I'd like to get a grinder for the girlfriend. She has a Rancilio Silva machine (sp?), but is currently using preground coffee, which I understand will produce an inferior cup.
Criteria:
- something small (space is at a premium in our kitchen)
- idiot proof (not calling the lady names, but I think we would like something that can be set to grind to a specific size without watching it)
- reasonably priced (I'm not sure what this means yet. She has a good machine, so I dont want the grinder to be the weak link, but we are not coffee freaks so I dont need some artisnal hammered brass contraption. Lets define it as "good value".)
In a couple of threads people have mentioned the Infinity Conical Burr Grinder. Where is this placed on the heirarchy of grinders? What are alternatives?
Thanks in advance,
K
