I really love this grinder. My household includes pets and people with sensory issues (myself included), and let’s be real—firing up an electric burr grinder in the quiet of an early morning feels like cruel and unusual punishment. There have even been times I’ve snuck out of the house to buy a cup of coffee, rather than blast that noise. 😅This little hand grinder is quiet, travel-friendly, and even comes with a storage bag. But honestly, it’s just a lifesaver for kinder, gentler, sensory-friendly mornings at home.What I Love:✔ Solid and feels well-made. Screws and unscrews smoothly, and the materials seem durable & high quality.✔ No heat buildup – Unlike some electric grinders, this won’t potentially mess with coffee's flavor.✔ Holds around 20-25g of beans – Keep in mind, bean weight varies by roast (lighter roasts = more water molecules, thus denser/heavier). For reference, this holds ~20g of my current medium-roast Antigua beans, which brews a 12oz (Tall) pour-over at my preferred strength.✔ Grind quality seems good, my upper body strength is mediocre and I found it easy to operate.✔ Great for travel – Compact, easy to store, and doesn’t take up much space.A Couple Quirks:- The wooden handle is a weakness. It’s supposed to be magnetic, but it’s super loose and has zero holding power. If I grind too fast, it literally flies off the handle 😂.- Adjustable grind settings aren’t super clear IMO. There’s no easy way to tell which setting you’re on unless you remember. I got a little overzealous experimenting and loosened it too much and the whole thing flung apart. Cue mild panic mode until I figured out how to re-assemble. That said, grind size is best judged by eye anyway—just adjust a few clicks at a time until you get what you want.TLDR: If you’re looking for a travel-friendly coffee grinder—or if you just want to avoid the jarring roar of an electric grinder, this is a great choice. Just be mindful of the handle and take it slow when adjusting the grind.

The issue here is how fussy/partcular you are about the coffee you make.If you are obsessive about it, then this grinder is not for you.But if you are looking for a basic hand grinder and not too fussy about the grind settings and consistency, say, for camping and/or french press, this grinder will work well enough.Negatives:> the wood knob falls off easily - you have to keep pressure on it to keep it in place> the threads on the top and bottom parts are crudely chased, making it a bit tricky to screw them solidly back on, and seem pretty sharp> the grinds are also hard to 'dial in' but seem to be pretty repeatable once set> I found no real issues with grind size range, if you are not too fussy about consistency across the 'grind'.> can take a while to grind a full (6 cups worth) hopper of beans> unknown longevity - the mill components may not hold up for long? (speculation)> it doesn't 'store' in the box it comes in, as the knob sits seperately (minor)The positives:> inexpensive!> No power required :)> Is good for basic coffee; not sure I'd use it for use with an espresso machine...but will try it soon.> Would make an excellent backup for other grinders....Recommended, with reservations.I have another one, which sells for about 2-3 times the price, which avoids all the negatives, above, so if you must have more consistent grind size, you'll need to spend more.

I have high end manual grinders like the $200 J Ultra, $260 K Ultra and $475 Pietro - and while this grinder certainly can’t compete with the aforementioned, for the money it is a solid grinder for filter coffee. It excels most with medium to dark roasted coffees, grinds very quickly and efficiently, and while it does create a decent amount of fines - it still offers reasonable clarity.If you’re looking for an inexpensive travel grinders, or something to take to work to grind sub $25/lb coffee - this is fine. If you’re looking for an espresso grinder, or something for ultra light, exotic $100/lb Gesha, this isn’t going to cut it.

This is a great manual grinder. Has a generous reservoir for ground coffee, however, I am using it as a spice grinder instead, and have loaded it with whole cloves.The adjustment wheel on the burr is clearly marked so as to make it easy to change grind size. The handle pops off for easy storage -- I suppose I would have preferred if the handle folded back so that it stayed on the grinder. The grinder comes with a pouch/sleeve for storage. The pouch/sleeve is made of a gray velour material.The grinder has a very good range of grind sizes. Before settling on using it for cloves, I was able to grind pepper to a fine powder. I also tried salt in the grinder and it was even more effective in getting the salt to a powder. More course grinds, of course are also possible and are easier to do and faster to grind.The grinder is able to grind large quantities salt, pepper, and clove very quickly. I was able to prepare 1/8 cup (2 TB) of pepper in about 30 seconds of grinding. I am glad that the grinder has such a generous reservoir in it for storing the ground spices. The reservoir is definitely not big enough to store a load of coffee for my drip grinder (63 grams) I figure the reservoir can handle about 30 grams or so of coffee, so I would need to do the grinding in two loads, or I could remove the reservoir and grind the coffee into a bowl or the coffee filter, but then I would be risking making a mess, as my aim is not great. I thus concluded that the grinder would just do my clove spices. For that it is excellent, and I do use a lot of clove in my meals and beverages.The grinder is fairly light weight and easy to manage. It really is a joy to use.
