I had one of those cheap Mr Coffee electric grinder and didn’t enjoyed it all that much since I had no control on the grind. After a lot of research I found that this was the best design and value for the money (there’s a cheaper Hario, but its grind is ceramic which means it’s less precise and it’s mostly plastic that is less pleasing aesthetically for me), since it has a metal grinder and a lot of steps to control the size of it. With my previous grinder I was limited to the french press. But with this one I have so much control that I’ve refrained use of my moka. I also noticed one of the baristas at the specialty coffee bar I go to has one as well, it helped me confirm I made the right choice.I wish it could collapse a bit tighter for traveling, or maybe that it held more coffee to grind, but for personal use has been amazing.I use this for my single cup of pour-over coffee each morning. It'll hold two slightly heaping tablespoons of beans and it takes me about 40 seconds to grind them.Grinding action is smooth and does a way better job of keeping consistent particle size of the grounds than a blade grinder, for a more evenly extracted cup of coffee, which translates to better/more flavor with far less bitter/sour/burnt/weak/off notes in your coffee.I could find no instructions on how to clean it in the provided packaging and materials, so it's off to the internet for a search. That's pretty lame of the manufacturer to do that to customers, but I am overall quite pleased with my transaction.I bought this for peppercorns and it grinds it quite nicely.I use it daily its great and easy to cleanFirst off, the build quality is really great. It feels solid and sturdy. It grinds very well and fast for this price range. I would recommend it for traveling, easily. For home use, you might find it too small or too "manual." I have an electric cone burr grinder for my house.The only negatives are the small capacity and the grind adjustment isn't as elegant as full sized grinders. Cleaning is somewhat difficult since to really get at it, you need to completely remove the cone burr and putting it back on with the tension spring is finicky to get the threads started.That said, the dual bearing stabilization is really on let down by that tension spring that hold down the burr to the desired grind size. But the grind is pretty consistent. I use 23 to 27 clicks for my French Press.The quality is good. Grinding is fast and rather efficient. Timemore is prob the one best value one out there for beginner so can't really complain. Let's see how it'll hold up over time.I make one pour-over cup of coffee in the morning, so it HAS to be perfect - and now it is!My kitchen has minimal counter space and electrical outlets, so when my Breville grinder failed after 20yrs of faithful service, I decided to go manual.I found that setting the grinder at 28 clicks (to the left, from a full stop to the right) gives me a perfect dose (2 T) after 32 turns of the handle, a small price to pay for more counter space and an open outlet :)I bought this to replace a JavaPresse ceramic burr grinder. I thought grinders couldn't get much better than that one, but I was proven wrong. This device is indeed MUCH better, I would say absolutely proportional with the price. It produces a more consistent grind in less than a quarter of the time. The sharp steel teeth just make easy work of those beans with barely any effort required. The bearings in the shaft are important because they keep the burr perfectly centered. It feels incredible in the hand, it's thick and heavy with a good knurled grip. The bottom chamber actually screws in which makes it easier to grip while grinding and prevents it from falling out. The grind size selector is simply in another class. A minor touch I like is that the upper lid is integral with the crank, so there's only one piece to remove when you fill it with beans instead of two. If you're reading this, I recommend you buy this product.I use this a lot. Have tried moka pot, French press, and pour over. The grind size adjustment is good, and it does not take that long to grind. The hold is non slip, the weight distribution, the handle length and the handle makes it easy to grind fast. It would have been better if the detached handle did not have the lid so portability was better - it does come with a bag but I do not like the chance of some coffee grinds spilling out from the main vessel.This manual grinder made better coffee than I get from fresh, vacuum packed pre-ground coffee beans of the same brand. It is attractive on the bench top. It did not feel flimsy when I used it and the bottom did not unscrew during the grind. It was easy to transfer the ground coffee to several different coffee makers. It came with a handy black drawstring bag for transport or storage and a brush to clean coffee from the burrs.How long does it take to grind coffee? I have the 5 blade version. It took about 41 seconds at an easy steady pace to grind 15 grams of a medium roast coffee at the 20 clicks setting, one of the pour over settings, and about 1 minute and 33 seconds at the 10 clicks setting, the finest espresso setting.Ausgepackt und gleich ausprobiert. Negativ - die Kurbel wird nur aufgesteckt. Das leiert sehr schnell aus. Negativ - Der Auffangbehälter bzw. das Gewinde ist hakelig beim auf/ zu schrauben. K.O. Negativ - Für Espresso ungeeignet da durch die statische Aufladung das Mehl im Mahlwerk bleibt und somit verhindert das die größeren Bruchstücke der Bohnen nicht eingezogen werden. Es kommt nichts nach und dadurch wird nichts gemahlen. Das bisschen Mehl im Auffangbehälter klebt dann an der Wandung des Behälters. Zurück geschicktPara su uso hay que girarlo en sentido horario hasta que la manivela se trabe una vez ahí es el punto cero. Para moler hay que girar en sentido antihorario escuchando cada clic. La molienda es consistente, en definitiva excelente relación calidad precio.I haven't tried this with coffee beans, but as a pepper mill it's perfect. The build quality is excellent, the grinding motion is smooth and effortless and the all-metal construction hopefully means it'll last a long time.
