LHS Manual Coffee Grinder with Ceramic Conical Burr Stainless Steel Hand Crank Mill for Drip Coffee, Espresso, French Press, Turkish Brew

I use this little hand grinder for my coffee every morning. It's held up great for years now. I grind my beans to medium-coarse, and the base can only hold about 15 grams at a time. Its not a problem for me. I just dump the little container into the filter twice per grind. It is a little labor intensive so if you are looking for something easier, maybe splurge on an electric burr grinder.

This is the perfect little hand grinder! The top unscrews to add the beans, it holds a couple of tablespoons at a time. On the bottom side is a switch that allows you to change how fine or coarse you want to grind the beans. This can also be used to grind herbs, I’ve used it to grind fresh rosemary. It’s easy to clean as it comes apart into 3 pieces. It’s small enough to take with you when traveling but large enough to grind a substantial amount of beans or herbs. Definitely a great deal for the price!

As advertised

We bought two coffee grinders. The second was a backup and when we used it the first time, it got stuck and it stopped grinding.

The Good:This grinder does what it's supposed to do. After a month of daily use, I have been very happy with the consistency of the grind.The Bad:1. The translucent plastic pieces of this grinder are prone to small cracks. That would be the top cover, and more importantly, the container at the bottom that catches the ground coffee. After a month of use, they have dozens of hairline cracks. So far it has held together, here's hoping that continues.2. This grinder takes a lot of manual effort. I've gotten better at it, but it still takes 2 minutes of cranking to get one cup's worth of coffee at a grind level slightly finer than drip. This works well for single serve coffee applications like Aeropress, but would require probably 10 minutes of grinding for a full pot. Also, the grinder is hard to grip while cranking (small and a bit slick).3. The grind size control is extremely basic. When I bought it, I thought there were a handful of fixed grind size settings. That is not really the case. Instead, the selector is a wheel that clicks around in circles endlessly, with no way of knowing the size other than trying it out. This is ok if you always want the same grind size, but it is bad if you want to go back and forth between different grind sizes.

This is a very compact, well-designed little grinder that takes up only a tiny bit of my precious counter space. I grind just enough coffee each morning to make one cup of deliciousness in my pour-over brewer. Have been using it every day for approximately 6 months with absolutely no problems

You can grind on this for hours and not get enough ground coffee to make a pot. Very disappointing. Update: Since writing my initial review, I have realized that while this grinder isn't the fastest when it comes to grinding coffee, it is an excellent pepper mill. Actually, it's the best I've ever used. If you are looking for an excellent pepper mill, this one is great.

I really wanted to like this grinder. It looks good, feels solid, and it produces good grinds. As others have mentioned, it does take a long time to grind beans. To produce enough for one strong mug of coffee, I have to grind steadily for six or seven minutes. I thought that would be a real issue, but I embraced it as part of my morning ritual. My step counter certainly likes it....but within a couple of months, I already saw cracks forming in the clear plastic receiver that catches the grounds on the bottom of the device. It twists to lock in place, but that is where the cracks formed. It took another couple of months, but eventually pieces of the plastic actually broke away. Now it does not lock in place. I have to be sure to hold it securely while grinding. Of course I am worried that this will ultimately lead to it falling off mid-grind and I will have a mess of espresso grounds all over the place. It will be a substantial clean up at best, or possibly permanent stains on my rug.I have seen in at least one other review that this same thing has happened to other people.

I love this grinder, its well built, and helps make great espresso shots or coffee drinks and I can take it anywhere

for coffee, it is great but not for small seeds like flaxseed and it is for bachelors, one person and just sometimes two, otherwise you have to grind harder :)

I new there would be some effort with a manual grinder but it takes far to long to make enough for 1 cup of coffee. Changing the grind setting had little to no effect on the effort. I would steer clear of this one.

Purchased it to grind saffron and it works like a charm!

Il m'a fallu 3 à 5 minutes pour moudre seulement la moitié de ce dont j'ai besoin pour faire un espresso. La vitesse de broyage de cette machine est équivalente à celle d'un moulin à poivre. Elle n'est vraiment pas efficace. Je ne la recommande pas si vous voulez moudre rapidement.
