There is a large user-review database of grinders at http://coffeegeek.com/reviews/grinders. It is helpful if you are patient.
thanks for the reply..

I do have another question my "espresso maker" is a bit quick when it comes to pulling a shot. It takes about 5 to 6 secs for the pressure to build and coffee starts to come out... and it takes about 23 secs to pull shot but I just dont get the volume of crema in my shots.. I do have to say that I dont have a grinder yet so I use, dare I say it.. store bought and store ground beans..
