Have this, works reasonably well. Really cheap for a burr grinder.
I know coffee snobs agree with you, but what is the rationale? (I drink almost 100% espresso rather than drip or other)
There are all levels of grinders: blade, āburrā and āconical burrā. The last is what the better machines are.
Blade choppers are good for dry spices and pepper, etcā¦not for coffee.
āSweet Mariaā explainsā¦consistency of the ground is impossible with blade grinder. http://legacy.sweetmarias.com/library/content/espresso-grind
do I understand that you are using a blade grinder to dose espresso, or you just use espresso beans for drip?
Stay tuned. Wife says sheās returning the Capressa in favor of a Krups that had a covered bin. Her assumption is that the open design of the Capressa bin is allowing the static to toss the grounds around. At least we can empty a closed bin in the sink to avoid the grout staining problem. The Cuisinart we started this odyssey with had the same kind of bin, so weāll see.
Who knew this was such a big deal?
I have two Breville Smart Grinders that I have dialed in to a Gaggia Baby and a Sylvia (yep I know you canāt pair these two togetherā¦wrong) for the last couple of years. Took a bit of tweaking and Iām pretty consistent with the beans I use.
Yo, Peterā¦ perhaps you could use a handheld vacuum to pick up errant coffee grounds without staining the grout. I use this one to deal with copious amounts of chaff when roasting coffee beans. It works very well, and the lithium battery holds a charge for a long time.

FWIW my Baratza Encore grinder (conical burr) makes very little mess.
I usually grind it and let it sit for a bit (maybe 20 minutes or so) and the static goes away.
Why go to the trouble if you can keep returning units until you find the right one? As an ex-retailer I am particularly thrilled by the practice. 
Krups GVX2 now in pre-use mode, (wife brought it home late this afternoon). This one has a covered plastic bin, but the instructions say to tap it before opening, so Iām assuming the static thing is standard for these bins. At least, because itās covered, we may be able to empty it over the sink and avoid too much cleanup. News at 11.
I have a very large commercial grinder and I am constantly fiddling with my grind, and my dose, so i am too lazy to try and program dose very often. I just hit a button and out comes coffee. As such I often (every day) overrun my PF and have grounds on the catch tray and even my counter. I bought a cordless shop vac off amazon and love it. I just keep it by the grinder and clean up in a second.
JMHO. But we used a $20 spice grinder to grind coffee for years until it died. I just donāt see the need to buy a dedicated (kept clean for kitchen use) $50 vacuum to clean up after a $75 grinder. Hopefully the closed Krups bin will get this under control. Will report back in a few days.
Iām using a Krups blade grinder and am happy with the simplicity and the results.
But I use a pulse technique rather than continuous grind and I think I get a more uniform particulate size that way.
It isnāt a perfect world. The Krups grinder seems to work well, and the covered bin is definitely eliminating the flyaway grounds problem. The unit, however, has about half the capacity of the Capressa, which did our normal quantity in a single grind. You canāt have everything I guess.
Gee. Only three grinders in two weeks. Hope weāre done now.
Now is an opportunity to try out a few handheld vacuums. Your grout will be happier. Carpe diem!
Please donāt give my wife any ideas. She will go through 4 of them before settling on one that we donāt need in the first place. 
Some good review sites.

If you donāt mind a little physical labor, this hand crank is $40 and has good reviews. Just donāt buy it from Amazon, I noticed complaints that it isnāt a true Hario, but a cheaper knockoff with lower quality. Though the reviews say its a lot of work if you are making a whole pot of fine grounds.

I have one of those. It is about 200 cranks to get coffee for one large mug. The grind quality is great, you can do everything from french press to espresso. I would hate to have to grind enough for a pot.
I was going to recommend the Gaggia MDF grinder. Mine has lasted over 8 years and is still going strong. But I paid $115 for mine in 2007, they are now in $250 range. I have heard good things on the Baratza.
Williams Sonoma has the Virtuoso eligible for their 20% off any one item this weekend. Price is ~$184 before tax. Better than Amazonās price, better reviews than the Encore, and the price difference drops to <$60. Not insignificant, but I am a buyer.
