Need advice choosing a Coffee Grinder

[mozami]

Im looking at upgrading my grinder and would appreciate any assistance in selecting a conical burr grinder from the following limited choices (in order of increasing prices):

• Severin Coffee Grinder, White/ Silver
• Graef CM702
• Dualit Burr Coffee Grinder
• Graef CM80 Coffee Grinder
• KitchenAid Artisan Burr Coffee Grinder

FYI:
I currently use a porlex mini hand grinder which i absolutely love but am getting tired of the manual grind. I also had a Morphy Richards "burr grinder" which wasn't as great.

I'd appreciate any advice or recommendations on the grinders listed above.

We got this one a few weeks ago, haven't had a problem and very easy to use.

More like 3rd world coffee snob problems, since many of the good grinders aren't available on our end of the world

Saw the same one earlier! Local branches don't seem to carry stock of this one so will phone their main office tomorrow and see if they can make a plan.

Yeah, I've bought from yuppiechef before - just not sure which ones are good... Would appreciate any feedback from anyone that has used one of them.

Thank you Satan. I should have added the link.

Of course this was before you knew the power of the dark side... the power of a proper grind.

Pretty much looking at the same range as the OP. Just wish we could get Baratza locally

Haha - what are you using at the moment?

I was looking.. Then saw the prices and decided to stick with my crappy grinder.

My Morphy Richards Meno grinder has a distinctly cone-ish shape (okay shallow but still) to its bits...
