A good conical burr grinder is the most important machine you will ever buy for your coffee making. Buy the very best you can afford and figure about 300.00 or so gets you into the right class. It will last and perform as it should and without it, you can't get the most out of your beans or your brewing. To cheap on any other component if you must but if you love good coffee, get a really good grinder.
