Coffee bean grinder

[YahudaMoon]

Hi

Can anyone recommend me a coffee bean grinder thats not made from cheese ?

Im after something I could use in the jungle alfresco style so none electric
I just love the fresh smell and maybe it's me though pre ground coffee just dont smell the same after a few days being opened despite being kept in the fridge

Thanks

I got a Porlex Mini for Christmas and it seems fab so far and beautifully portable.
Used with an aeropress.

I was thinking about posting it on YACF funnily enough though it would have just turned into a long distance audax thread

That Porlex looks fantastic ! just the thing for my saddle bag on them long >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

The downside to fresh ground coffee is that you go into work knowing that you will not be getting a drink for the rest of the day that is anywhere near as nice as the one you had at breakfast time.

We use a Kitchenaid but it is not exactly portable

A simple Braun KSM-2 does as good a job as any and can do as little as one cup:

A blade "grinder" is a waste of time - you have no control over the fineness of the grind, and it's very easy to overprocess. Get a burr grinder. We swear by the basic Krups one.

(none of which helps the OP who wanted a manual grinder)

Got mine from a car boot sale.

+1 for the basic krups burr grinder. Been using one every day for the last year and it's excellent

That's why a Porlex Mini and an Aeropress (though you could als use a small caffitiere or filter paper) is a great combo, I got mine precisely to take to work and holidays etc.
Takes about 2 mins to grind 17g of beans.

How are we storing our unground beans at the office these days?
-and-
Are we roasting our own at home?

I got given one of these for Christmas. It really is a revelation.

(a) At the office I make do with crap
(b) Life's too short - Whittards do perfectly adequate coffee beans

Life's too short

Seems a bit like taking coals to Newcastle YM, you could just drink the local brew... [providing it's not hallucinogenic]

Damn you srw, me wanty now and my Birthday was over a week ago now
Looks brilliant!

Beanwise I'm using Union Revalation from Waitrose, which is great, but am open to suggestions. Tried Breakfast Bomb and Jailbreak from Hasbeans and they're yucky citrussy.
