Posted Wed Oct 19, 2011, 8:13pm Subject: Best Grinder to Use with the AeroPress?
I use the AeroPress, and like it a lot. But the time has come for me to buy a grinder.
I'm looking at a few different grinders, and I was hoping to gather some feedback on what would be best/necessary for using with the Aeropress. Here's a few that I was looking at:
Bodum Bistro Electric Burr Coffee Grinder - $68 on Amazon Baratza G385 Black Maestro Plus Coffee Grinder - $139 on Amazon Baratza 585 Baratza Virtuoso Coffee Grinder - $199 on Amazon

I think any grinder that is consistent in the medium range will be just fine. I use a Baratza Maestro at home (you can by these refurbished directly from Baratza inexpensively) and a Hario Skerton at work. The Baratza wins out in the cup, but the Hario also goes along with me on camping trips so it is more versatile in my case.

+1 Yes, go to the Baratza website. For the Aeropress, Chemex, etc the maestro plus is plenty of grinder. I believe around $100 refurb. On occasion, a refurb might be a trade show grinder, but even the normal refurb comes with a warranty.
