      Snowy, it's nothing special at all. A breville that I bought a couple years back when I didn't consider things as much. But it sticks around as it is fairly easy to clean, gives a fairly consistent grind and isn't plagued by static buildup like many other lowish priced electrics.

        I have a Barazta that I like, a conical electric burr grinder, but it has stainless and not ceramic burrs.

        Think it, be it.

          Okay gents, on the RMC mugs, from the Coffee thread…....

          @Snowy:

          So I picked up a Real McCoy's mug, it's nice/good, but it's not The Real McCoy in this case. Comparing against a Four Barrel (SF Coffee ~3 blocks from SelfEdge - Kiya's Fav 😉 ) the construction is totally different. The Four Barrel mug is the style of mug I got in most good coffee shops state-side, even some good diners.

          @Snowy:

          @veloaudio:

          A quick Rakuten search and I found the Navy version for $25

          21 USD
          http://item.rakuten.co.jp/vintage/mn8002/

          You're right, my bad, bit more than $10, my dodgy memory 😛

                                  Which hand grinders have all ya'll picked up in the last 6-9 months or so? Do Knock's Hausgrind get up? Is Lido 2 all the rage? Did something smash them both up? Always filter beans, of course.

                                  I'm averaging a hand grinder every 1.5 years, with a RRP of between $30-60, so if it's $200-300 it's going to have to last at least a few years and or be more consistent with the grind….

                                  Purchased the Lido 2 today after reading MANY reviews on the extremely bad customer service by Knock. A lot of people are having to start paypal disputes to get a reply to their e-mail, and often then it's still hit or miss if it'll ship or a refund.

                                    Lido looks nice. Might get one of those if mine ever stops working.

                                    Just came across this beauty. V60 in Copper. Kettle is nice too but I use an electric one. Def need to get one.

                                      I'll let you know how it goes and compare against the Hario I've got at the mo. I figured $300AUD isn't too much to spend on something I'll used daily considering I drop more than that on clothing I wear once a week.

                                      Love those copper V60's.

                                      Does anyone here do the Wave? Not that I'm looking @ changing methods for at least another year, however, haven't heard of 'real' people using it..

                                        I just use a Porlex hand grinder, but to be honest, every couple of weeks when I "re-up" I tend to ask them to just grind the beans for me :S

                                        Tempted by a Baratza but I drink more in work so the having the ground done by the supplier is a lot easier… Maybe if I ever work from home I'd get one.
