I've been enjoying the Bodum Bistro Grinder.

I have been using the Cuisinart Supreme grind with no problems except for a static problem in the collection container (minor annoyance).. It has conical burrs and gets daily use and was less than $50.00 at the grocery store. But I use a Bunn coffee maker and at times a percolator so I am pretty easy to please. No French press so I don't know if it would produce the grind you want or need.

Go for a Baratza refurbished grinder. Decent conical burr set & a 6 month "same as new" warranty.

I recommend either the "Barista" or "Encore" models. They're the same unit, so if you don't mind the silver color you can save a few dollars with the Barista.

That is the exact matches for my uses, press and Bialetti. The Capresso goes easily from coarse to fine. It does not produce the uniformity a pricier grinder like a Macap or a Mazzer would deliver, but it is way better than a blade IMHO. Plus a lot cheaper.

I use a press, bialetti, or vac pot myself. It works great for all three.

if you don't want to pop for $200 for a fancy grinder, I like the Cuisinart blade style. The cup is larger than the normal small mills, and there is no static charge to the ground coffee so cleanup is easy! No more messy countertop. Grinds evenly and consistently. Bought it from eCost (it was a return because of a small dent in the metal base housing) for about $15. They retail at BB&B for about $30.

I got one of these a few weeks ago and I am totally satisfied.

I love my new Capresso burr grinder. It is certainly superior to my old blade grinder. I use the blade for spices now.

The Capresso is not a top of the line grinder, but I wasn't willing to pay more than $85-90. It has received very good reviews though.
