“I was both pleased and surprised of the quality hand burr grinder. It perfectly grinds coffee to precise and preferred levels for espresso or coarse for drip. I prefer #6 for espresso and Americano. The grind container is actually glass not plastic! Turning the grinder is easy as the handle is correctly sized. It takes a couple minutes to grind a double espresso, but well worth the effort.”

“This coffee grinder is great for small servings. If you are making a 12 cup pot you might want a larger grinder or know you will have to fill this one a few times. I have read articles about making a great cup of coffee but while they will tell you to weigh the coffee down to the tenth of a gram and carefully measure the water down to the precise millilitre they don't tend to stress grind. Just fine medium or coarse depending on your brew method. This grinder has excellant control over how coarse a grind you will get. You can buy the same beans from your roaster and not really get the same bean. I like Ethiopian beans, but one order may have come from a different plantaion or the next may have been roasted under different weather conditions. The control over the grind lets you correct your coffee. Not smooth enough, go a little coarser. Not getting enough boldness, try finer. You will find that one roast of beans works best with a grind setting of 20, the next from the same geographic region and roaster may need a 17 setting. Not to mention a morning where you just need a something different and want to go for a large setting change. This little grinder works well for these kind of grind changes. Gives you great control over what taste you are going to end up with and seems durable after 3 monthes use. It was a purchase where I got the value I paid for.”

“If you’re into single‑cup pour‑over and secretly want to justify skipping arm day, this grinder is your new personal trainer. Sure, it only holds about 20g of beans, but trust me—once you start cranking, you’ll be grateful you’re not fueling a whole pot. This thing turns “making coffee” into light morning calisthenics. I’ve actually replaced part of my morning workout with bean‑grinding reps. With this, you can grind your way to caffeine and toned forearms at the same time? With 40 grind settings, anything below 20 becomes a full‑blown resistance exercise. But seriously, I do like this grinder and appreciate the simplicity and peace of manually grinding my own beans. It's a relaxing morning ritual at this point. Pro tip: once the beans settle into the burrs, changing the grind setting becomes a challenge, so dial it in before you start cranking unless you enjoy mid‑grind wrestling matches. The payoff? Beautifully consistent grounds and a peaceful, whisper‑quiet morning routine—no more electric‑grinder chaos. Just you, your grinder, and the satisfying knowledge that your coffee ritual now counts as strength training.”
