For $10, why not? I'm not a coffee expert though. Any reasons to not get this as the first grinder? I don't drink espresso if that matters.

Metal blade grinders aren't great as they merely break up the coffee beans into nonuniform chunks. Research a ceramic burr grinder effectiveness versus metal blade grinder. This is ok if you're just starting out, on a budget, don't care, etc. but if you want a great cup of coffee ceramic burr or at least metal burr is a lot better.

You can get a manual hand grinder for $20-50, an entry level electric for $50-100 or a nicer Baratza for $150+

Agreed there was a decent change when I moved onto a burr grinder from the blade. You can make a good cup with a blade but it requires more work to make the coffee more uniform.

You can even find cheaper electric burr options than $50.
I think there's a portable electric one on Amazon for like $23 or so.

Agree with this post. I used a Braun whirlyblade chopper like this one for coffee for years.

I only moved to a burr grinder when I got into making espresso (my Rancilio machine was very picky about grind).

I'd argue that using this is still better than buying ground coffee.

Going to get this as a dedicated spice grinder. Definitely prefer a burr grinder for coffee.

Would this be fine for bit batch cold brew?

That's what I'm getting out of it. Not so great for espresso, but for rough coarse stuff like cold brew, this might be a great buy.

I got a Baratza last BF. Great burr grinder, but I was shocked that the hopper and the ground coffee receptacle are so flimsy. You break one of those and the grinder is useless.

I don't know about this brand, but Krups works fine. The trick is very short pulses and shaking it while whacking.
It takes a little practice, but I can get very consistent grinds every time.
You will hear that nothing but a cone grinder will work, oddly my cone grinder that cost three times as much as my old burr grind sucks at French grinding.
To be honest I can use the cone grinder or the hand held, with a hand held I'm more opt to be grinding just a cup of coffee, with a counter grinder I'm doing half a pound.
America's Test Kitchen has an episode on this. Don't let people tell you these small grinders don't work. I think the Krups is actually a spice grinder.
Crap like the blade heats up the coffee. These people are making too much of a PhD thesis out of it.
As you use it, it doesn't take long. You just get better and better. I got so I could just mindlessly grind it.
Short burst while shaking checking repeat, not looking, done, more based on total number of seconds.
Soon, you will be grinding it, shaking it, and you're done.
