I love using this grinder - I truely do. I wish I could drink more coffees per day, or make for others. I'm a pour-over brewer... not the most sophisticated and experienced and not yet a coffee prima-donna. This is my first modern-age grinder. You'll have hard time finding reviews on this one, which is why I take the extra mile reviewing it here. How does it look? nice. super slick. looks like something that worth the price tag. Feels? great, very nice in your hand, tho ppl with smaller hands might struggle a bit to grip. Performs? Well, IMO. I haven't much to compare it with. it grinds smoothly and rather easily, and when it meets a tough bean - it's really nice to crush with a bit more hand-power. The coarse settings I'm on, seem to produce a satisfying uniformity of sizes. It seems to perform even better when grinding for fine. Notice this: the way the collector bin at the bottom attaches to body - it forces you to grip this thing at the top half of it, on the metal part (body) - it might be a bit uncomfortable for some, I couldn't mind less. There are great grinders out there. some probably outperform this one for +/- the same price. I personally doubt, that at this point in time, I would be able to tell the difference between a coffee ground with this one compared with one with double the price-tag. I hope it stands the test of time (seems ragged) and I will enjoy it for many years.
