingrinder's P & K series are also seemingly a solid choice, if any of you guys have an opinion, I'm interested!
