Youll have to Google it because... well, Coffee Snobs has sponsors. You can get these things from a simple homeware/kitchenware shop. Its small and has a nice, solid conical burr - only $40! Must be one of the cheapest (but decent) setups ever, $40 grinder, $20 Bodum french press... Oh yes, and the grinder doubles as an excercise machine for building arm muscle :P
Go an Italian Trespade, about $120, will last a lifetime. There is one called a Barracetta (spelling??) too which has a ceramic burr that is supposed to be good and probably cheaper. Good hand grinders arent easy to find. There is another thread that refers to it....
Lol, nice, solid, conical, maybe not that sharp though :P One of the roasters at a roastery in Brisbane said it would produce a grind as good as a rock/ibertal, but would just require more effort. It was the only hand gridner they had in stock. Seems to produce a good, even grind. But yeah, the blades dont look that sharp. Perhaps the Trespade or Zass might have sharper burrs.
Still, what more could you expect from a $40 hand grinder.
