LOL. The Aeropress people show up in coffee threads the same way Miata drivers do in car topics. Neither is always the answer 
(no offense, everyone gets to like what they like)

I look forward to my first cuppa in the morning. Not sure if it’s the little caffeine jolt or the rich flavor that I want the most. I salivate at the sound of the coffee bean grinder.
A few years ago I collected different coffee makers.
They all taste different.

About ten years ago there where plenty of coffee makers at the Flea Markets.
Not now.

Have you tried a rancilio rocky (doserless). Its been my go to grinder for years. Its super durable and the grinder plates are easily replaced when they eventually wear down (that takes a lot of coffee). Its nearly indestructible for home use.
If your really picky about french press grind size I sometimes remove fines with a small sieve (originally for matcha). But I have never had a problem with performance in my pourover or other set ups.
It’s also a great espresso grinder, but I have been using a superauto for a while (with young kids sometimes “push button, get latte” is all I can manage in the morning).

Impressive. Are you positive they all are bona fide coffee makers, though? Because that one thing looks like an early reverberating carbonizer with mutate capacity.

It is worth experimenting with all the different types of makers.
I find after a while one can “dial in” the flavor and strength.

What’s the story with the one on the lower-left? It’s got an R2-D2 vibe working for it.

Got this from eBay a couple of years back:
The wonderfully named Spong No. 1. There were different sizes, this article goes into great detail on them:
There’s even a very rare No. 0 which is pretty tiny.
When I received the grinder it was very rusty, but once cleaned up it became apparent from the condition of the burrs that it had never been used. Once adjusted right it makes perfect grind for my Aeropress. It’s probably not as old as you’d think either - UK kitchenware company Salter bought the brand and were making them up until the 80’s.

Please provide photos once you link them into one glorious mad-scientist coffee maker.

Looks like something one would have to master the operation of before being allowed to run a steam locomotive.
