I've got a Dualit burr grinder which does fine for my pour over. They are about £80 new, but you can get good used ones on ebay for about £40, which is how i picked mine up. Won't go fine enough for espresso, but pour over / french press it's ideal.

Nice one, thank you! Might just buy that one...

I tend to recommend that £40 Dualit to people who want to grind their own for anything other than espresso and who aren’t coffee dorks, just need a tool for the job. They’re perfectly adequate and a big step from pre-ground.

Coming back to this, very happy with mine, but have a question re quantity. The smallest portion setting on the grinder is '2' which I assume means two servings, but I'm just using all of that at once because it seems too little to split. Is this similar to your experience? Hopeful I'm not going through my coffee at double the suggested rate.
You're going to tell me to use scales aren't you?

I am certainly not a coffee expert and likely only have a couple a weekend when at home, but I've recently lived with a mate who had a small electric grinder and I appreciated the freshness of the grinds and the smell/sense of theatre. I would also like to move to grinding my own so I can keep whole beans in stock which should stay fresh for longer... what I am wondering is whether a cheaper grinder will be noticeably worse for me and I'd resent having bought it or entirely sufficient. I only really drink pour-over, I can't really tell the difference between different bean varieties etc, I'm an exceptionally undemanding consumer, I just want a nice cup every now and then. Any advice appreciated...
