COFFEE GRINDER

[bill2000]

Need some help from my fellow coffee addicts here. Was grinding some coffee this afternoon and my trusty grinder groaned and finally gave up the ghost.

Does anybody have a recommendation for a burr grinder? Looking for something that has a good grind capacity, widely adjustable grind and quieter than your basic Boeing 747.

We have a magic bullet grinder and it works fine. But it's just as loud as a 747 if not louder

I've had a Baratza Vario for 10 plus years, it works great...but I can't exactly say it's quiet. I recently called the company to see if it was time to change the burrs...they told me no, still had a couple of years to go.

I have used a Capresso conical burr grinder for the last 5 years or so. Not quiet by any means, but not horribly loud either. Makes grinding to a particular size easy and repeatable. Fairly expensive, but has held up well with zero mechanical issues.

I use this every morning. It helps me wake up to enjoy a cup. Even works when I am without power and the grind in infinitely adjustable. I don't think this model is available any longer, but if you can find one, they are great.

My mother bought one of those crank grinders back around 1959-60. She bought it at an auction and I was with her. I have it now.

Put that baby to use! Then there will be at least two in use and only maybe 60 mi. apart.
I bought this one as an antique about 40 some years ago. Got the bug to try it out about a decade ago and it has served me quite well ever since. It helps even moderate coffee taste pretty good, and the good stuff is excellent.

Ha! Don't think that'd work for me. First off, I'd never have the energy to crank it before my first cup. Even if did I'd worry for my fingers in a groggy condition. I'd be down to stumps before I even realized I was in trouble.

I've had my Capresso for many years. Works perfectly.
