PARACITY Manual Coffee Bean Grinder Stainless Steel Hand Mill Ceramic Burr for Aeropress, Drip Coffee, Espresso, French Press, Turkish Brew, for gift

I really like this hand crank coffee grinder, it has a dial to adjust how coarse you want your grounds to be, and is relatively simple to assemble, use, and clean. It does take a long time to grind the coffee, but that's expected as it only can go as fast as your arms can! Lol

I am only recently into drinking coffee. Not quite sure about whether to like it or not. So I was not prepare to invest heavily into coffee making accessories. This inexpensive coffee bean grinder is perfect for my use. Its stainless steel body is very durable, easy to hold and with variable setting for grinder beans. A slight short coming is the dial to adjust the grind size is inside the grinder and is no marking. So it is a trial and true process to get the right setting for suiting the process how you are brewing coffee. But once you are set, you don't have to change the setting often. I can usually put enough beans in this container to make 3 cups of coffee. The beans fill to the top can product about 6 table spoon of ground coffee. It takes a little more time to make coffee. But fresh ground coffee definitely smells and tastes better than instant coffee.

It was easy to use. The adjustability was nice and the grinding consistency was good. The size was small for portability. The appearance was small and clean. My only issue is it stopped grinding and and just continued to tighten the stones together.

Easy to use, but ceramic burrs take their time. The hopper and catch cup are pretty generous, and it is well sized so you can fill the catch cup with beans, invert the grinder and slide the hopper mouth into the catch cup, invert again to dump beans into the hopper, put the catch cup back on the bottom, cap it and put the handle on and start cranking and refill the catch cup. No spilled beans or grounds. Grinding will take some time. But it won't build up heat like an electric will. Unfortunately the axle is a pentagon instead of a hexagon. This means you're mostly stuck with the included handle, which is a bit floppy and not great. It works, but if the end of that shaft were hexagonal it would be practical to chuck a cordless drill on it and save yourself a bit of time and energy. You still can, sort of, but it's not as good or secure a grip. Cleaning is pretty simple. I run some salt through it, then disassemble it and rinse the salt off and let it dry before putting it back together, taking care not to over tighten it. The burr, being ceramic, is more fragile than a steel burr, and while dropping a steel burr might dull it, dropping the ceramic might shatter it. On the other hand, it heats more slowly, and wont rust if you put back together a little wet. Other than the pace of the grind, the biggest weakness is that you adjust the fineness by turning a nut. This compresses the burr against a spring to maintain a constant distance between the grinding surfaces. The problem is there is no indexing of any sort, so unless you do something to mark the threaded rod, you have no idea what size grind you're getting and there is no way to be consistent between cleanings, or between different types of grinds. You can get in the same general area with a little practice and familiarity, but it's not as nice as better grinders with indexing so you can count off a couple clicks and by using the same number of clicks, know what your grind is going to be. Additionally, this adjustment can only be done from the bottom, with the catch cup off. This is the messiest way to do things. For the price, this is a great grinder and a real step up from electrics in all but the amount of time it takes to grind. Better outcome for your patience and energy though--and cheaper. Steel burrs are better though, so if you can afford them, do so.

Breaks within weeks of use. All the gears and components used to grind the coffee failed internally when coffee was grinding and warped each other and were totally irreparable (cheap soft plastic materials used). I bought this for camping because it packs well. What am I supposed to do crush the beans with rocks and my teeth out there? Buy an electric one and grind it beforehand. It’s cheaper and won’t leave you frustrated and without caffeine in the woods. I’m amazed at the seller’s ability to put out such a product which should be so simple in a way that totally incorporates planned obsolescence so rapidly into its lifecycle. What a waste. Looks like metal on the outside but there’s cheap material that all breaks instantly for the gear mechanisms internally. Waste.

Best pepper grinder ever! Great for seasoning meals

Me es muy útil para moler semillas como almendra, nuez, achiote etc. Lo bueno es que se puede graduar para que logre moler semillas grandes. Es inoxidable entonces no se oxidar. Para lavar se desarma algunas partes fácilmente o también con agua caliente y ya.

Broke after a year with very light use. Its designed badly with cheap plastic absorbing all the pressure from the grinding, not worth buying the manufacturer don't even tell you the warranty period for this and i certainly didn't expect it to break so easily. Other than that the outer design is solid and the ceramic does its job but what for if is not going to last.

Voy a dar mi humilde opinión sobre el producto testeado por mí, no quiere decir que sea aplicable al resto: - packaging: venia deteriorado, pero por lo que veo en las reseñas de otros usuarios, no es el primero - materiales: bastantes simples, no hay mucho plástico pero el material es muy endeble y la calidad percibida deja que desear. Tienes que estar haciendo fuerza porque tiende a abrirse y desmontarse - molido: no te deja ajustar el tamaño, tienes que adivinarlo apretando la rosca, pero lo malo es que no muele todos los granos, se quedan muchos sin bajar a las muelas, por lo que por más que gires es para nada. Además de que la sensación (supongo que debido a los materiales) al moler es de baja calidad Por último destacar, que soy consciente que por el precio que tiene (en comparación a otros de calidad y precio muy superior), hay que ser consciente de que no podemos pedir materiales ni funcionamiento extraordinario, pero al menos la función de moler que es a la que se destina el producto, debe ser correcta, y para mí no lo es Voy a devolverlo, porque aparte del packaging y de los materiales, la función principal que es moler café (la cantidad justa para una o dos tazas) cada vez que quiera tomarme uno, no es la esperada. Por ese motivo no puedo darle más estrellas ni recomendarlo, pero insisto, alomejor es mi unidad recibida en concreto.

I’m quite happy with this manual coffee grinder. The build quality feels solid, especially the stainless steel body. It does its job well and grinds coffee consistently. I also like that you can easily adjust the grind size depending on your needs, which is great for different brewing methods. Overall, a simple and reliable grinder that I would recommend.

Parfait

Broke after 3 uses, a plastic connection between the handle and grinding part broke so the grinder would no longer grind. Cheaply made product.

It works fine but it is difficult making more than 3 coffees.
