Ikea used to have a cheap (~$20?) hand-crank ceramic burr grinder. It was excellent for the money, but coffee snobs turned up their noses because it wasn't as good as ones costing 5x.
There just isn't a market for such things, or at least there isn't if it is only being compared to very expensive stuff. Ikea might still sell it in some markets, but definitely not in the USA.

- Kon-Peki 4y agoAre you comparing it to a non-burr grinder of a similar price, or are you comparing it to a much more expensive burr grinder?
- KptMarchewa 4y agoMore expensive burr grinder. Non-burr grinders are bad regardless of price.
