something below $100? or I can go above
find a good hand grinder. nothing really to go wrong on them especially if you get a sturdy metal one. ive had plastic ones break when dropped. still works fine tho.
I love my 1zpresso grinder. Great value for the price.
The only thing that beats my 1zpresso is my Pietro and that’s in a whole other price bracket. Highly recommend if you are into coffee though.
At that price point, you’re probably looking at a Chinese hand grinder. The good news is that these are actually really solid products. I have a hand grinder from Timemore that I’m more than happy with, and have been using for 4+ years without issues.
Chinese for less than $100? You should be able to get basically any hand grinder for less than that. Plus if you’re willing to do a little restoration, I see tons of them at antique stores in the US for like $20.
Of course you can get any hand grinder for less than that, but if you’re specifically looking to get a high-quality grind and want something that lasts for a long time, your options become more limited. This is where the Chinese brands come into play.
I picked up a handheld burr grinder maybe 20 years ago. Not even sure what I spent but I’m pretty sure it was under $50, no apparent brand.
