Default Quiet coffee grinder???

Of course the Mazzer grinders are very quiet. This is one of many
professional features you get for your money.

I got a Kitchenaid "pro grinder" at Costco for $100. It usually sells for
$200. It's a horizontal grinder, though I don't think it's conical[I haven't
looked inside yet]. It's very quiet. It doesn't wake the little woman. It
grinds a very uniform expresso grind. The only possible bitch is that once
you turn it on, you have to manually turn it off. At the same time, it
grinds quickly. After throwing out 4 self destructing grinders, I'm for the
first time in years grinding happily.
