My wife (and to a lesser extent, I) like coffee but don't have the money or counter space for a fancy electric burr grinder.
Hence, we have been wondering if there's a decent manual one that might shave some money off the price tag (by virtue of not needing a motor) that can compete with the $250+ electric models in terms of grind consistency and quality?
We drink very small portions of coffee at a time, and use a variety of preparation methods so output speed isn't that important but having high quality across different grind settings (and ability to change grind settings easily) would be important.
Amazon has a ton of highly rated grinders where some of the knowledgeable looking reviewers point out atrocious flaws, so I thought I'd ask the usually much more experienced and quality minded crowd here. Also, if you have a favorite kkf-like (in terms of knowledge and quality orientation) community but for coffee, please share so that I can read up on their boards
