The Hario Skerton is a ceramic burr mill that's hand operated, portable, and affordable. It'll set you back about $28.00 It holds plenty of coffee for your morning brew (about 100g at a time, so if you're making a lot it may take a couple of grinding sessions), offers a nice, consistent grind and a comfortable grip while you're using it, and it's easy to clean out when you're finished. It's lightweight, and even if you don't use it with the included coffee container, it fits a standard mason jar, so you can attach it to one of those and grind to your heart's content. The bottom is rubberized so it doesn't slide around your countertops while you grind, either.
