I've been interested in upgrading from ground coffee with a french press, to this with a grinder as the Aeropress is very affordable for what it does.
Only problem is I can't gauge what grinder to match with it, seems like grinders can cost hundreds of £/$/EuroDollars.
Hi, so I went from using an electric coffee/spice mill that gave wildly inconsistent results to a Hario Mini-Mill Plus and I'm very happy with it. This is a hand-wound ceramic burr grinder. I did a tonne of research before hand and one reason I picked this one is because having looked at some other options I couldn't at the time justify spending more than £100/$150 on the ones other people were recommending like the Baratza Encore, Timemore etc. I purchased the Hario as part of the V60 pour over kit for about £35 (actually cheaper than buying the grinder on it's own for some reason and meant I got an extra funnel and a bunch of filters). My experience with it so far is it is enjoyable to use, produces a great result for my stage in the coffee making journey, is light for travel-- if that's your thing-- and was way, WAY cheaper than other options. Granted my coffee habits have gone from instant freeze dried to jug machine to moka pot to Nanopresso to V60/Nanopresso, so the more experienced might have more objective info! Hope you find what you need.
