> Coffee grinders are ripe for disruption with a low cost high quality product, but in order to pay for the engineering time to make one you have to have confidence in pretty high volume so picking a price point is hard.
It sounds like a Chinese company has kind of done this with the D40+, DF54 [1], DF64, and DF83 grinders, available at price points from $200 to $800. They are white label products sold under various brand names like Turin, MiiCoffee, etc all over the world. If reviews are to be believed, they have a good grind quality in addition to nice quality of life features like very little retention, static electricity, replaceable parts, etc.
The $200 - $250 range is still probably too expensive for most homes, but definitely not out of line for a high quality kitchen appliance.
