Grebel Posted October 8, 2015 Share It does the job, but if I knew what I know now a few years ago, I would never have bought a ceramic burr hand grinder. When using a good steel burr hand grinder you save time, and the grind is more consistent. Paying a bit more now for a grinder that will last, and which you will keep on using for a long time is actually the cost effective solution. Trust me, I have been through this exercise.I agree, my hario, being a hario is great... would I buy one again? No.As far as hand grinders go, what would you recommend that won't bankrupt me?. My Krupps electric burr is creeping when I grind. I have contemplated opening it up and giving it a service but if it doesn't go back together.... I'll be needing a new one. Hand grinder seems like an option. Moka pot and aeropress mainly. My Delonghi doesn't have enough pressure for a proper espresso grind... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Delonghi doesn't have enough pressure for a proper espresso grind...After using my Madebyknock grinder for a few days, I can honestly only recommend a steel burr hand grinder. It takes about 25 seconds to grind 14g for a double espresso and the grind quality is very high. With a ceramic burr grinder you will take close to two minutes to grind 14g for espresso. It was about R2200 landed, which is expensive for a hand grinder but the ease of use and quality more than make up for it. This good old saying is applicable:"The bitterness of poor quality remains long after the sweetness of low price is forgotten." A vintage hand grinder like PeDe, Zassenhaus etc is also a good option, some of those can be found for under R500 and most of them have steel burrs of about 35mm diameter.
