Mehhh, Bascially a Pepper Mill With a Catch Container
Mehhh, Basically a Pepper Mill With a Catch Container. Be prepared to grind for a while but in a pinch or on a budget this is fine. They do have a tendency to break at the inner stem (I’ve been through 3 now over the years). Is a $300 electric with bump-on better, yeah, of course, but this will get the job done if you are new to the craft and don’t want to break the bank. I say that but I will also say that you can use any pepper mill to accomplish the task if you already have one. This price is cheap though so caff up and enjoy.

Excellent Grinder for Smaller Quantities
This compact grinder is incredibly straightforward to use for smaller quantities of bean grinding. It feels incredibly well built and the glass container is nice, it is easy to grip and it is steady during the grind and cleaning. If you do a large quantity of grinding, just know it will take some time, mitigate your expectations. Insert beans, grind beans, use grounds to make coffee and then clean the grinder, that sums up its elegant simplicity and it works well to execute on that process. The cleaning is where you need pay the most attention and give the most effort. It has the instructions to assemble and disassemble the grinding mechanism and it needs to be done to really clean it for storage. The only pieces that are not that straightforward are these black washer like pieces that go on the top and bottom of the rod before proceeding with the rest of the reassembly. I have added a photo of the difficult to visualize location for the bottom one. I say all that because they don’t just fall out when disassembling. They can stay in there because you think they are not going anywhere on first glance. All the sudden a piece can drop out and you are left guessing where it may have fallen out of in the grinder. Just be diligent and present when cleaning it and line up your parts in order of assembly when cleaning and drying them to save yourself any grief later. This is your grinder. There are many like it, but this one is yours.

A bit bulky but works great!
Love that the mill itself is made of ceramic and the receiving cup, glass. Perfect portion, too. I just hope the handle was collapsible, not just removable as it’s pretty bulky and takes up space when not using. By only being removable, there’s risk losing the part. If it was collapsible, it would have been quite travel friendly, too.

Ok, could be better
I suppose I should start by saying that this manual grinder does do what it’s supposed to. At the end of the day, I did have ground coffee.It’s ideal for small batches- perfect for my pour over set up, phin, or small French press. And it does have the ability to adjust the grind for different purposes. However, the grind adjustment does fall short bc the indicator looks like you have far fewer grind options than you actually do. I made too fine a grind on my first test of it, but later realized that it can go past the point that appears to be the coarsest options. Adjustment is easy, but the reading is misleading.This is my first manual grinder, so I’m not sure if the amount of turns I needed to complete the grinding was actually excessive or if it just felt that way. It’s a bit annoying that the top doesn’t actually affix to the body; it’s very easy to accidentally pull the top off by the handle while grinding. The bottom does attach very securely though, so my coffee grounds were secured.The instructions are easy to follow, and it comes with a tiny detail brush for cleaning.Overall it’s not bad for the discount price (about $15 at the time of order). But I think it would be far improved with a solid lid and better indicator of the grind.
