  • Any recommendations for refurbed/'warehouse' equipment (grinders in particular)? I'm bored of hand grinding for my machine, but don't really have the funds for a new Encore/Svart. Are there other budget options out there?

    I'm only grinding for filter, never espresso, if that makes any difference in terms of finding something suitable.

  • Got a drill? Most hand-grinders have a hex or penta bit on top, hex fits neatly with a drill, penta bit adapters are pretty easy to find also.

    I spent a good few years using my Porlex & Rhino with a drill and was a nice middle-ground before taking the plunge with a proper motorised grinder.

  • What hand grinder do you have? Grinding with my timemore c2 (what @mmccarthy is talking about above) is a world apart from my old hario slim. Much faster and nicer to use for only £40 from AliExpress. I have a Mazzer Super Jolly that I bought off here for espresso, and just hand grind for filter as it’s a pain to mess around with the grind setting.
