My buddy insisted I buy a burr grinder, and also insisted I not buy it new since they are commonly available at thrift stores. So, I spent a whole afternoon visiting every thrift store in Vancouver, and finally found one for $6.
In theory, the burr grinder will deliver consistency in the grind.
I like the idea of hand grinders except they take ages to produce a paltry amount of coffee grounds. Figured I would just buy a battery powered version of that which will "hand grind" coffee in seconds with low noise. They don't exist.
So, I can either wake up the house with the jet engine and messy burr grinder I have, or maybe I just grind the night before and consider that to be fresh enough.
The burr grinder is insanely messy though.
