I've become fascinated with James Hoffman's channel on all things coffee related - I have no desire to buy fancy coffee, grinders, coffee machines, kettles etc. and I'm perfectly happy with my cheap Sainsbury's coffee and a John Lewis machine that probably cost £60.

My most upsetting opinion on James is that he calls a $60 hand grinder an "entry level grinder", when you can buy an identical hand mill burr grinder for like $15

I use a Hario Skerton Pro (roughly $60 where I live), considered an okay starter choice, and it's absolutely an entry level grinder. I had to mod it quite a bit to get something resembling consistency. Where can you get something that grinds almost as not-bad as this for $15?

Which grinders with identical burr sets are you referring to?
