I have one of these Kitchen Aid Pro grinders and like it a lot. It grinds
uniformly as you want. It's expensive. I got it at Costco for under $100.
http://www.amazon.com/KitchenAid-Cof...9673346&sr=1-4

On that same Amazon page there is also reference to a Capresso burr grinder.
I know this is a respected burr grinder. I don't know anything more than
that. The other grinder in the "burr" category is the Baratza Coffee
Grinder you're asking about.

All of these are a step above the conical grinder in a Cuisinart product.
I've had two of them self wear the grinding wheel out. They are available at
a very good price at Costco. Depending on your needs and price limitation[s]
that is a decent choice. It doesn't don't give you the uniform grind you
ideally want. It is much better than the "whirr" grinders.

Good Luck

Kent

It's a good unit Lily though you can get a workable one for far less if you
shop about. It won't be the same quality at 19.99 of course!

I have the simple version. Braun I think? I actually have 3 of them. 1
does just coffee, one does aromatic herbs and the other does harder spices
(star anise, cardamom). Black pepper has it's own table top manual grinder.

I also have 2 meat grinders. One is an old manual unit (useful for small
amounts still) and the other is a heavy duty Tasin used to make sausages and
grind raw meaty bones ('RMB' for Dogs) (chicken necks and backbones, legs,
wings, bone in breast, bone in leg quarters etc).

We took to making all our own ground beef some time back after one too many
scares with recalls.

Ask in the alt.coffee newsgroup for authoritative recommendations in
any given price range. You probably won't find any useful information
concerning making coffee in this newsgroup.

Also, www.wholelattelove.com has a good section on grinders, with
reviews of each one.
