[James Hoffmann] The Best Espresso Grinder Under £500

11 comments

I got the Mignon Chrono a couple of months ago. Replaced and aligned the burrs with espresso, and have been having excellent results.
Over even £100 for a grinder is insane
- For use with a Mr coffee drip machine, sure. When used with a $3k espresso machine, sensible.
  
  A grinder is a pretty simple piece of equipment though, the high pricetags many go for is honstly unjustified IMO. A grinder has been a solved problem for a long time. You don't need to invent anything new to make a great grinder and there's no artisinal skill involved in making a good one either.
  
  What a pompous thing to say. Is this community chuck fulla nuts like you?
