Was using a KitchenAid flat blade grinder for a while, but on Prime Day they had the Krups burr grinder on sale for around $50, so I grabbed it! Way more consistent.
Whole beans and a real grinder (Krups at my house) made my Mr. Coffee taste better than a $5.00 cup at the specialty shop. I have an undercounter filter to make sure my H2O is worthy, too.
I get the Krupps grinders cheap at goodwills. I have several, some spice profiles affect the flavors of others. Specifically I don’t like cinnamon or cloves in some combinations unless called for. I make a lot of Mexican foods and I want to have control of the flavors. Mostly just chilies, cumin and coriander in one and everything else in the other one. You can wipe out single one and then grind some rice in it to clear the “grinder”.
Know of a manual grinder that friend has had years, but dunno brand. Have used my Krupp electric for 40 years, and also regularly used for other things. Can use a French press,or reusable gold filter if you don't like paper filters. I do cold brew now, still need to filter, but no machine necessary and I prefer it cold when it's hot outside. Mortar and pestle sounds like a chore.

Great espresso value, but poor pour-over with stock burrs.
