If you are just making a single cup of coffee for yourself the manual burr grinders such as the Hario and Kyocera are perfect. They are almost identical and the I can't tell the actual ceramic burrs apart. They are interchangeable. I have three of them and use them mostly for travel. Hand grinders in addition to being the least expensive burr grinders are also the easiest to disassemble to clean. Very strongly suggest not buying any kind of blade grinder. As alluded to in your link they are all crap unless you have absolutely no regard for a good tasting cup of coffee. For that matter don't use a blender either, which is nothing but a large blade grinder. My electric grinder is a Breville but they are high end home burr grinders and usually go for about $200, but I understand that most will not want to make that investment. A number of posts have suggested Krups but Krups makes all kinds of grinders including the inferior blade type grinders.
