I have one almost identical but under a different name.

That type of grinder will NOT produce a fine powder, despite what the advertising says, it is ok for coarse or medium grind but that type of blade grinder cannot produce a fine grind, for that you need the type that uses ceramic grinding wheels.

If, as you say, you are using a cafetiere then you do not need a fine grind, medium grind is ideal.

The pressure type of coffee machines (the ones used in cafe's etc) does need a fine grind, in order to extract as much coffee flavour out of the beans.

When using a cafetiere, the strength of the coffee beans is more important, I try for a high strength rating of 5 or more if used to produce cappachino or latte style coffee, anything below that strength and you don't get a full flavour coffee – all my opinion of course, others may differ.

I did! Spong!

Something sold as a spice grinder or coffee and spice grinder should give a finer grind. Coffee is a personal thing but I gave up bothering with bean grinding or high strength variants or even long duration perculation etc. Currently quite happy with the rich flavour of Lidl Kenyan with a short stand time in cafetiere.. can always increase amount. It's economical is excellent IMO and the grind stays fresh so long as well folded over and a decent bulldog clip.

Even more kitchen space saved?

Mortar and Pestle?

I've had a Nemox Lux for several years, which I picked up cheaply off eBay as it was an unbranded machine. Same factory, but no brand name on it; I'd highly recommend one, but the footprint might be a bit large, as well as the price.
I've just been looking for an advert, but was a tad surprised that this is the cheapest, with the full price being £200(ish)

On a more reasonable budget, as well as having a smaller footprint, I picked up an old KRUPS GVX231 Expert Burr Grinder from a local charity shop for a couple of quid to use in the workshop.

I'd be happy enough to buy a brand new one if I was in the market for another machine.
The disadvantage for me, is that it grinds into its own little caddy, which I then need to transfer to the espresso scoop.
Currently on offer via Amazon though other sources are obviously available.

It's a Burr grinder, rather than blade, and does go fairly fine, though I'd say not as fine as I'd prefer for a Turkish/Greek/Syrian Cezve pot. For the latter, I still use an old cylindrical brass hand grinder Jane's mum got somewhere in the former Yugoslavia in the '70s; it was new at the time and take cardamom pods in with the beans OK. I bought one in Syria, but its burrs are well worn now, so another workshop project on the shelf for another day.

Currys list quite a few, including the Krupps one I mentioned earlier, but not sure how many are displayed in store, rather than delivered to store for collection.

Off grinder topic coffee comments.

I almost bought a Jamaican coffee plantation (as in had the documents and decided not to sign). Although that was low slopes Red Mountain growing Robusta rather than the purist high blue mountain Arabica. Jamaica has widened the areas they consider Blue mountain for higher yield. There used to be one small independent high blue mountain grower one could order from directly but most goes to the government intervention buying.

For folk old enough to recall tins of Lyons ground coffee – they no longer make that but do sell coffee bags. My wife favours 'Go-Joe' in compostable bags (but non-recyclable individual outers).

Presumably real aficionados who can't afford Kopi Luwak might consider swallowing coffee cherries and straining their faeces….

Douwe Egberts Instant comes in useful jars. The lids fit my small ride-on mower tank as a replacement lid. Removal of the nylon seal allows the jars to be used as easy kitchen storage (lentils, nuts etc). With the seals they work quite well as jars for making flavoured gins (currants, damson etc). The trick is to remove the seal. apply it first deforming it to extract as much air as possible before refitting the glass top. That brand is occasionally available as double-sized adding to kitchen storage options (pasta etc)

I use a similar Dualit to Andy, again with an espresso machine. I found the spinning blade grinder to be too unpredictable – the Dualit is a "press the button and it's done" thing. And anyway, I broke the blade trying to grind something too hard for it. Must admit, though, I'm not really a coffee gourmand – just someone who drinks a lot of the stuff!

On a related topic – I have a coffee plant in my hall that is absolutely covered in coffee berries, but I have no idea when they are supposed to be picked. Would like to brew my own-grown and roasted coffee at least once, just to say I had done it!

Oh dear, it's put on a lot of weight, or at least bulk, since they made mine, even though it does seem to be the same thing under the skin

I'll put a photo up tomorrow to give an idea of what it looks like, and the size
