I'm sure you noted that one of those grinders on the ratings page you linked to is a "burr" grinder, where you hand-crank to grind the beans. Burr grinding gets much higher reviews than electric grinding, (creates a much more uniform size grind than electric) but you're doing the work to grind. Much quieter than electric grinding, though.

Electric burr grinders are readily available, but I don't know how they compare to hand-crank burr grinders. But burr grinding supposedly produces superior results.
