I'm looking for a manual grinder (still) but feeling conflicted. I've been putting it off partly because my Sunbeam was still going despite intermittent clumping. But now the clumping has stopped but replaced with another issue: it has stopped grinding fine enough. Even on the finest setting the water flows through and the needle on my EM6910 barely moves into the light brown zone.
So, I have started reviewing reviews and the Hario seemed to get good reviews for an affordable grinder and met the aesthetics my wife would like.
However, it has ceramic burrs and I'm sure I read that steel burrs are better. And some grinders even advertise cast iron burrs.
So, would I be better placed to avoid the ceramic burrs? Or are the differences minimal in real life?
