Of course, the grinder is just the beginning of that pursuit. If what you want is drip coffee or French press or vacpot — even moka pot, though as I've said before, I don't recommend it — you won't necessarily need the finest of fine settings.

Burr grinders allow the finished product to pass through once the bean is crushed to your specific setting. One of the problems of finding the ideal burr grinder is for most of us we want to experiment with different brew methods thus requiring different grinds. It is hard to find a burr grinder that can effectively go from espresso (fine grind) to French Press (coarse grind). I bought the Rancillio Rocky which is good on the fine grind and can do the coarse grinds too (though not as affectively) Other issues to consider are if you like flavored coffees (I only occasionally) then you probably don't want to put these beans into your expensive burr grinder and leave residual oils (IMO). The below burr is recommended for those of you on the fence about buying. It comes highly reviewed as an entry level grinder via http://coffeegeek.com/ (you can waste your life here). This burr grinder can be had for $89 and can produce grinds from espresso to French press http://bit.ly/B3KmY Burr versus blade, blade creates a lot of heat and has sporadic results often creating boulders and dust.
