Enjoy
Note: I only use this with my french press.Like whoa. This is the way to go if you grind for yourself and have even minor arm strength. Imagine a pepper grinder, with a handle and instead of it coming out of the bottom it collects in the lower portion of itself. You can put a few cups worth of beans in here (depending on your method / ratios) and then spend half to probably a full minute grinding it all up. I can see why people don’t like how long it takes to grind but I make one cup at a time and it doesn’t bother me at all. The few times I’ve filled it with beans it took quite a while (a minute or so) but the effort is small compared to how useful and cheap this thing is!!Not perfectly consistent grind, mostly because the outer ceramic burr is allowed to float (probably to keep the stresses low) but that means it will frequently offset itself relative to the center burr (which is fixed in place by the shaft) which creates a vary gap (two circles that aren’t concentric). However, I do not find this to be a problem even with my french press because I just go for a coarse grind, maybe just a tad too coarse and I don’t have any real problems with sediment (it’s there, but not a lot and easily avoided). If i start dialing down the grind to what I feel is pretty small for a french press then the consistency gets worse and I get more sediment. Still not terrible, but to avoid this I just keep it a little more coarse (couple of clicks).I wish there was a more consistent way to dial in the grind after taking it apart, which you will need to do in order to clean it. The technique is to fully tighten the adjustent thumb nut when putting it back together. The small issue is that the burs are ceramic and you need to sort of push them into each other a bit in order to get the nut to “fully” tight. If you don’t push the burrs together then sometimes they will align differently which means the nut will actually be a couple of clicks away from “fully” tight, so when you count off the clicks to your preferred grind size you will be off. In reality, this just means grinding a few beans after you re-assemble to double check the grind (you can seriously put 6 beans in and check it before you grind enough for your cup). Or, if you push the burrs together a bit then you can pretty much just rely on counting the clicks (-8I have not had this thing forever, but I expect it to last for a LONG time to come. Quality stainless steel, ceramic, and plastic construction. Simple elegant design with nice consistency for coarse french press (again, that’s all I use it for) .Also, really small. Again, pepper grinder size, but less than 12″ long and the handle easily comes off (you have to remove the handle to open the lid, but that ensures that the list is fully closed when you’re grinding, so there is ZERO dust that comes out while grinding or when closed).For $40 you cannot go wrong with this thing unless your arms are weak. If you have no arm strength (for whatever reason) this is not for you, but it’s really not hard to grind if you ask me (-8 Super small, easy to use, and portable.

This thing keeps impressing me with new features time and again!
This grinder is everything I expected from Japanese manufacturing. First of all, it’s worth noting that the construction is very simple. I don’t doubt that this is the biggest reason for why it’s so easy to use and has such tremendous reliability. I’ve been using it every day, and predict that aside from some unfortunate accident, it would be darn near impossible to damage this thing. The assembly is super rudimentary, and the burr mechanism consists of some 3 moving parts.The casing is brushed stainless steel, and the handle a stainless rod with a wing nut attachment that does not secure to the top. At first, I thought this was strange, but after a few uses understood its wisdom – it eliminates the extra step of having to assemble and disassemble the thing for storage in between uses. Just pop it on, grind, and pop it off. The downward pressure of your hand resting on the knob keeps the wing nut in its place. Again, simple. I now keep a fat rubber band around the top half of the device to stick the grinding rod behind when I’m keeping it in the drawer.The grind is easily adjustable with a turn of the inner screw on the burr mechanism. There are no settings, per se, but it’s easy to tell the difference – all the way out (loosest) is coarsest, all the way in (tightest) is finest. You’ll have no trouble understanding this when you’re holding the grinder in your hand. I was honestly surprised/impressed by how fine the finest setting can go. We’re talking not just espresso grind but freakin’ micro-powdered particle dust. If you threw it in the air it would probably stay there indefinitely!The capacity was another surprise – the description stated 30 grams, but I filled it all the way to the top to test it and found it was more like 45 grams. Probably depends somewhat on the type of beans you use. This is a LOT of grinding, don’t get me wrong, so if you’re planning to use this for multiple servings, I’d suggest you start exercising your forearms right away… My 20 gram morning serving takes approximately 240 full 360-degree revolutions to process. While this sounds ridiculous, and I was certainly sketched out at first (Holy crap, I have to do this for every cup?), I’ve actually come to enjoy it as part of my routine. The darn thing grinds so nicely and consistently by feel that, combined with that fresh coffee smell first thing in the morning, it actually helps wake me up and get on with it. Beware that if you’re always in a rush or impatient in general, this might not be for you…Lastly, I’ll say that while the price is high (you can get a plastic casing grinder for around half) the stainless body is worth the stretch. For one thing, if you treat it kindly you’ll never ever have to buy another one. Apart from that, it just feels solid in the hand and has the appearance and grace of a top quality product. You might one day regret buying a plastic piece, but I guarantee you will never regret the extra fifteen-twenty bucks you put into this one. Lastly, it’s quite smaller than I pictured at first, so it’s good for travel – at about the size of a medium can of shaving gel.

The genuine article – worth the cost!
Obviously a high quality product, genuine branded article with instruction sheet in Japanese, English and French. Exploded parts diagram is in English and Japanese. The ceramic burr is accurately milled and the entire piece is well-crafted. Takes a little while to get used to the effort and bit of time required to manually grind, but actually this is a good thing to incorporate into my morning coffee ritual. The handle is easy to lift off from the slotted attachment point for storage on a shelf or in a drawer, and seems to be quite secure while in use for the grind. (I added a couple photos to show the details on this, since it seems to have been an issue in the past.) Relatively easy to take apart, wash and reassemble, but I see no reason to do this very often, I probably will take it apart and give it a good soapy wash only every few months to prevent rancid coffee bean residue build-up.So here we are almost 2 years later. Grinder is working fine, but I have never really seen the need to wash it. So I continue to use it nearly daily for grinding about 19g of beans. Grind setting stays put, handle attachment is solid. Continue to highly recommend!Update again as of January 2022: Still working great, no issues. Continue to highly recommend. We do have a couple wide rubber bands wrapped around the body to make it easier to hold and grip while grinding.
