+1, with the qualification that if you want to test if hand grinding is something you prefer, $25 entry fee is ten times less than the Lido 2. However, the grind and the grinding experience of the Lido is Rivendellian while the Hario or Porlex are Public or similar. Why grind instead of blade? Consistancy brews better, so all your gounds osmosize equally, neither under or over brewing. This gives easily noticable improvement to the flavor.

I've had both and they don't compare to more high end manual grinders.” With abandon, Patrick -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
