As above really.

Looking for a reasonably priced (sub £60) burr grinder to grind beans for a cafetiere.

My old grinder's just about given up the ghost.

Suggestions please?

Cheers

I got a Fracino Model B for about that on Ebay a while back. It's a properly solid bit of kit, easily the match of grinders five times that price.

you might get a Kitchen Aid for that on ebay if you collect, would require some patience for the right one to crop up.

I can't speak to other brands myself, but I love my kitchen aid enough to have implemented a regular cleaning routine to maximise its lifespan... (unlike me, to qualify the significance)

Is that a bit like marital aid.....?

I've had a KitchenAid Burr Grinder for 6odd years, used daily and i estimate it's ground it's way through 100kg + of beans at 300-400g of beans per week, reliable, extremely well built and very - very easy to take apart to clean the inside but i think you'll be hard pushed to find one on ebay for less than £100.

I doubt you'll find a burr grinder for £60 or less, there was a manual wind one i noticed on one site but i can't remember where? - check out the [url= http://coffeegeek.com/ ]CoffeeGeek forum[/url] for advice

He will if he's willing to wait, I'm looking for a friend (and hoping the OP's not near Yorkshire), seen them go unbidded at £50 60 and 85 in the south and Scotland... which is insane!
