Passable
Works well as a grinder, not necessarily perfect for coffee as the grinder itself is plastic not a blade of any sort and be prepared to grind for a while, would not recommend for people with wrist pain or arthritis. As for compactness it’s not overly space-consuming and is easy to clean. There is no way to really adjust the grind, so there is limited functionality.

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.

Economic grinder on-the-go
Iâm not a coffee drinker, so my use is a little different. I reuse my eggshells for the garden and animal feed. I bake them in the toaster oven for about 10 min so they become brittle, then smash them up to bits.The bits themself are a little too coarse to break down easily, so the grinder comes in handy.The capacity is pretty small, but eggshells donât fill much space when pulverized; I can grind 6 shells at a go with this guy.Iâve seen other reviews here talk about the build quality- The body and grips are made of a plastic thatâs thick, well-formed, and to me, seems of a durable sort. The jar at the bottom is glass, and the stem of the handle is metal. I feel like this could last a loooong time as long as you donât go crazy with it, and it doesnât look cheap at all.The weird part of the design is that the base of the hand is also the lid. You canât pick up the unit from the handle or else the bottom half will fall off. Hasnât been a problem for me, but I see how it could for some people. I feel like they did this so it can be packed down smaller for travel.Also, the handle is pretty long for me (Iâm 5â2â). Maybe Iâve got little t-rex arms, but I feel like I have to reach about an inch or two longer than feels natural for my to get a full grind rotation in. I can manage it better holding the unit at a 45 degree angle, but then the contents donât feed well into the grinder.The grinder itself does its job. Imâm able to, on the finest setting, grind eggshells down to a gritty powder, but it takes me two or three passes.

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.

Works Well
I use this to grind vitamin c into a powder to pull color from my hair. I’m trying to gently pull the old color as I go grey. This allows me to grind the vitamin c very fine to mix with shampoo. I do grind my own beans as well, and this would do that well also. Holds a good amount, you’d be able to get a good amount of coffee out of it.

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.

Old school coffee grinder is great
Reminds me of sitting with my grandmother as a kid and her giving me the task of grinding up coffee beans for a morning cup of Joe.Well made and extremely easy to use at a great price.

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.
