“Good build quality. Feels very sturdy. Case and internal are made of metal. Easy to use and produces uniformly ground coffee.”
“I have been using this hand grinder for almost 2 months. I love the consistency of the grind that I get for my espresso, and I love how easy it is to clean afterwards. I definitely recommend this to anyone considering a high-quality hand grinder with great aesthetics at a budget price. You will get a little bit of a workout, as it takes about 45 seconds to grind 16g of beans.”
“This thing is excellent. It makes grinding coffee easy and accurate each time. After looking through reviews and comparisons for days, this one made the most sense for budget and functionality.”
