Good quality. Didn’t want an electric grinder again.(didn’t want to wake up the fam at 4am) This grinder is perfect for making a half pot of coffee. If you want a full pot you’ll have to grind a 2nd round. It has a sight window, quality aluminum construction, would buy again.

Amazing manual grinder for the price
I have been looking for a manual coffee grinder to use with my camping pour over set but the grinder that was recommended retails for $160!!! While I LOVE my coffee, that is too much for me to spend on something I will not use all the time so I have been on the lookout for something comparable at a more affordable price. When I saw this grinder, I was shocked that it retails for only $16!!!With such a low price, I was cautiously optimistic. After receiving and inspecting the unit, it looks good for such an affordable price. The biggest issue is that all the caps and cups are held on purely by friction so you have to be aware and hold everything together or things can separate and fall out. Aside from that, the grinder seems to work very nicely.I tried to get a couple of different grinds, from coarse drip over to finer french press to very fine espresso and the grinder seemed to do a pretty good job at it. There is some trial and error to get the right setting since there is no way to accurately gauge what setting you are at. For me I will find the setting and leave it there. I don’t plan on making different grinds while I’m at the campsite.The biggest issue I found is that I am literally using the finest setting right before the inner and outer cones start to collide to get the espresso grind I was looking for. There is no stop to prevent you running the two cones together too closely and that will cause irreparable damage to the two ceramic grinding surfaces. That will also likely leave ceramic bits in with your coffee. My suggestion is if you are going for a very fine grind, test and slowly advance the screw. If you feel unnattural resistance, stop and back it off.Suffice to say, this is a great value and works well for the low retail price of $16. The best part for me is that this grinder will come apart and fit inside my camping pour over set in the same place that their $160+ grinder is meant to reside.

All metal body with viewing window, removable handle securely sits on shaft, just pull to open
This is a great manual coffee grinder which uses a hard shaped conical ceramic burr (like a sphere) as the grinding element. I’ve used an electric rotary blade coffee grinder, which results in uneven sized pieces of ground coffee bean. After learning that a grinder that uses a burr grinder is superior to a flat bladed rotary grinder, I purchased an all clear acrylic manual grinder. That one worked well but had a major flaw and several minor flaws when compared to this grinder. The all clear grinder when rotated by hand would break off tiny bits of the clear plastic/acrylic cylinder body of the grinder. Those bits of plastic fell into the ground coffee. The minor flaw with that design was that the handle needed to be secured in place with a nut, and access to the beans required screwing a top component in place. Without the top nut, the handle would pop off the shaft when rotated.In comparison this all metal grinder has none of those issues. The main vertical shaft upon which the hand will be placed is a five sided shaped vertical shaft. This shaft protrudes far enough up, that when the grinder is capped, the handle sits on onto this shaft very securely and no securing nut needs to be used. So, the handle can be quickly put in place or removed. To load beans, the top just needs to be pull up and off, no screwing of a lid piece is needed. To access ground beans, just pull up the body of the grinder from the bottom tube, no screwing required. This is very convenient and the clear peep-hole allow you to view the resulting ground beans as you go. As with all burr type grinders you will need to use some time to set how tight you screw adjust the burr. Once that is done, it will require infrequent readjustments. Helpful brief instructions discuss the burr adjustment and the warning to never turn you loaded grinder in a counter clockwise direction.
