I have had numerous coffee grinders including multiple hand grinders. This grinder exceeded my expectations for its construction, grind quality and grinding speed.The grinder is machined out of aluminum and all of the parts fit and work well. I have ground lite and dark roasted beans and it grinds them all consistently and efficiently. It will easily hold a 1/4 cup of beans for grinding. I haven't used the largest grind setting, because I don't need it but have used the settings up to 48, in this case the second 24. The kind settings are indicated 1-24, but you can spin the setting dial 3 rotations to achieve up a setting of 72. This is the best hand grinder I have purchased.

Burr geometry was unfortunately different from advertised. Geometry highly affects the grinder output, uniformity and fines. Returning. (Note for the enthusiasts: if you’re ok with geometry, 42-45 euros is 1/3 of izpresso or any other brand. Great value. Don’t hesitate to buy)

This thing rocks. I like hand ground coffee, for some reason. I bought another one like this, for a simliar price, maybe $5 cheaper, but this one FAR exceeds that in build quality and overall feel. The aluminum is thicker, feels more substantial, smoother, grinds better, and just overall is BETTER. It's hard to describe unless you've used a cheap manual grinder before, or you can put this in your hands and try it yourself. But trust me, this is a winner, if you want a manual hand grinder and don't want to spend $100. Highly recommend!

The grinder is beautiful and initially appears to be of good quality. Unfortunately, it could only grind coarsely after a short time. There is a ring that you have to turn and it never really worked. I have returned the grinder.

I've been trying to reduce the plastic in items that I use daily and I wanted a quality coffee grinder. So, I started watching videos and reading recommendations and my heart sank. The Timeore C2/C3 was already expensive and it has plastic in it and with the 1zpresso it was starting to get even more expensive.Then I stumbled across this grinder and pulled the trigger on the black one. What a beautiful grinder. My version has the little squares around the top part and is quite grippy. The first thing that popped into my mind while unscrewing the bottom was that it was built like a camera lens. Precision machining.I started to grind some coffee to clean out any residues since the instructions say not to wash the shaft. I ground some very fine coffee, which was a bit of work. After that I tried various settings to find one for my pour-over. I was impressed by the uniformity of the grounds and I love the settings wheel on the top. For my purposes, I'm grinding the coffee a bit coarser and the grinding is very easy and fast.I also got an allen wrench to check the shaft - nice and tight.Thank you for providing such a high-quality, affordable coffee grinder without plastic. It makes great cups of coffee and I would buy it again in a heartbeat.

Been looking for a manual coffee grinder. I used to have a Hario years ago. Details have improved with manual coffee grinders since, such as metal construction, bearings, multiple supports for less shaft wobble, and improved burr design. All those areas are where the Hario was lacking. This solves all of this. I was hoping to get into espresso but suggested grinders are $$$. On the cheaper options, I was concerned about range of grind. Either the product description is outdated, or they have improved the product without telling anyone. There are SIX clicks per number on the dial. There are 12 numbers per round. So 72 clicks per round. I took a caliper to a surface i could measure, and compared a full round, then divided by 72. Approximately 1.02 mm total travel for a full round. 0.014167 mm per click. ~14 microns per click.As to a five to seven sided burr, it seems the more sides, the faster you will grind. Since this is a smaller burr than the more expensive grinders, the greater sides helps with grinding faster.Construction is fine, sturdy. Easy to clean and spins freely with little resistance. Upon disassembly, resetting the holding nut does change where your zero is, depending on how tight you make it. And i did catch it moved once. But that may have been my error.Only downside is that the coarsest it seems to grind is for pourover. Espresso, moka, pourover, this will do just fine.Shoutout to Sam for their extensive review. It helped me make a decision to purchase this. I'm hoping to add to this and help anyone else looking for a cost effective coffee grinder.

Well built. Looked at quite a few before purchasing and very happy I held out for this. Excellent value!

I only used this grinder about four times before it kept constantly having the grounds get stuck to the burrs and have to be a disassembled after every use. Even when it was working it takes forever to grind any coffee beans through it. I did not use any water on it but I do not recommend this over a cheaper blade grinder like what Shardor sells for $20. The only thing this grinder has going for it is that it looks nice.

Não é um moedor número 1, mas é um excelente produto. Principalmente para quem está adquirindo seu primeiro moedor. Atende perfeitamente bem, entrega tudo como vem na discrição. Indico muito esse produto.

This unit is impressive in terms of finish and quality. However, when it comes to fine grinding for espresso it takes 200 revolutions to get enough grounded coffee for a double espresso. I ajusted the the grinder and then did four trials with two different types of coffee. I did this because it seemed to take a long time to grind the coffee., The result was more or less the same, 200 turns to get the needed coffee,. Compared to my other manual grinder at 40 revolutions, I will have to find another unit for the cottage since I returned this one.

I've only used it once so far, but I like how it feels and the results of the grinding. The product description indicates 24 settings, but there are only 12 detent divots when adjusting the grind course/fine settings, therefore the 24 settings is misleading. Other than that, the packaging is very good, the product quality is very good, sturdy construction. The instructions on how to adjust the grind setting is vague, but if you mess around with the setting adjustment, you will figure it out, or else end up pulling your hair out. (joking).

I use it for pour-over coffee and am happy with it.It didn't come with a bad (chemical) smell but I wish it had a better cleaning brush inside the package.The external coarseness adjusting dial system, the aluminum anodized shell for a better grip, and the rotating handle with a wooden knob made it very comfortable to use.The photo shows the results for 12+3 (times 2) steps for pour-over and 5 (times 2) steps for moka coffees.But it has more settings for finer or coarser results than those I provided here.
