Forget the whirly-blade grinders. Their grind is uneven and
inconsistent. At the least, I'd go with the Bodum Antigua:

For a really good grinder, and one usable if you start making espresso,
there's the Solis Maestro Plus:

There are a bunch of much cheaper grinders, by Salton-Maxim/Melitta, and
by Capresso, but they're not very good.
