    FWIW, the Aergrind takes a bit of beating for a compact travel grinder

    I’ll check it out a bit more but the fact it’s height it almost 20cm taller than every other hand grinder, it’s a lot bigger than the rest. I’m allowed to have my own opinion, I asked for suggestions and I appreciate them regardless if I like the grinder or not

    Very subjective overly quick dismissal there.
    Lido is no bigger in diameter than whats required to fit its burrs 48m conical.
    Length is about whats required to hold / fit with stationary hand.
    WHAT matters is grind quality. Micrometric stepless adjustment is good.
    Matches any quality Ive run in electric grinders from 83mm flat burrs Anfim / Mazzers down thru the conical varieties.
    Very acceptable manual backup for if/ when your espresso grinder is down.
    Out travelling / holidaying I dont lose any coffee quality though a lesser grinder / stale coffee.
    Matched with a Bellman esprsso pot (or Presso) its superb.
    Note: My reference is a to Lido 2

    The fatter one might be easier to hold onto. Not sure of posters ages, but arthritic hands and light roast beans/ espresso grind, would be very difficult.
    I have a lidoE as well, but it's too big for my travel to work. Find it easier to get the correct amount of beans with the precision (fill it up!)

    I purchased the larger 25g precision one from site sponsor Alternative Brewing ~$150. Yet I do like the smaller one as it fits inside one of the Aeropress models

    I'm still using the $120 precision grinder. Stainless burrs and small fits 18g beans in the top. Fits inside aeropress, so usual small size.
    I been using it for good 3yrs now, it must have had 8kg beans through it. Using it 1-2 times daily last 2yrs as my usual setup. It doesn't seem to have blunted as yet. And I run it in the region of espresso fine - 1.5 minute aeropress brew time. Can recommend. The outside timber finish is pretty chipped, and has a dent on the top rim from when I dropped it. Still good!

    1zpresso JX-Pro - the best value money: wide grinding range with fine adjustment - good from drip to espresso, 47mm burrs - grinds fast; good grinding quality - comparable to NZ. New costs around $260, pre-loved sells around $200.

    I just bought a Kingrinder K6 for giggles.
    $220 delivered sometime early this year.

    Looks okay, but looks very bulky in comparison to what I currently have. Sure the handle folds in but it’s very tall. And 70g hopper is definitely not necessary for my needs at all which I assume a lot of the space is made to accomodate this also. Thanks for the suggestion but I will give the lido a miss

    Can't go past Lido ET grinder. Roughly 279 to 299 but it is a great unit

    Manual grinder for travelling?

    I currently own a rhino wares compact ceramic burr hand grinder, and it just seems to lack adjustability, consistency and speed. It’s definitely more than 3 or so years old, and there’s a lot more options available these days! What are some good travel/camp friendly manual grinders, that is suitable to aeropress and nanopresso brews. Ideally I’d like to stick fairly budget wise as I won’t use it too often, but I enjoy coffee enough to have something that will last and be worth while. Something under $250 I think would be a good budget to stick at. I mean, im happy for any option, whether it’s cheaper or whether its at the higher price point of the $250. Please throw any suggestions my way!
