Bobbo_SA Posted October 9, 2015 Posted October 9, 2015 How much are those koldserv "EK" Koldserve have some Chinese grinders that should be ok for this - looks like an ek43 sort of... economical too. Ping Doc.... Would also be interested on a very limited budget...
jimmycool Posted October 9, 2015 Posted October 9, 2015 I recently picked up a Spong no1 hand grinder like this one for 100 bucks. Results so far are rather good.https://encrypted-tbn1.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTSD21dMG8TR8mgPxlFOhrEu6EVhg03nTX3rtInIkN-mocPzTWVXlKakITUng

SAGecko Posted October 9, 2015 Posted October 9, 2015 I have some slightly older stock (2013/14) Ascaso Steel V2 Duo Profs and Uno Profs in my warehouse. Packaging is slightly damaged but otherwise perfect. PM me if you're interested.

V12man Posted October 9, 2015 Posted October 9, 2015 Ping Doc.... Would also be interested on a very limited budget...Schmeul from Jozi Blue posted a pic - i have never seen one in the flesh - George from Koldserve says they are R990 - called the slow pour ginder - not suitable for espresso but good for pour over and drip and ok for Aeropress.
Beesrib Posted October 13, 2015 Posted October 13, 2015 Hi, How is the hand grinder that comes with the aeropress as sold on capecoffee? http://capecoffeebeans.co.za/collections/coffee-making-equipment/products/aeropress-travel-bundle-with-porlex-coffee-grinder?variant=861199997 is it a OK combo, or should I rather buy aeropress separate and look for another grinder? I like the compact option of fitting the grinder inside the aero for travelling. Ta
Bobbo_SA Posted October 13, 2015 Posted October 13, 2015 Anyone have one of these? http://www.dionwired.co.za/krups-burr-coffee-grinder.html
Bobbo_SA Posted October 13, 2015 Posted October 13, 2015 Anyone ever read stuff that they post on their websites, how many contradictions and swapped terms can you spot: "It takes a little bit longer to grind coffee beans with an electric grinder than with a blade grinder, but the time difference is minimal. Many people prefer electric models because blade grinders don’t produce consistently sized coffee grounds.The process of grinding with a burr coffee bean grinder also generates heat, which can damage the beans and have a negative impact on flavor. This is not a problem with electric coffee grinders."

Steel burs will be quicker, and maybe a bit more consistent in terms of coarseness, but the ceramic certainly isn't bad. Probably the difference between good very good. Beesrib 1
