I also do not grind much coffee per day.

I use an inexpensive (sub $100) Capresso burr grinder. It is consistent and has steel burrs. And you simply lift the top burr off the top as seen in the picture below, and you can take a stiff brush on which your maybe cut the bristles down to the inside for fairly effortless cleaning.

The chute the grounds slide down isn't terribly vertical though, so you will leave coffee behind unless you tap it on the counter. That's the main flaw with this one imo. But I've not found it bad at all as far as cleaning goes. Also, I wouldn't try an espresso grind in it. This is probably where it would show it's price range the most I'm guessing.
