Hi,

I’ve been using a blade grinder for years and just recently realized how badly it affected the brew (took me a while, please don’t hate haha).

So I started looking for a better alternative, with burrs, and from what I gathered, a good manual grinder will beat any fancy electric one, so I guess I’ll be grinding my beans myself now.

I still need your help picking the right grinder for me, so here is my situation :

• I mostly use a moka pot and a dripper, and more rarely a French press, for lack of a proper espresso set up
• I’m also an espresso guy but I will probably end up investing in a decent espresso set up sonif the grinder could manage all of these that’d be neat! (I haven’t started benchmarking for a proper setup yet because enjoying a good ristretto from time to time is fine by me for bow, but any advice on a a machine that is not too pricey is welcome too!)
• most of the time I grind approx 20g of beans
• I buy my beans from a local roaster, in small quantities (by 250g), dunno if this is any relevant

So far here is a list of grinders I’ve seen recommended on this sub :

• 1ZPresso JX pro
• Commandante c40 (but there are different burrs and I don’t know which one I’d pick)
• Capresso Infinity
• Hario mini mill

Haven’t bern really checking the the last two though. There seem to be quite we difference in prices range, so I need your help picking the right model (and size?). I don’t want to spend too much, but I’m okay for a little pricey one if it makes a great deal of difference and it’ll last! Also I’m open to look for second hand grinders unless you thinks it’s a bad idea ?

Cheers and thank you for your help,

Edit : kingrinder’s P & K series are also seemingly a solid choice, if any of you guys have an opinion, I’m interested!
