Question regarding grinders: I uses a French press to make my coffee and drink it black. Any specific grinders anyone would recommend? or are all created equal.

Saw the recommendation from Hoj regarding a burr grinder, but anything else to look for beyond that?

Burr grinders are more expensive, but the consistency they provide is unmatched by a wing grinder. If you are only using it for french press, you can probably get away with a less expensive one. When I was doing research about getting a home espresso machine, there was overwhelming advice that if you have a budget of $1000 or less you should be spending at least half of this on the grinder. This is an expensive proposition, but the path to excellence is never easy.
