Coffee grinder to use with an Aeropress

[v9]

Considering getting an Aeropress coffee maker. Any suggestions as to a grinder to use with it. Looking for the sweet spot in the cost/taste equation under approx £100. Thoughts welcome!

[Mr Pointy]

Manual or electric?

Open to either really.

I got a metal manual one of Amazon for £12 works well if slow. It’s probably 5mins grinding for a cup.

You could try watching this for some information - there are lots of videos in his channel:

If you travel with your aeropress, you could do a lot worse than the aergrind by knock.

It's a compact hand grinder that sits inside the aeropress when packed away. Grinds fairly well too I have one and the larger feld 47 for other home duties.

I know they are not cheap, but they do regularly sell. "seconds", I couldn't see anything wrong with mine, and they occasionally come up on ebay....

I have one of these:

Not very portable but does everything I need it to.

Thanks for the suggestions. Will have a look at them when I get a minute!

Freshly ground coffee is a lot nicer. For me its almost like the step up comparing ground with instant.

Here is a link to the one I've got https://www.amazon.co.uk/Stainless-Steel-Manual-Co...

For the money it does a good job. Has a ceramic grinding wheel so should last a while too.

Good to see it has the "adjustable adjustment" don't go for the "non-adjustable adjustment" whatever you do!

I confess I just use a spinning blade basher/grinder. It works and they are so simple that it has lasted years (no idea how old it is) I confess I mostly filter or French press my coffee, but I agree that freshly ground is a big step up from pre-ground.
