Coffee grinder

    I recently purchased an Aeropress and a hand grinder. Really impressed at how this method has improved the taste of coffee. Problem is the hand grinder is a pain in the ass. So I want to buy an electric one. Is this one any good? Anyone have any experience with it. I don't want to spend too much so this is in my current price range. I could go a little bit more if anyone has any other suggestions

    I've heard the Krups GVX is fine as long as you're not looking for espresso grinds - apparently it doesn't do that level of fineness as well.

    It's a bit hacky, but depending on your hand grinder, you can temporarily 'electrify' it by using a cordless drill on the top nut!

    Almost any grinder will do fine for Aeropress , go for Krups IMO , otherwise you have to spend 3 times more.

    Should be ok but far from perfect. I like to go quite fine for aeropress but it may be ok, the grind may be a little inconsistent but it should be manageable as the aeropress will be a lot more forgiving than espresso.

    If you plan to get an espresso machine eventually it may be wise to invest a bit more in your grinder, if not this may suit your needs.
