I was pleased when I opened the box and saw the quality of this manual coffee bean grinder. Granted it is small, but it does grind very easily. The size is great for traveling. Most travel rentals do not have coffee bean grinders. To make a full pot of 8-12 cups you will have to fill the hopper at least twice depending on how strong you like your coffee. The handle does turn smooth and easily but it does take many turns to completely empty the hopper. The grinder comes with a nice brush to completely remove all of the grinds from the grinder. It can be a bit messy. Overall, I am happy with this grinder even though I will most likely use it for travel.

I am very impressed with this hand operated coffee grinder. It is a serious piece of machinery with the heft to match. The all metal grinder operates with precision and produces results from the grinder to match. The handle has a good feel to it and is constructed in a way to use leverage in a way to push through the resistance from the beans and machinery to grind them. The grinder is adjustable and it didn’t take long to adjust the grind for making pour over coffee. I adjusted the grinder and was able to get a very satisfactory grind for my espresso machine. It is built well and is sure to last. My arms did get tired from cranking but I owe that to how miserably out of shape I’m in!

This is a pretty good grinder, far from the best, but the price is not remotely close to those grinders.This is definitely heavy and solid. It does a decent job. One issue I have is that it will not hold 30 grams of beans. When I brew coffee, I brew 16 ounces at a time. I have to do 2 batches, and use a small container to store the first batch of grinds. There is definitely static with this grinder. I have no idea what causes it, but my higher end hand grinders have much less static. One thing you can do to minimize this is to RDT your beans. This is merely get a tiny bit of moisture on the beans prior to putting them in the grinder. That will knock it just about completely out.This is very easy to take apart. Make sure the handle is attached, hold it firmly, and unscrew the adjustment on the bottom until it comes off. From locked in place, it takes about 8 1/2 rotations before it comes off. Once off, the inner burr drops right out. There is a spring, but that is further up the inner spindle and will usually stay pretty much in place. Once you have the inner burr out, you can easily use the included brush to clean the inner and outer burrs. You can also pull out the inner spindle, but not a whole lot of reason to do that. This is a really simple process.There are numbers on the adjustment dial, but they are not easy to read. On mine, the zero point is not at zero on the adjustment dial. If you screw it all the way until it stops, then back it off to the first stop, consider that your zero point. For me, backing out another 17 clicks and I got a good grind level for a Kalita Wave dripper.This has more fines and boulders than my higher end grinders, but the grind range is still more than adequate to get a good pour over. This also is fairly easy to crank and grinds the coffee at a good rate.If you need to clean this for grinding herbs after coffee, do not wash the grinder. There is a product called Grindz that will clean the oil off the burrs and leave a white powder behind. After using that, take out the inner burr and brush out all the powder from the burrs, then reassemble. You should now be able to grind herbs or whatever else.This is a good starter hand coffee grinder. If you aren't sure about going manual, give it a shot.

Nicely made and works seamlessly. It’s well machined with all parts fitting together snugly and properly. I found it to be easy to operate and choose the grinding size. The ample Handel makes for easy coffee grinding.Alas it’s a one trick pony- - I had hoped it was completely washable though, so I could switch between coffee and dry herbs, or seeds. It is not that easy to access the inner workings to brush/clean them out. And the say the grinder part is not washable….It will be our emergency coffee grinder in case of power loss or to use camping.

Very high quality.Used it with dark roast beans and this is great for pour over or French press.It's a coarse grind and not to be used with espresso machines.It's easy to grind and put together. It looks really nice and it has a nice weight to it.

I’ve confirmed that this grinder can handle up to 25 grams of coffee beans at a time. For my Keurig, I typically grind two tablespoons (about 11g) of beans at a setting of 25 clicks from fully closed. The grinding process takes about 30 seconds and is pretty straightforward.The build quality is solid, thanks to its all-metal construction. While it’s definitely portable, I wouldn’t bring it backpacking since it weighs 569 grams.Disassembly for cleaning is simple, though not something I’d do daily. To take it apart, just turn the adjustment knob counterclockwise until it detaches. You can then slide the internal components out for brushing or wiping. Note that it shouldn’t be rinsed with water. You can use coffee grinder cleaning beads to help remove any oil buildup. I couldn’t fit the brush in the top section to clean out all the coffee dust, so had to blow that out.Reassembly is also easy—turn the knob fully clockwise to close it, then adjust clockwise again by 10 to 32 clicks depending on your desired grind size. Keep in mind there are no markings to indicate coarse or fine settings like other grinders, so you’ll need to remember the direction and number of clicks for your preferred grind.The grind quality I felt is acceptable with a few large pieces in the grind. The attached picture is at 14 clicks.
