I really wanna give this item 5 stars. I am giving 4 only because i think the receptacle jar is a little small. Its really not a problem but Im a big coffee drinker!
Excellent for grinding dried herbs and spices. I make a specific mix for what I am cooking. I can add my fresh peppercorns in wuth the othe herbs and spices and adjust for a uniform output. Very happy.
Can make fine ground coffee, but it will take some time as in 1/2 minutes, your arm may get tired, and there is a shrill squeaking sound while cranking the handle.
Mine arrived with the screw set way too tight, causing grinding noises and making the adjustment dial stick. After loosening until the grinding stopped, it began working well. Not totally sure what to rate this. A good product that was assembled wrong.
i got this because i wanted to grind coffee for my french press every day to keep it fresh, and its so easy to do so with this! it holds a fair amount of beans, probably at least four or five tablespoons when ground? good stuff.
I know this product is listed as a coffee grinder, but I have always thought outside the box. I purchased this item for a Pepper Grinder.
The hopper holds a lot of perrercorns. The rotating ring that secures the hopper rotates easy, a little to easy for me, so I secure it with a small piece of clear tape.
The bottom of the grinder has a larger screw on outer catch cup and a smaller inner cup that is perfect for catching ground pepper whether you are scooping out a teaspoon or a tablespoon.
The hourglass shape of the grinder makes it easy to hold down and the long grinding handle gives the leverage needed for quickly grinding even to very fine. There are several selections for grind from a powder to very course.
I personally use an electric coffee grinder for coffee, but this one should do, but would be pretty slow and a lot of work for me to fine grind a pound of coffee beans, so I will pass on that one.
As far as longevity, I have been using this grinder for a few months and it continues to work well. This my second purchase, this one for White Peppercorns.
It was a little more work than I imagined to grid enough for a single serve, but I like that price and size. I have not tried to clean it yet. Over all a great product and price. Four stars, but I think next time I would spend the money for a little bit nicer unit.
It met my expectations and a perfect size for what I needed it for. It takes up a small amount of space and Im able to sit it right next to my larger coffee maker. This little grinder holds enough for 2/3 cups of coffee.
I really dont mind the additional ritual to my morning coffee of grinding out enough for a strong cup.
This replaces my electric grinder and feels like it will never break.

Loud squeaking when cranked.

Works well after some modification
Mine arrived with the screw set way too tight, causing grinding noises and making the adjustment dial stick. After loosening until the grinding stopped, it began working well. Not totally sure what to rate this. A good product that was assembled wrong.
super convenient

Easy to use, clean.
After move to nespresso machine, I got good coffee beans. It is better than electric one.
Terrific Pepper Grinder!

Lots of work but good product

Perfect size and works well to meet my needs
It met my expectations and a perfect size for what I needed it for. It takes up a small amount of space and Im able to sit it right next to my larger coffee maker. This little grinder holds enough for 2/3 cups of coffee.
It can take a minute or two to grind for a cup, but I love it.
