Coffee Grinders???

[shilala]

Greg, I have a weed whacker like Jamie has. At a time I used it daily, now I seldom use it, but only because I seldom grind beans.
Mine is a different brand and a little differnt shape, but essentially the same. It has the same shortcomings as Jamie's, but I've always been pleased enough with it.
It's inexpensive enough to give it a shot, $46.50 at Amazon, free shipping.
I'm thinking it was closer to $60.00 when I bought mine. I bought one for Todd (revsmoke) awhile back, I believe we traded cigars or something. You might ask him what he thinks?

Same machine I have here at the office for french presses, cheap and does the job but not close to as good as the more expensive units. I would prefer this machine make a more coarse grind though. It creates tons of that sludge dust too but it is 100 times better than my old blade grinder.

I love it! Been using it daily since that trade/gift/whatever it was. I don't know how it would hold up to doing a pound a day, but we do 10 cup grinds every day and it has been wonderful.

Peace of the Lord be with you.

I've had a Baratza for several years and just love the thing. Grinds nice and course for french press or as fine as you want for espresso. We got the Virtuoso; a bit pricey, but it works flawlessly..:

Found out that you can often buy refurbished grinders direct from Baratza. None currently on the page, might give them a call and see when they expect to have some more. That's what I'd do if I were in the market today..:
