Good coffee grinders?

Freshly roasted quality beans ideal within two weeks of roasting but some beans taste fine to me after a month. Proper brewing temperature I would guess somewhere between 198 deg F and 203 deg F (hot but not too hot.)

I have to say the above is in vain without a proper grinder. I would not waste money on top quality beans, go through any pains to properly brew (which can be done well in a variety of ways from dirt cheap crude to expensive espresso machines) if I can't produce decent quality coffee grinds.

Yes I am saying a good grinding device that produces a uniform even grind is the foundation and secrete to good tasting coffee even stale coffee beans will taste better when properly ground (albeit somewhat weak.) For espresso it's an absolute must.

If you use a device that spits out rocky road you will not get good results let alone ever have any control of your final brew.

And yes this just further proves how important quality sharp blades are to the world we live in. They are also vital for good coffee
 
Also only grind as you use after grinding top quality coffee beans they will maintain that spectacular fresh aroma and flavor for a stupendous whole 2 hours since you have just increased the surface area exposed air greatly and now have accelerated the oxidation process that starts immediately after roasting from two weeks to stale to 2 hours guaranteed top quality flavored Maxwell House.
 
I remember when the Rocky was much less than $369 I had one. it still is quite a workhorse (must be over 11 years old by now) I have since given it to my brother.

These are Italian made when the dollar became weak compared to the Euro and the prices of metal went up the price of the Rocky skyrocketed. It has not come down since.

If you have the money and need something small to conserve countertop space this one is great but I can get a used top notch countertop hogging huge commercial for about the same total with a little shopping and maybe a lot of elbow grease.
