... it's excellent! Not made for making large amounts of coffee but that's not what you need when you make turkish coffee anyway, you need just enough and very freshly roasted, right? This thing does that in a matter of seconds.

This is the exact kind. Lovely little thing, but when you see the price tag you wanna cry.

Ohh, it is lovely ....... I can but imagine the price for something to well built that is capable of grinding so finely.

It's a Zassenhaus ZH175M Turkish grinder - anothercoffee do them in the UK for £68.50.

Congratulations, Terje! I have it too, and I really like it. Haven't found a cezve yet, instead I use it for moka and as a backup espresso grinder. It works for both, and I loved it as a travel grinder this summer. Grinding more than two batches in a row becomes tiresome, but then one batch is more than enough for a small Brikka. For people that want pics, there are a couple more in the old Zass 175 thread.
Mine is coated with some kind of lacquer which has started to come off after its travelling bag life this summer. Next time I will make some kind of soft bag or something for it.

Yeah, it really looks like it's gonna work well as a travel grinder. I think I'll bring mine to Sri Lanka soon.

Sri Lanka! Yet another place with an interesting coffee history.
