i didnt read everyones replies so apologies if this has already been said: BODUM BISTRO - i recommended our office get this when they told me their price range, and it has been the office workhorse grinder for over a year with nothing to complain about really. it's only $60 i think. my gf and i have the baratza virtuoso at home & really like it but it's far more expensive.
