Anyone got a recommendation for a good, not-too-dear, electric coffee grinder? My beloved Russell Hobbs one has given up the ghost.

Are burr grinders really significantly better than blade ones, does anyone know from personal experience?

Or, indeed, any other cogent thoughts relating to coffee and the grinding thereof?

I have a top-loading Dualit burr grinder. Cheapish, slightly dodgy build quality but I think decent value. Occasionally jams and clears with shake-ative maintenance. Less mess, more convenience than the blade grinder I used to use.

Mm, thanks. Do you notice any difference in the taste?

Nothing dramatic.
