The main issue I have with coffee grinders (besides the noise and need for a power source) is kief getting stuck in the nooks and crannies.
I used this when I was still in school and couldn't splurge on a nicer grinder. Its better than most blades and a snap to clean.
This is my hack for grinding lots of pepper. I'm not a fan of the twisty-top style pepper mills in the first place, but they're especially ill-suited for massive pepper needs. And if you're doing this regularly enough, get a coffee mill that's dedicated to taking care of spices and use that.
Not sure why that person deleted their post, but a mini mill like that would be fine. Honestly, I spent years using a spice mill. It wasn't until I was going into a pour over competition that I upgraded to a legit coffee grinder, and even then it's a simple barratza encore. The spice mill I used was maybe $14 new at target. So check this out... not high quality mind you, definitely is in its price point, but this is better than pre-ground, or a spice mill.

As for a pour over cone? My ceramic v60 was $12 on amazon, I have a melita cone, plastic that was $3 on amazon, and I have a kalita wave that was $1 at goodwill.
If you'd use a tortilla press, then you'll probably get a lot of use out of a citrus squeezer. I feel like the lever kind gets you the most juice, and the orange ones do lemon and limes just as well.
Microplane -- great for citrus zests, spices, ginger and garlic. I like to have one with slightly bigger holes for cheese as well --- the microplane makes really fine, fluffy cheese that basically disappears when it melts, and sometimes that's not what you want.
Seconding a cast iron skillet --- great for so many things, searing steak, frying chicken, bacon, stews.
Tongs --- tongs, a spatula and a wooden spoon and you can basically cook anything
Fine mesh strainer --- can use for pasta or whatnot, but it's also great for things like gravy or pan sauces where you want plup to get through but no chunks of stuff
probe thermometer --- super handy for meats.
Nice to have: Coffee grinder. Awesome for spices --- you can buy whole spices, which keep their flavor much longer and are way cheaper. The difference between, say, cumin from a jar and cumin seeds you toast and grind fresh --- it's ridiculous. Mortar and pestle, same deal --- there's some kinds of sauces, like mole or Thai curries, that you get much better flavor when you use a mortar and pestle. You can usually get them pretty cheap at Asian or Latin American groceries.
:/ cheap one

31 days for Augustus.
August is amazing as on the 11th there of it I celebrate my having grace the world with birth. It is a beautiful day, celebrated by all. After all, the gift of Kim is the gift that keeps on giving.

I have that model hamilton beach blade grinder and I also agree with shaking it to improve consistency. I know it's not the best grinder but I'm under employed right now and can't afford better. As soon as I get a decent IT job a burr grinder will be the first lifestyle upgrade I'll purchase so this thread is being saved for future use.
I currently brew with a french press, an aero, a bodum mocha pot and a shitty drip brew. The mocha is my favorite, I just wish it was a bit bigger so I could get a full mug.
>conical burr grinder
Any reason why I should rebuy a grinder over the cheap grinder I have?
The only thing I wish it had was the ability to grind more beans at once since I do cold brew and each batch uses ~285grams of coffee.
Damn, was available this morning, oh well. So I was thinking of ordering these.
press ginder pot
Only thing I am unsure about is the grinder.
