Thanks guys! I am guessing I should stay away from this one?

I love my Capresso, worth the extra $$ in my opinion.

I just bought that lol. $25 for a low-end burr grinder is awesome; can't be worse than my whirley.

Let us know how it works. I am thinking the Capresso for $89 is in the ballpark. I only make a mokapot or three on the weekends, so it would be a bit silly to shell out several hundred dollars on a grinder. I figure there has to be something better than my whirly and I have been looking at that Cuisinart as well.

The Capresso is a slick little machine. Very little static. I still need to fine tune the grind selection...first one today was too coarse. Tomorrow's will be better

WTG CG, I have noticed zero static since I started using it on beans I roasted myself. I am not sure why but I am happy do be without the little mess. I have been using the high end of "Fine" on my grinder for the Mokapot. The little booklet gives a little reference chart for types of brewing devices.

I used a very fine grind on my last machine because it was stuck there-and I think it made a strong brew which Lynn liked. I followed the books directions for a drip pot and set it on a high medium setting-but I compared the two this a.m. and the high medium was very coarse. Tomorrow we will try a fine setting and see how we do.

All in all, high praise for mokapots.

How is the dust/fine accumulation with a press? Not problematic?
