This grinder has a very durable frame made out of stainless steel, which can easily endure falls and heavy impacts. It won't get damaged while in a bag or in storage. This grinder also has good quality ceramic burrs, but they can still be easily damaged by hard or metallic objects.
This grinder is very quiet since it is manually operated and produces only a subtle grinding noise. This is much quieter than any electrical grinder, since they operate at high speeds and generate a loud noise.
This grinder is very easy to carry around and will hardly affect the weight of your bag or your suitcase. Thanks to the minimalist design, this grinder weighs only 9.4 oz (0.266 kg), which is lighter than a can of soda.
This grinder can be used anywhere, because it does not require electricity. If you want to grind some fresh coffee with it, you wont ever need to have an outlet nearby.
This coffee grinder has a really small capacity and can only grind 1 or 2 cups worth of coffee at a time. Additional cups would take more time and energy, so it is best suited for grinding coffee for only one person.
Due to the small surface area of the grinder's base, it easily falls over when enough force is applied while grinding coffee. To avoid this, you should always hold it with one hand and rotate the crank with the other.
This grinder is easy to store, because it has a compact design. It is very slim and takes up very little space. It can easily fit in a small drawer. If needed, it can be taken apart to reduce the length for even easier storage.
Wiping the ceramic burrs with a damp cloth and brushing out the bean hopper once a week is enough to keep this coffee grinder in top working condition and retain the flavor of your coffee.
This grinder is very simple to use. You just have to open the lid, pour in some beans, close the lid and start grinding them. Once finished, the coffee will be collected in the lower part of the coffee grinder, which has a tiny plastic window to see how much coffee you have ground.
This unit can get really loud when grinding coffee beans due to the high rotation speed of the burr mill. On the other hand, it is still a bit less noisier than other grinders in this price range.
Although it has an affordable price, it grinds coffee really well. Its performance beats the majority of other grinders under $100, but it won't be able to compete with expensive, high-end electrical grinders. This is a great grinder to have if you're just starting out on grinding your own fresh coffee without investing too much.
You can simply pour the beans, rotate the hopper to adjust grind settings (18 total) and adjust the slide dial to select the amount of cups (from 4 to 18) you wish to make.
The hopper is dishwasher safe, but can be also washed by hand. The inside of the grinder needs to be brushed out by hand. The components are quite accessible, so no there's no difficult disassembly needed.
This grinder is built with a combination of stainless steel and plastic elements that firmly hold together all the movable pieces. The electrical components are all properly covered.
The burrs are made out of ceramic, which is more durable than steel and can remain sharp twice as long as steel burrs. They are however, not as sharp as steel burrs. Despite the durability, the burrs can be easily damaged if there is a hard or metallic object mixed in with the coffee beans.
This grinder has a large capacity. It can hold of up to 32 cups worth of coffee (around half a pound). Coupled with the speed of the grind, it is easy to make large amounts of coffee in a short span of time.
Most cheap electric grinders use stainless steel blades, which generate excess heat by shredding coffee beans. Excess heat is undesirable since it can change the flavor of the coffee. This grinder uses ceramic burrs that produce hardly any heat by crushing the coffee beans, all without affecting the flavor.
This grinder is relatively cheap, but it has really good components such as the ceramic burrs and the finely crafted glassware. It has a simple design, but it still looks good without having excess decorations. It can easily fit in with the looks of your kitchen.
This grinder is great to have in your house so you can serve coffee to family, friends or guests. Although the capacity (100 g/3.5 oz) is not exceptionally large, but in a single grind you can make enough coffee for multiple cups.
While the glass is of high quality, it can still break pretty easily. A fall from most counters will shatter it immediately. This is also means it's not very suitable for travel as a strong enough impact to your bag/luggage can shatter it easily.
Adjusting the grind setting can be pretty convoluted for new users, as you are required to disassemble the grinder, adjust the grind adjustment nut and then put everything back together. If you like to change your grind often, this can get quite tedious.
Wiping the ceramic burrs with a damp cloth and brushing out the bean hopper once a week is enough to keep the coffee grinder in top working condition and retain the flavor of your coffee.
This grinder can be used anywhere because it does not require electricity. Whether you're at home, traveling or even outdoors, it's ready to be used anytime.
This grinder is very simple to use. You just have to open the lid, pour in some beans, close the lid and start grinding them. Once finished, the coffee will be collected collected in the glass container at the base. The glass container is transparent, so you can easily see how much coffee it has in it.
This grinder is manually operated and only produces a light grinding noise. This is much quieter than any electric grinder, since they operate at high speeds and generate a loud noise.
The burrs are made out of ceramic, which is more durable than steel and can remain sharp twice as long as steel burrs. They are however, not as sharp as steel burrs. Despite the durability, the burrs can be easily damaged if there is a hard or metallic object mixed in with the coffee beans.
The larger the grind setting, the more difficult it is to retain grind consistency. This is due to reduced stability of the burrs at coarser settings. Fine and medium grinds will be great, but most coarse grinds will turn out uneven. This can be circumvented via modifications, but these will void your warranty.
This coffee grinder is manually operated, so finer grinds take more time and consume more energy. This is not the ideal choice for people that spend their mornings in a hurry or those who dislike additional exercise early in the morning.
