PARACITY Manual Coffee Bean Grinder Stainless Steel Hand Mill Ceramic Burr for Aeropress, Drip Coffee, Espresso, French Press, Turkish Brew, for gift

Cool little thing, takes a while, but does the job!
I really like this hand crank coffee grinder, it has a dial to adjust how coarse you want your grounds to be, and is relatively simple to assemble, use, and clean. It does take a long time to grind the coffee, but that’s expected as it only can go as fast as your arms can! Lol

Gets the job done at an exceptional price.
I enjoy making coffee in my sailboat and try to keep the use of power down. I bought the PARACITY Manual Coffee Bean Grinder because whole beans keep better than ground coffee, this grinder uses no power, and the price was great. I was apprehensive because of the price but the grinder does everything I would want from a grinder. The texture is easily adjustable, it has plenty of capacity to make enough grounds for my normal 30 oz tumbler of coffee, and it grinds easily. I cannot speak to reliability as I’ve only had the grinder for a few days but I am very happy with this purchase so far. The product could be improved with some 1/4 or 1/8 turn threads to hold the bottom grounds container and the lid on and maybe the same for the handle but I have had no trouble with any of it staying together in use as is.

broke immediately
This grinder broke immediately. I had it for one week, and it broke while I was camping. I fixed one problem with a metal nut. Then something else broke beyond repair, though I tried to repair with super glue. Would love to contact Paricity customer service about a refund or replacement, but I can’t find a way to contact this company.

Cons outweigh Pros
For a cheap pretty easy to use product, not much should be expected. But with no definite way of knowing your grind size with the off center blades and no numerical labels for what grind you’re using, it ends up being a frustrating experience. The grinder ships with its blades off center and after an attempt to realign it fixes nothing and just reverts back to its original, off center, position. That along side with taking guesses at what size is correct for grind, makes for inconsistent coffee. I was using mine to grind beans for espresso, but with no way of being able to tell what exact size I’m grinding, along with the blades being off center, no matter what my grounds were inconsistent and a mystery if I should go smaller for a setting or not. I would not recommend this for anyone unless you need something quick, or consistency is not a factor you’re looking into.

There are many, many identical manual grinders here – if the picture looks the same as this one then it will be the same grinder, despite the range of ratings and reviews, and the occasional logo on the side. Pick the cheapest and enjoy. I have two and have used them for 3-4 years now without a problem. Yes, it takes a while to grind 18g (typical Aeropress dose) or 30g (recommended dose) of your favourite beans. Especially with a finer grind. But it does work, it won’t wake the neighbourhood, and it fits in your Aeropress for travel. Some report that the burrs can break, though that hasn’t happened with mine. Use fresh beans, best within 1-2 months of roasting, and you should be good. Use cheap or old beans, especially with lighter roasts (e.g. Barzula Gold tastes great, but checks all the wrong boxes), and they can cause problems with any grinder. Sure, you need to adjust the dial more than some, it tends to slip towards a coarse grind. Use a thick rubber band – the ones from broccoli work well – to keep the handle and body together. Not much more to say. Hope this helps!

Der extem einfache Aufbau aus wenigen Teilen lässt sich herrlich zerlegen, reinigen und einstellen, mahlt wundervoll.A B E R : V O R S I C H T : Nicht geeignet für Kunden mit erheblich eingeschränkten kognitiven Fähigkeiten (siehe Rezension MacGucky) – die Mühle ist letzen Endes eine wunderschöne, super einfache technische Lösung (und das macht ihre Eleganz aus) aber nicht komplett komplett komplett Idiotensicher.

Como molinillo pequeño y manual, para moler café para una taza o incluso dos, muy bien, pero lo de seleccionar el grosor de la molienda, fatal.No lleva marcas y no sabes el grosor seleccionado hasta que ves el café ya molido. Solo por eso, no lo compraría otra vez , porque no me sirve bien para lo que quería.
