  • If you're only grinding for filter/press just get a cheapo electric one with variable grind settings. You only need a very fine grind (which you get from hand grinders and more expensive electric grinders) for espresso machines. Grinding by hand doesn't seem that bad at first, but give it a couple of months of doing it 2-3 times a day and you'll be gagging for tea.

    Also - dear thread - if you're asking what entry level machine around £200 is worth the money, the answer is always Gaggia classic.

  • I've been hand grinding 2-3 times a day for over ten years now using the Zassenhaus pictured in my avatar. I'm no a-lister but it hasn't been a problem for me and my moka pots.
    I tried a Hario at my sister's place and found it much less smooth and took more time than my turkish-style unit.
