I know high end grinders are probably worth it for espresso, but for pour-over coffee does it make that much difference? I use a Capresso Infinity at either fine coarse or medium coarse and that’s about it. Visibly the grind size does look a bit variable to me. Since I’m already in conical bur territory here, are higher end grinders really going to make a noticeable difference in my pour-over brews? If you feel strongly the answer is yes, I’m also curious what you would recommend (but please don’t bother naming anything over $500usd unless you provide a link to a used version that is in that range).
You get a lot of value for the money with the better hand grinders. The really good 1zpresso, Kinu, and others (not Commandante C40 which is way obsolete for the money) get you great burrs and materials without the added expense and space of a motor. A good hand grinder will go through 25 grams of beans in under a minute easily.
