Search for grinder for French press and syphon/vacuum pot
Posted: Mon Jun 22, 2009 9:35 pm
Destroyed my Starbuck Barista trying to replace the burrs. The replacement Barista/Solis 166/Dualit is set for espresso and the grind is vergeing on too fine even for syphon (at the coarsest setting).
The Vario has mixed reviews especially for the much touted ability to grind for French press ie. not really an improvement over the Solis.
Never been a fan of the Rocky-won't buy a grinder that needs to be modified with Teflon tape straight out of the box.
The only 2 grinders I like the sound of are the Ditting KF804 and the Mahlkoenig Guatemala, both of which are waaay out of my price range.
Suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I did wonder about a Macap MC4 "bag" grinder although that also seems to be sold mainly as an espresso grinder. Anyone with any thoughts on this?
