Works great but does take a while to grind down the coffee since it grinds it so fine.

Best value in a coffee grinder PERIOD! DON'T THINK,BUY

Great coffee grinder! It takes a little muscle to grind, but the results from whole beans to finely ground espresso powder for my Bialetti Moka Express are superb.

VERY nice. The unit is smaller than I thought and makes enough grounds for about one cup at a time. It has a simple, well made design and it is easy to clean. If you are looking for a simple unit for more control over the grounds you make this is the unit! UPDATE: 7/4/17 I purchased the item almost a year ago to date and wanted to give people an update. I have changed my rating from 5 stars to 4. CONS 1) The price: DO NO PAY FULL PRICE FOR THIS GRINDER. Right now it is going for about 10 dollars. I paid about 40+; I would not pay that price again. Based on quality of the item and the level of upkeep needed. In my opinion a reasonable price would be around 25-30 dollars, no more. 2) Quality: RUST RUST RUST. Metal on Metal gearing with no bearings or lubricant. If you air dry this unit you will wake up to rust on the grinder shaft and the part of the grinder you insert it into. I am currently using coconut oil as a lubricant after I wash it; no issues so far with the oil. ***I DO NOT ADVOCATE OR ENCOURAGE THE DISASSEMBLY OF THIS PRODUCT. DOING SO MAY VOID ANY MANUFACTURER WARRANTIES*** The following review are strictly my personal opinion regarding my personal experience with this product. 3) Cleaning: To REALLY clean this unit, in my opinion, you have to COMPLETELY DISASSEMBLE IT. The "grinder" top end is 4 pieces: the cup/shaft tower, a graduated spacer in the middle, bottom end and the ceramic burr. These pieces are connected with 2 long screws that need to be disconnected. Why? I did not realize this at first, but between the middle graduated part and the base that connects to the grind holder there is a area that is about a quarter inch high and about half and inch deep (See the 3rd picture I included with this review. It shows the part of the grinder that attaches to the grind hold and the graduated spacer; you can clearly see the space in between). As the beans/grinders fall into the grinder, a lot are PUSHED into this area durin.....

I wanted a product with no plastics. I use this daily and absolutely love it.

A perfect product for me. I love that it's so quiet. It's a recipe for stress and domestic distress. Instead, I enjoy the quiet rhythmic crunching as I turn the handle, a countdown to that glorious first cup of the day. But even more, I love that there is no sludge in the bottom of my coffee cup. This burr grinder gives a consistent, even grind with no dusty over-processed coffee powder, so my coffee is clean and smooth and flavorful. Bonus: the grounds rinse out of my french press much more easily too, because there is no fine muddy sludge to bind them together. If you like good coffee and have a minute or two to kill while the water heats, you really should give this a try. Alternately, you can make the kids grind your coffee for you and you'll experience improved coffee without feeling the burden of increased labor.

I was extremely pleased with both the quality and construction of the grinder. Filled my grinding needs perfectly.

This is a nicely constructed grinder, all quality stainless steel except for the stone,i find it's easier to use without the silicone gasket,i found it grinds coffee beans on the fine side,i will see if I can grind seeds in it also, It does take some effort to use one of these manual grinders,i like the quality, large size,nice look,love it! lisa

This product works well. I use it to grind one or two cups worth of coffee every morning for my french press. The grinder functions smooth and the mechanism for changing the coarseness of the grind is also easy to set. The entire grinder itself is very sturdy. Sometimes when I am in a rush, I can actually use my drill and attach it to the screw at the top and turn it into a power grinder. I highly recommend this product to anyone contemplating the purchase of a manual coffee grinder. It is a very enjoyable way to begin your day, grinding coffee and breathing in the smell of fresh crushed beans. I took one star off because the base of the grinder is also metal, which does not provide much traction. If there was a grippy material on the bottom I would give this five stars.

I love my coffee. The best pot of coffee has 2/3 regular beans, supplemented with 1/3 dark chocolate flavored beans. I mix them in the coffee filter. I buy the regular coffee already ground, but the chocolate beans are something special. I hand grind those beans each morning. My new grinder has an open top bin for the beans. Finally a grinder built for a real coffee drinker. The open top is covered by a rubber stopper to keep your beans in. The long handle offers a tight and smooth grind when you turn it. The base is weighted so it is well balanced and won't tip easily. The collection bin is large enough to hold grind for a few pots of coffee. The grinder and bin below separate easily with a twist. The top locks into the bottom. Quality stainless steel grinder will last for years, even with my daily use. The grind is fine as frog hair. That's pretty fine! I was given a discount in exchange for an honest review. I consider quality of materials, workmanship, safety, and ease of use when evaluating each product. I appreciate all questions and comments.
