I've ground the coffee both on my mother-in-law's wrought-iron coffee grinder, and on my little Braun, too. And Charles, you'll kill me for this, but it was entirely TOO much trouble (everyone would ask me to roast and grind some for them, too!)..... I find buying 200gms of coffee powder from Cotha's at 2.30pm works fine for me! :)
