I need to buy a nice coffee grinder for Valentine's day
For my SO. I need to buy it on-line TODAY so that it arrives in time.
Where should I look? No other opportunities to buy it without her being around.

3. Go with a burr grinder
over a blade grinder.

Burr grinders produce uniform grains of coffee which lead to a much better cup of coffee. Blade grinders mangle your beans and produce a grind that is logged down with dust, irregular in size, and pulverized more than ground. All three of these things make coffee taste bitter, bad and/or muddy.

More important than what you use to brew coffee and actually more important than the bean is the quality of your grind. Even a bad burr grinder is worth the $.

6. You guys must really love coffee.
No candy, no flowers, just a good grinder. If I'd met someone like you 30 years ago I'd still be married.

7. Krups.
They last forever. The Krups stainless steel coffee mill is pricey, but it's beautiful.

9. Starbucks sells them for about $30
Any local store should have them.
