Turkish mill or Virtuoso - 2007/01/30 16:39 Right now I am trying to figure out what grinder to get on a student budget!!

I basically would like to take quality of grind above everything else!!

OK, here’s the deal. I have heard a lot about adjustable Turkish mill grinders and read that they are capable of grinding as well as the better machines. Obviously it requires more effort on the users’ part, but I don't care as quality is my only concern.

I am either going to buy a Turkish mill between $30-$80 or a Virtuoso $199 (which means less spending on.....)

I would like to here what everyone has to say about Turkish mills! It just sounds like a much better deal.

Cheers,
Aashish
