Looking for coffee mill that will work with Aeropress

I have an old Kyocera coffee mill (CM-45CF -> Japan import) that I used in conjunction with the Aerobie Aeropress. Since it is an old discontinued model, I can not find a burr replacement kit. Anyone have any suggestions for a manually operated coffee mill similar to this that can be used with the aeropress?

Hm, wonder if this is something that can be 3D printed?

I'm not sure if I understand when you say "can be used with" (like, does it need to attach or something?) but I have a Hario Mini Mill Slim hand grinder that's great for small quantities. It does a very respectable burr grind and is reasonably easy to handle. Unless I'm misunderstanding your question, it might be what you're looking for.

I home roast. I have a Breville Burr Grinder. We also have the hairo hand crank for travel. I make my cups in an aeropress.

I have a Baratza for home grinding and, like you, use the Hario mainly outside the house. My home coffee consumption is a little heavy for a manual grinder.

After I grind the coffee, I unscrew the top part of the coffee mill, put the aeropress on top of the glass container (container containing the ground coffee), and flip it over (to dump the coffee grinds into the aeropress). I guess I just need a glass container (from the coffee bean mill) that is smaller in diameter than the aeropress.

I grind about 23 g of coffee beans in my Kyocera Ceramic Coffee Mill (CM-45CF).

Maybe you can try using a canning funnel as the connective go-between between your two devices.

Thanks for the tip.
