Hi,
I'm new to this forum. Currently I'm using a cheap hand grinder from china for some manual brew (v60, aeropress, and mokapot). Right now I'm thinking to purchase a new budget grinder, for my manual brew needs, and also protecting for future use of espresso machine. I've seen Hario V60 Grinder, is it good? One of my local sites is starting preorder on this grinder. I want to get a nice (but affordable) grinder for my manual brew. I don't do espresso for now (not enough budget), so I want to focus on the grinder first as mentioned many many times on HB (many thanks guys).
My budget is very small. $150 and below. And I can't get ebay second hand/refurbish one as shipping would be too high (I lived in Indonesia).
Thank you for your information. So far it had helped bigtime for me...

I have a Hario Skerton for travel. I don't like it much. I may try the OE stability mod on it... but it will never be great.
Based on your price, I think the Porlex is your best and only bet:

http://europeancoffeetrip.com/testing-t ... es-part-2/
The Lido3 would of been my recommendation (I think it's worth buying once and doing it right). And if you can, save up a little longer. It will be worth it the end.
Happy grinding.

The Anonymous hand grinder is very good value, if you can get it in Indonesia.

Latina 600n, most likely a Feima 600n.

I could swore I have write a reply this morning. oh well. Rewriting all over again...
Anyway, I think I haven't made myself clear. Sorry for that. Right now I'm looking for an electric grinder. I have enough putting muscle grease for family gathering a few month back.
Right now I'm still using manual brew such as V60, Aeropress and Mokapot. But for future proofing I might go espresso as well.
I'm using those Anonymous Grinder I ordered from china for $10. And it has serve me very well..
Yesterday I even bought another one from J-CO Coffee for a mere $8.5.
I'm thinking going for that Hario V60 (but cannot find any reference for this grinder), Baratza Encore. Considering Baratza Preciso also but quite overbudged a bit
For Latina 600n I've seen it in a few small coffee shop, TBH I don't quite like the looks of it (very much looks like a meat grinder).
I almost fell for that Krups GVX2 if wasn't for review here in HB. Hahaha.
Thank you so much.

Beware of some Feima knockoffs, a fake 600N has a lot of fines and ground retention, you might want to take that into consideration. Personally the Lido 2 / Encore w/ Preciso burrs has the best quality-to-price ratio.
