makes a beautiful grind

Grind effort is easy. Stainless steel grind mechanism makes consistent grind size at all levels, from fine to coarse. Grinder has a good solid feel in hand, maybe a little heavy weight for traveling if carrying in backpack. The grind adjustment knob turns smoothly (there is no click sensation).The complaint I have is in setting the grind level. There is 12 engraved digits numbers for the adjustment knob, the numbers are little difficult to see in low light. The start point is found by turning knob completely clockwise to where it no longer turns. The issue I have is the starting point on my grinder lands on #7. Suggested grind levels range from 3-28 digits. For example if I want a grind level of 21 for French Press, it requires me to do some math: Start #7, preform 2 complete counter clockwise rotations, to land back on #7, then back off 3 digits to #4. If I want a grind level of 12: Start on #7, preform 1 complete rotation to land on #7, + 9 more digits, to land on #4. See what I mean! not an issue if you use the same grind level but if you want to change your grind level (especially first thing in the morning low light) it requires some concentration (and maybe some extra light) !I did contact the seller to see if there was a way to make an adjustment so that the starting point lands on #1. They responded quickly and they assured me not a problem with the grinder and explained the grind level setting process.I my opinion a design flaw, that said this grinder does a beautiful job of grinding.

This is a MUST HAVE

I’ve been living for the past 2 years in a small RV with no electricity. My Coffee is VERY important to me. lol During my travels I visited The Gallery Coffee Shop in Munising Michigan, and the owner sold me on the superior flavor associated with Pour Over Coffee. I haven’t looked back. But part of the key is to use FRESH ground coffee for that full, delightful flavor, along with perfectly roasted beans. Yes, I’m that picky.I’ve used electric coffee grinders, but its difficult to measure the exact amount of beans necessary for a single serving, not to mention that during these extreme weather events, electrical grids are being maxed well beyond their capability.After reading multiple reviews, I finally settled on this hand grinder and I must say, its a golden ticket item. I will NEVER go back to anything else.This Burr is made extremely well. Its heavy duty.You can adjust the size of the grind from extremely fine to coarse, depending on your taste or even method of coffee prep. The grinding is easy. But best of all, there is a perfectly measured space for your beans to make the most perfect cup of coffee ever. Want it stronger or weaker, adjust the size of the grind. No more waste, no more guessing.If you are a coffee lover, or you need a gift for a coffee lover, This is a MUST HAVE!!! It is worth EVERY penny.I highly recommend that you also purchase a stainless steel goose neck kettle to target your pour. For the best flavor, you want to wet the grounds and let them effervesce for a moment to release the flavor before fully saturating them with the entire water quantity you will be using for your coffee.Go Forth and have the BEST coffee you will EVER make, EVERY SINGLE DAY> YOU WILL NOT REGRET THIS PURCHASE!

well made

It is well made and works smoothly, but I have only used it a few times, so I’m not sure about its durability. You can adjust the grind and get the taste you prefer. It is different from the electric grinders. I like the taste of the grind a lot.

Top Quality – Expensive

You get what you pay for. This is not a cheap grinder, but the quality is superb! Great for when power is out or when camping or for cases when you prefer manual tools.

Don’t waste money on a lesser version

Will made out of good metal. No plastic trash involved. Downsides are that it isn’t all that adjustable, so better for fine grind. Doesn’t seal on top so bits of coffee might make a break for freedom as you grind. Still far superior to cheaper models.

Estoy feliz con este molino

He ensayado otros molinos y la verdad no encontraba uno tan bueno como este. Estoy feliz y ya puedo disfrutar diariamente de un café recien molido.

Excellent quality

The first time I held it after taking it out of it’s very impressive box, I noticed its quality and heft. Machined out of aluminum, yet with a weight that implies a very robust build, this grinder is built to impress. It’s control dial for grind fineness is not very user friendly and its handle could fit a little better on the shaft, but those are nitpicks that one gets used to right away. If the reservoir is filled with beans, it will produce two cups of a fine grind suitable for a pod-style coffee maker. I use it for both that coffee maker and an old fashioned non-electric percolator for camping. The grinding process itself, using steel burrs rather than ceramic, is decent. But even with a longer-than-usual handle, it still takes a bit of muscle to grind that much. But that’s OK since I think of it as a bit of upper-body calisthenics for the morning. All manual grinders are that way. The grinder comes with a very nice horse-hair brush for cleanup, a nice touch. I noticed that after grinding, there are no issues with static electricity making some of the finer bits cling to the grinder, unlike electric grinders I owned in the past. So some brushing is all it takes to clean up. I’m really impressed overall with this product.

Handy Burr Coffee Grinder

The design is good and it is quite compact so easy to store. I did find however setting the grind slightly fiddly otherwise very good burr grinder.

Well built with great results

This was my first grinder purchase. I had done my research and wanted something manual (to avoid increasing the electricity bill more), with burrs instead of blades and fine enough to grind for espresso. I didn’t have the budget for some of the premium options so took a look at this one. The reviews were overwhelmingly positive, so I made the plunge.The first thing I noticed when unpacking was the weight (nicely heavy) and quality. I followed the included instructions and it was easy to set up the grind size. I initially put it on the ‘7’ setting for our Delonghi Dedica espresso machine and it produced a lovely, consistent, fine grind. I tried setting it to 5 for a finer grind, but this actually blocked the machine, so it will grind finer and you’ll need to tweak to find the best one for your setup.Overall I’m very impressed for the price and highly recommend it.
