Quick Burr grinder question

[jjirons69]

The Capresso and does the same thing as yours, Scott. However, the ground in inconsistent and the finely ground dust is extremely staticy (sp) and falls all over the counter and in the sink no matter how careful you are. It's just a messy bastig! Plus, there is that dust in the grind that makes a fine slug in the pot (which my wife hates). I was thinking maybe the manual grind would be more consistent and since it wasn't at such a high speed, the static wouldn't be generated. Here's a look at my current grinder.

The pretty picture with the non-static coffee is total BS, too. With that much grinding, there would be a clouded mess in the catch container.

Here is what I just received today to use instead. I roast my own beans and use cold brew about 65% of the time, french press 34% of the time, and will probably make some in the Keurig for the remaining 1%. I used the coarsest setting on there and I'm a little anxious to see how well it filters in the cold brew in the morning as even the coarsest grind is perhaps a little smaller than I hoped for.

I went ahead and jumped on it. I got the Hario Skerton. I'll use it for a few weeks and let everyone know how it goes. Seems to be a solid instrument that's good at doing what it was designed for. It's mainly my wife and myself having morning or weekend brew, so a small, consistent unit is exactly what we're looking for.

for the cost of that grinder it does very well, I've had that one and the smaller one with the lid ( to which I use more often ) and they both perform very well, consistent grind. Only draw back in the time it takes to actually grind your coffee manually.

My personal rating of the above grinder is an 8/10 and if they would make rubberized grip around where you connect it to the jar to get a better grip, I would give it a 9.
