I'm looking for my first grinder, so I can start getting coffee in beans rather than already ground. I don't drink a huge amount, so want a fairly small unobtrusive grinder so it doesn't end up in the cupboard, next to the juicer..!
The Bellux one from AGS has always tempted me after I read Missingskin's comments on it.

But I can't help wondering if an electric one would be more futureproof? Do they perform any 'better' or just easier to use?
Krups do one for virtually the same price (£36) 17 settings but no mention of motor size.

The Gaggia MM isn't much more at £52, 100w motor with 9 settings.

The Dualit 75015 at £80 is the realistic top end of my budget, 10 grind settings and 150w motor.

Can anyone shed any light on what to choose? I'm only going to be grinding a bit at a time, (a large Boden cafetiere at most) so I don't need a large hopper, but I guess the larger motor is better? Or just quicker?
Cheers
