I'm downsizing houses and need to rethink my grinder situation.
Currently I have a Compak E10, and a Mazzer Mini.
I use the Mazzer to grind for pour over. I have that set up in my garage, because it's noisy and I use it early to get the morning pot going.
The Compak is for...
My roommate is using a $40 mr coffee BVMC-BMH23 for his pour over. I've convinced him to spend $100 on a better grinder. Are there any hand grinders for $100 that will do a better job than a Baratza Encore?

I'd just get a NZ except I want to go with flat burrs as I favor light roasts (and I know many arguments in that space both ways persist). You can get SJ's quite cheap used (looking at one for $300 now...
Has anyone ordered a Bravo tamper recently? I sent an email to the address that others in this site have ordered from, but I never got a response. So, I'm just curious if anyone else has tried recently.
