Vario vs. hand grinders

Hi,

We have a Vario (steel burrs) which we use for brewed coffee (V60, Chemex and syphon). However, I've been wondering whether we might get better results with a decent hand grinder? I have looked at the Lido 2, and the Made by Knock Feldgrind and Hausgrind (although reports of their customer service and not knowing when more stock will be available put me off a bit).

I'd be grateful for any thoughts!

Nick.

I wouldn't look past my hausgrind for all my coffee needs, which are exclusively brewed.

But... The weekend technivorm basket does wind me up when I need 75g and have to grind twice to get it. It is then I need electric for laziness and ease.

But it not because the hand grinder isn't up to it. The hands on approach of the grinder is fun, but I am not sure I would get one if I had a Vario already. It would be for he sake of it rather than as an UPGRADE.

Nice to have, but no need.
