Recommend me a good coffee grinder please...

[Mr Pies]

I'm not sure what a good one can cost so say up to £80?
I'm guessing grinding my own beans will yield me more coffee than buying it pre ground? Plus it should taste even better?

TIA.

It won't change the yield much, but you should certainly notice the improvement in quality. You want a burr grinder rather than a "chopper" so something like this is ideal for your budget http://www.johnlewis.com/dualit-burr-coffee-grinde...

I have used one for several years. They are well built and very effective. Buy decent beans form the likes of http://www.monmouthcoffee.co.uk/ or http://www.hasbean.co.uk/ and grind them fresh to the right fineness for the method you use to make the coffee and you won't believe the difference from pre ground.

I have a Dualit toaster and am very impressed with the quality of it, I'd imagine that grinder would be similar.
