Looking for a durable and reliable hand grinder fir $50 or less

[JKaboom]

Hi all,

I strictly french press so a grinder doesn't need to be anything special. What are your suggestions for a durable and reliable hand grinder for $50 or less?

IMO the coarser the grind, the more demanding it will be on grinder uniformity. I'd recommend you up the budget to $65 and get a Timemore C2. One of the cheapest hand grinders and will get you 90%+ the performance of even the most expensive options.

I just got this one: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09GV59M4L?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details

for French Press also.

I did buy a Timemore digital scale and that has helped as well. The 0.01 gram resolution is a lifesaver.

I'm sure their C2 grinder is also good.

Thank you guys
I can up the budget a little. Now I'm going obsess about, get one and enjoy the heck out of it!

The Hario Mini (a.k.a., Slim) has served me very well for many years for French Press. I "upgraded" to the Skerton with the modification, but I didn't find that really any better than the Mini.

They now have a "Mini Slim Plus" that purports to be more ergonomic. I never had much of a problem with the original form (especially since I'm only grinding for a short time), but I suppose any improvement is good. If I were to buy a new one, this is likely what I would go with.

Either fits your budget.

I agree with others. If your on a limited budget, and you want to get something decent, but not go deep diving into the rabbit hole like I did, I think the Timemore C2 would be your best bet

Good luck.

PS: When your new grinder shows up, I wanna see some pictures so I may drool at your new coffee gear, I love pics!
