The grinder works really well. Because of the long handle, it doesn't take long to grind a full chamber of beans. I use an Aeropress XL, and the chamber of this grinder holds exactly two level Aeropress measuring spoons of beans, so it holds about 5 tablespoons of coffee beans in total. The only issue I have is that the text on the metal where you adjust the grinding size is on the wrong part of the grinder. It's on the main body of the grinder. However, the entire grinder component rotates, so as you are turning the adjustment knob to adjust the grind size, the adjustment knob never correlates to the "fine" and "course" words printed on the body if the grinder. This means that you are determining the perfect grind size by trial and error. Once you get it the way you want it, you don't have to mess with it, unless you change how you are brewing for that day. I am considering using a paint pen to mark my favorite grind size, but I am worried the smell of the paint will mess up the smell and taste of my coffee.
well made but takes too long to crank to get grounds
It works great. It does a much more consistent job of grinding the bean than our old Braun electric grinder. It's brought our coffee experience up a notch.
Works consistently for a quality grind! Love the aesthetics, too
My first manual grinder. Easy to use and very sturdy.
