anyone got any experience with this grinder? I have neither the finances nor the will to spend a small fortune on my grinder. I do however want the best I can get for the money i will spend. so with a budget of £100-130 are there any better or equal grinders i might look at as well as this Grarf? this one is £100 inc p&p as a new item, incidentally. I currently use an electrically powered Hario mini. the grind quality is top notch but it is a very slow way to grind. hence the move.

Hi, I'm new to the forum and would really welcome some advice. It's my husband's 40th Birthday coming up and I am going to get him a coffee machine as a suprise. He really loves the kitchenaid one (we have some of their other equipment) but having read some bad reviews I'm not sure it would be the best use of the money? He loves espresso but also enjoys latte/cappucino, so a machine that can do all would be good. I have a budget of £500-600 to spend on it, so would really welcome some advice and recommendations. Many thanks, The Doc.

Hi all, First post :-) I am looking for info on upgrading my grinder and at the moment my preferred choice is the wilfa grinder. I don't make espresso, so don't need a grinder capable of grinding that fine. I'll be using the grinder for grinding for v60 and aeropress. At the moment I use a porlex tall hand grinder and my reasons for upgrading are due to laziness and a more consistent particle size in equal proportions. Actually a more consistent grind size is more important for me. I've heard the burrs wobble or move in the porlex and I do notice particularly in the spent grinds from the v60 that there is different sized particles. My reasons for the wilfa are price and from the few reviews I've seen, really good results. I've not read anything bad about it to be honest. Does anybody have any advice on better options than the wilfa without spending too much more? Does anyone have any opinions on the wilfa grinder, either the old or new version? Thanks all in advance Moultram

I'm looking to get a grinder to use with my Gaggia Classic and I'm on a tight budget. I spotted the Graef CM 702 on a well known retailers site and there were a couple of positive reviews. Has anyone here tried it, will it grind sufficient for espresso?

Hi, I have just joined the forum. I am a home user that primarily makes espresso/flat whites with my La Pavoni Europiccola and regularly make filter with a Chemex. I'm told that a grinder will make a big difference to my espressos! Any suggestions would be gratefully received. I am looking to spend ideally £300-400 but my max is £500. Thanks in advance!
