Caution: If you get a cheap grinder, you're liable to be unhappy with the product. I tried a couple of lower cost grinders, and didn't stop buying new ones until I found a Mazzer in my price range. It ultimately cost me about $300 for the grinder, but I've had it for 10 years, no problems.

The Krups: A friend of mine uses one much like that, and has for a while. But he makes about one shot a week, and doesn't mind nursing the grinder to get a good grind out of it, slowly, over long periods of time.

I haven't used the JC-559 myself, but it looks to be the same design as the Krups. Looks like WholeLatteLove stocks it, which means that it's likely a better-than-average low cost grinder.

(shrug) YMMV, but the one thing I learned from spending $500 on grinders was that I would have been much better off spending $300 on the right grinder the first time.
