Inexpensive burr grinder that doesn't make a mess?

[StogieJim]

Hey Guys,

Looking for a burr grinder ( i love my french press) that doesn't make a mess all over your countertop.
I had a burr grinder a couple years ago, made a friggin mess every time i used it so I just buy pre ground coffee now. I've been missing my french press but I'll need a grinder again.

Anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks!

my suggestion would be to not get a cheap burr grinder.

I will look to see which one I have but I think I paid around a hundred for it. (that's still cheap compared to really good ones but it's decent)

Is it bad if I just buy a half pound of beans and have the shop grind it for french press? How long until those beans go bad/lose flavor?

Sorry didn't see the inexpensive part of thread.

THis is what i've been doing as almost all of my belongings are in storage right now. I've been using it mainly for cold press and i go through a ton so i have not noticed any flavor loss.

Love it! Don't know if they make it anymore, but it's lasted me about 4 years and it's still going strong.

Looks like they don't make it, but that's a good looking grinder!

Hmmm might have to grab that at under 40 bucks then. that's 2 recommendations so far on that one

I've been using the Cuisinart DBM-8 ($50.00) for espresso for a couple years. Give the reservoir a tap on the counter before opening, and it's relatively clean. (Barely) fine enough for my use.

not cheap, but I have always heard people recommend this one, http://www.amazon.com/Baratza-Encore-Conical-Coffee-Grinder/dp/B00LW8122Y/

for a little less, I have been recommended (and own) this one, but have been told that it isn't the best to use for real espresso, http://www.amazon.com/Capresso-560-01-Infinity-Grinder-Black/dp/B0000AR7SY/

Some good stuff to consider here. Thanks a bunch!
I'm mainly looking to do cone filter grind and cold brew grind.

Would that 40 dollar bad boy do the trick? I won't be making espresso any time soon. Not enough counter space to even consider getting a set up.

Thanks!
