DO NOT get the cheap Bodum burr grinder.
It grinds the beans to different, consistent sizes well enough, but the thing shits grounds all over my counter. I hate this fucking thing.
So glad to see someone recommend getting a cheapo Chinese steel one off Ali Express or some shit, tho, I'll try that. I don't wanna spend fuckin $200 on a coffee grinder, that's madness.
When I started looking for a manual grinder for travel, everyone’s just casually tossing around a Comandante mk4 and that thing is hundreds of dollars. I’m sure it’s great, but I’m not dropping that much on a grinder that’s going in a suitcase when I could buy fucking $200 in better coffee and a decent enough grinder.
I have a similar experience with the Bodum. Also, it’s not the best for cleaning. It was acceptable at grinding but messy.
The Kingrinder models are affordable but seem to be pretty good quality.
