" ... Fresh ground coffee beans that are more evenly ground compared to some electric grinders. ... "
" ... excellent taste improvement over my pre ground coffee for hario v60 brew. ... "
" ... Grinds the coffee exactly as you want with an easy adjustment. ... "
" ... got this for my husband who loves coffee and he enjoys using this. ... but you do have to be strong to grind the coffee. ... "
" ... My wife loves this for her espresso machine- and I love it too, because she keeps making me the best, freshest coffee. ... "
" ... Ok for coffee. ... "
" ... It's easy to get a consistent moderately coarse grind for our pour-over coffee making device. ... "

" ... Product appears to be good quality (Japanese made? ... "
" ... It uses a well-made ceramic mill. ... I like that the handle is attached securely by a knurled nut. ... "
" ... Build quality is very good, and the bean chamber comes with a cover so the beans don't jump out when you are grinding. ... "
" ... Grinds very nicely, just need to keep the nut on the handle tightened . ... "
" ... This isn't a fragile piece by any means but the detailed break down helps give an appreciation for how simple it's construction is. ... "
" ... I dropped and broke the glass container. ... "
" ... It's consistent every time, and I'm sure the conical ceramic burr is going to last me a lifetime of use. ... "
" ... same quality on finest settings but much easier to operate plus no crappy plastic which broke on the italian one (also cheaper than the italian mill). ... "

Fit

" ... Around May of 2018 the arm of the lever stopped fitting into the metal mechanism at the center of the unit, making it impossible to grind the coffee beans. ... The arm is not bent and the mechanism appears to be in working order, but it continues to slip and will not engage the grinding mechanism when I try to crank the arm. ... "
" ... Also - the mechanisms are quite "jiggly" and loose. ... "
" ... Even with the rubber sleeve on the base, the jar moves and tips while grinding. ... "
" ... but ( at least in my case), the center burr is not perfectly aligned with the axle. ... "
" ... The worst feature is that the handle loosens from its attachment point in just a few turns, making it useless for grinding until tightened, and it loosens again a few seconds later. ... "
" ... The bean holder does not hold 100g. ... "
" ... It is mostly plastic, and the handle comes loose often. ... "
" ... So, it cannot work without the stopper fixing the position movable parts. ... "

" ... I can see how the previous one might have had a burr that wobbled and, without a cover, probably spilled beans everywhere. ... "
" ... Easy to clean, great for travel, no electricity required, and most importantly the coffee is excellent! ... "
" ... Really top quality, well made, easy to use and keep clean. ... "
" ... Cleans up easy. ... "
" ... It's easy to adjust and clean. ... "
" ... This one is so easy to clean. ... "
" ... The grinder itself is easy to understand, easy to clean and should last for years considering the materials that get the hard work are steel and ceramic. ... "
" ... It's pretty good - the challenge is the grind setting but it cleans easy - works as expected - If you fill the basin up it does take about 10 min to grind all that coffee but that's enough grain for a week if you enjoy 2 espressos a day. ... "

" ... The mechanism is well designed, and the silicone parts make it easy to use on a hard countertop. ... "
" ... I still use the provided container for the grounds but it also fits a standard mason jar. ... "
" ... The included jar will hold about 100g of ground coffee and comes with an airtight cap for convenient storage. ... "
