Here's a good guide on moifying it slightly so that it grinds much finer. I did this and it made a big difference.

I still use the Dualit for those. </p> http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/coffee-grinder#post-2866056 Tue, 16 Aug 2011 10:36:21 +0000 deadlydarcy 2866056@http://singletrackworld.com/forum/ <p>I have a leprechaun at the bottom of the garden who's convinced I've got his pot of gold in the loft. His job every every day is to eat coffee beans and shit them out the other end, then grind them by hand using hand selected granite from off the Atlantic coast of Ireland. It's actually lovely coffee but everyday, I take a sip, and shake my head at him to signify that it's not quite good enough yet. Poor bugger - and I don't even have his bloody gold. </p> http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/coffee-grinder#post-2865946 Tue, 16 Aug 2011 10:03:47 +0000 ransos 2865946@http://singletrackworld.com/forum/ <p>I use a Dualit for my Gaggia.

Iberital MC2 <a href="http://www.happydonkey.co.uk/hd0866-iberital-mc2-auto.html">from Happy Donkey</a></p> <p>It grinds and dispenses straight into the filter holder, so you don't have any going stale, or over the worktop.</p> <p>Mrs BigJohn likes hers a little weaker than me so I set the dispense so it's 2 grinds for her and 3 for me. The grind settings can make it as fine or as coarse as you like. You tend to alter this with different beans which tend to grind differently. </p> <p>A 100% improvement over pre-ground, and absolutely no faff or drawbacks.</p> <p>£137 plus postage, and their own beans are rather good too.</p> <p>And the machine I use is a Gaggia Classic. </p> http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/coffee-grinder#post-2865834 Tue, 16 Aug 2011 09:35:54 +0000 JonEdwards 2865834@http://singletrackworld.com/forum/ <p>I picked up a Mazzer Super Jolly from Ebay. Ditch the hopper and put the beans straight in the top.</p> <p>I've also had:-<br /> Dualit(also *$ rebranded) - pretty damn good for filter/stovetop (with a bit of tweaking), not up to proper espresso machines.</p> <p>Isomac Granmacino. Great little machine - dispenses straight into the portafilter, but the grind adjustment is stepped, and each step is too big an adjustment. The mazzer is not actually much better given it's 3 times the size, but it does have stepless adjustment.</p> <p>Used with a Gaggia Classic, although I'm looking to upgrade that soon(ish).</p> <p>The grinder is WAY more important than the machine for making good coffee. Has to be burr based. The blade ones just mash the beans, and all too often overheat them too. </p> http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/coffee-grinder#post-2865085 Mon, 15 Aug 2011 22:12:38 +0000 iDave 2865085@http://singletrackworld.com/forum/ <p>I had a fantastic wall mounted, hand cranked burr grinder given to me by my Mum, now languishing in an ex's shed in Harrogate but the need for the grinder is not as great as the need to avoid contact with her.

No problem getting a fine enough grind with it. If you've got cash burning a hole in the pocket though plenty of people recommend spending a bit on the grinder. Rancilio Rocky is one that I've heard is good? </p>
