Comparing to Hario Slim, this is much faster and easier to grip. After using for a while, noticed a few major flaws that negatively affect the quality of grind. Both burr were misaligned, resulting in inconsistent grind size. The nut that hold the handle in place also got misaligned after using for a while and cannot be rectified without using hand tool. Looked closely, the burr is chipped at 2 locations.

Die KaffeemÃ¼hle tut exakt das was sie tun soll nÃ¤mlich Kaffee malen. Das ganze ist sehr entspannend und beruhigend da es langsam geht toll ist der AuffangbehÃ¤lter mit Deckel in dem sich der gemahlene Kaffee sehr gut aufbewahren lÃ¤sst.

It’s a perfect hand grinder. It’s consistent and easy to use. Gives a good fine grind. However it’s good only for a cup or so because it takes a lot of effort and hence very tiring. Nevertheless it meets my need for a fresh brewed morning cup of coffee.

Works great and has a hidden feature
The hidden feature is the attachment thing for the crank is essentially a hex nut. If you get a 7 mm (if I remember right) hex adapter for your cordless drill and run the drill on slow speed, you can avoid the tedious manual cranking, even during a power outage.

Works great
Used this every morning for a year for my french press. Not gonna lie I kind of miss it since moving on to a automatic grinder.

A Quirky Workhorse
I got this because it came up again and again when I Googled “best manual coffee grinders.” It replaced a cheap cylindrical metal grinder made in China, which broke after a month, so that’s all I have to compare it to.The best thing about it is the wide hopper. It grinds more coffee at a time, and therefore it grinds fast — 4 tablespoons of beans in 1-2 minutes, versus 4-5 minutes with my old grinder. It’s easy to take apart and put together. It’s fairly easy to clean, again because of the wide hopper, but you will need a bottle brush to get every nook and cranny. It may take practice to find the grind adjustment that suits your preference, but once you do, it’s easy to set it again after you wash it.The drawback of the wide hopper is that the waist of the grinder is too big for the average female hand. It’s easy to lose your grip on it. After dropping it once, I started holding it braced against my body, to keep a better grip on it, and over a kitchen counter, as well, so it wouldn’t have far to fall.It has other drawbacks. Grinding coffee gives it a static charge. That didn’t matter with my old metal grinder, but it makes the coffee stick to the glass receptacle of the Hario. I have to hit the receptacle against the counter or with a knife handle to get all the coffee out. The rubber skirt of the receptacle, intended to cushion the glass against breaking, tends to just fall off.And it has one major design flaw: Grinding loosens the nut that holds the handle on. I discovered this when the nut just flew off mid-grind. Now, after every 20-30 seconds of grinding, I stop to retighten the nut.Bottom line, I don’t understand why it keeps getting on “10 best” lists. It has its flaws. However, once you get used to it, it’s a sturdy, hard-working grinder that makes delicious coffee.Pro tip: My cell phone translation app translated the Japanese instructions, no problem.

Great product as expected
Works awesome! Got it to go with a pour over coffee setup i bought my wife for christmas. It is easy to set up for the proper grind, easy to clean, and looks very nice on out countertop. Grinding by hand is a new thing that will take a bit of getting used to, but it makes the process fun. Cant wait to bring it camping!

Seems nice but no instructions in English on assembly or settings.
Grinder seems to be sturdy and hopeful to last a while. I do wish it came with English instructions and not only foreign Asian instructions.

A cathartic experience
It takes a little time to fill up the glass jar, just go slow and steady. I used google translate for the instruction sheet and adjusting the grind level was no problem. You can also go to youtube for instructional videos
