Looking for a new/better coffee grinder than the one I have now(Black and Decker piece of crap). Can I get anything worthwhile in the $35 range?
Hmmmm...well thanks for the ideas gents. I wish I could spend more but it's just not in the budget.
I finally found a french press that appeals to me so that kind of spurred the coffee grinder question. However, all the presses recommend coarsely ground coffee. Now, am I correct in assuming most blade grinders(like the one I own) grind the coffee too fine? That just seems counter intuitive to me for some reason.
I have this one from Capresso. If it's a piece of crap, it has been a pretty darn good piece of crap for the last 3-4 years. I can't remember how much we spent, but I believe it was more than the $39 it is selling for now.
The plastic hopper cracked but it still holds the beans and it would take a lot of convincing to get me to spend any more than this on a grinder.
This is the grinder featured in my video...I do not know what retail is, I was able to purchase mine at wholesale...as you can see it works great for the price...
My understanding is that a blade grinder is inconsistent. The Zassenhaus manual grinder is adjustable and will meet your needs if you don't mind using a bit of elbow grease. You can read about them at Sweet Maria's dot com.
Tilden-
is that you in the vid? If so, good work. I am glad to see that you guys have at least a little downtime to enjoy yourselves. I did wonder though, what makes a hot drink like espresso seem like a good idea in the desert?
