It's already down from 49.95 to 39.95 (which is the price at other shops) but they currently have a 10% discount on small appliances and that's the best price I could find for it.
Yes, David Jones is also selling linguine now, I hope that it's good.

Don't buy a blade 'grinder' for coffee.
That said, this works a treat if you need to chop up…. herbs.
Cheapest bur grinder?
Probably the manual ones on eBay.
Cheapest you should get electronic would be something like the capresso infinity.
RIP op
this counts for a downvote yeah?
Clearance. Lots of stores without stock
Never use a blade grinder for coffee.
If you really have to, here's a video on trying to make the coffee taste less bad. Haven't seen it in a while but I assume he explains why blade grinders suck.
I'll explain, and do my best to keep it brief. I'll put important parts in bold.
When you extract coffee, you're doing one of two things.
1) The coffee is immersed in water (like a French press / percolator / stovetop)
2) Water is running through the coffee (any drip method, or espresso)In each scenario, what is happening, is that at high water temperature, and high surface area, the water is extracting the soluble parts of the coffee from the ground coffee.
When the particles of coffee are not consistently sized, then this extraction process will occur at different rates.
i.e. water will extract coffee from a small particle a lot faster than it will from a large particle. tl;dr this coffee will taste bad. Longer version: large particles will be underextracted, highly acidic and sour. small particles will be overextracted, bitter, dry, harsh, and astringent.A blade grinder works, by randomly chopping up a coffee bean into smaller pieces of various sizes. How large or how small depends on how long you run the grinder for, which results in a smaller average particles size, but still an outright mess.
The better alternative is a burr grinder, which does a much better job of grinding particles into more consistent sizes. imo, the best bang for buck burr grinder is the ozbargain favourite, Breville Smart Grinder Pro. If you're willing to chip out a little more, you can't go wrong with a Baratza Sette 270W / 270Wi. especially with the scales features. I think these outperform any commercial grade grinder, like any Mazzer etc. when they are used in a domestic setting.
If you prefer a hand-grinder, Comandante does an excellent job for having the most even particle sizes, but it's $$$$. James Hoffmann also has a series of great videos on selecting a hand grinder or electric grinder for domestic use. tbh, I would never use a hand grinder for espresso. too much hassle.
thats a shredder, not a grinder
