my hand grinder is a burr grinder, well at least that's what it was sold as
If your response was directed at my comment, to be clear, I wasn't saying that hand grinders cannot be burr grinders, I was saying that hand grinders are a PITA. I know, I had one, which is why I now have an electric one 24 seconds to grind a 17g dose
(btw, all hand grinders are burr grinders - it'd be a bit challenging to make a hand-powered spinny blade grinder...)

If I had that sort of money to drop on a grinder, I would actually consider one - it's much more suited to home use than the usual small commercial grinders, and I suspect it would do a better job. However, I don't have anything like that kind of money to drop on a grinder...
Jeez, I was looking at the Porlex, either the regular or the mini. A damn sight cheaper than that thing! The link to the machine was just a bit of daft man maths thinking. Given that I drink at most a couple of mugs a day all topped with a good glug of milk it makes no sense to buy a machine.
Is there much of a taste difference between coffee made in the aeropress vs a french press? Using my backup french press at the moment and I'm getting addicted to Taylors Lazy Sunday!

$948. For a grinder. I do admit it's a lovely bit of kit, but you're paying for the design of the grinder, not the quality of the grind it produces.
Once you get above the $4-500 range, any improvements in grind quality would be very, very marginal. LordGrover said:
that's one for the "these pictures will make your teeth itch" thread. Can tell it's hand-built.cqueen said:
I have the Hario, build quality not an issue imo.
Is this the one you have? My concerns are with it having a glass base. It will be used and kept in the office kitchen where I have already dropped and broken a french press! Saying that if I dropped any ceramic grinder I would probably break the burrs too.I had a look at the mini but from what I've read the plastic retaining nut for the handle cracks over time.
I have just bought one of these, that I'm very happy with:

Currys had it up at £400 a couple of weeks ago, then the price jumped up by £200 overnight. I did find it for £400 in Tesco Direct though. Excellent bit of kit.
