Since there are other coffee lovers here: what would you recommend for manual coffee grinding.
Keep in mind that this grinder will be used nearly daily, so it has to be built to last.
Any advice is welcome.
Also, are electric grinders comparable in coffee quality with manual grinders?
If so, what would be a good grinder?

I have been using
this daily for the past two years and have been very happy. It is a conical burr grinder, which like your manual grinder (and unlike electric blade grinders), will not burn the coffee. It has been very reliable, giving me consistent, uniform grounds from coarse (for my presspot), to very fine espresso and turkish grinds. The price is very reasonable.
