QcoQce Manual Coffee Grinder - Adjustable Hand Grinder - Ceramic Conical Burr Mill - Mini Portable Home Kitchen Travel Coffee Bean Grinder/Coffee Mill - Perfect Gift for Every Coffee Lover

Despite the silly brand name that makes me think "cheap Chinese knock-off," this is a decent grinder. The packaging is nice and the quality of the grinder's components is surprisingly good. It has a great compact, portable size and is very easy to disassemble. Though not marked for measurement, the grounds cup holds about 2 cups' worth (40g) of whole beans.The instruction 'booklet' is a cheaply printed, folded one-sheet that shows you how to fill and clean the grinder and gives you warranty information.The 16 grind settings are a joke - at the '16' setting, you're getting a grind that's a bit too fine for French press. As is, with the wingnut tightly secured, moving the setting closer to '1' only moves the grinding components so close together that they barely move or lock up entirely. It seems to me there should be an additional spacer in the main well, positioned above the burr grinder, that gives it more separation and makes the settings viable.To get around this problem, I have unscrewed the bottom wingnut to give the rotor more space and achieve the grind I want for my Press. This also makes turning the hand crank easier, though it requires a slow, easy rhythm so the motion doesn't completely unscrew the grinding wheel and have it drop into the cup. From this point, changing the settings actually does something, and at the '1' setting you can get the fine grind necessary for a drip cup.

Ordered it back in April and got a chance to use it now in August. It broke the first time I used it.8/21/18 Update seller seen my review and offered to send a new one. I couldn't return the broken unit due to the trash can taking it. I usually don't take the effort to replace due to inconvenience. The new unit worked great. Grind setting is precise. If you are weak handed a manual grinder is not for you. Would be great for those who like grind their own when there is no power available. Over all this is a good grinder. Raised from 1 star to 4 due to new unit working out and customer service. Enjoy

This is very easy to use and clean. I was looking for a quality burr grinder and this has fit the bill. However, I have taken a star off because the upper body could really use a rubber or silicone grip band. I've had to wrap some rubber bands around mine to keep it from turning in my hands while I grind beans. That is my only complaint after 2 or more years of use and the only reason I have taken a star off.

well i do like it. it works pretty darn well. however...it doesnt grind as course as i would like it, even on the 16th setting. still does a bangin' good job at it tho. also, i have rather small hands, so gripping it is kinda hard and awkward as the steel is slippery and it takes a bit of time to grind due to this. i know it seems trivial, but when you are have awake, desperately attempting to get that first cup of coffee in before taking your womb gnome to school, time is of the essence. other than that, its a good grinder.

It does what it promised, to grind coffee beans. Seriously, It does grind beans into different grade you set it to. Being a black coffee addict like me, it does add more satisfaction to have fresh coffee to come out from that my coffee maker, what I mean fresh is freshly grinded and newly brewed coffee. I also like the fact that I can bring it to me everywhere I travel as it is like a small glass in size. I just wish they improve the size of the catching glass a little bigger to accommodate just a little bit more ground coffee.

Ignore the negative comments and buy this grinder. You won't be disappointed.This item arrived well packaged and in good order. It came in an attractive gift box and included a little instruction sheet. It is a manual coffee grinder, so there is not much to understand. The diagram for disassembly/assembly is probably the most essential part.The hopper has good openings for inserting the beans. There is no way to tell how much it is holding once you've added the beans so measure them out before you add them to the hopper. The coarseness adjustment is easy to make by turning the dial. The grinding operation itself is smooth and easy. It only takes a few minutes to complete. I've seen some complaints that the ground coffee is not of uniform size. I've never seen one yet that can do that so maybe I'm just ignorant but I haven't had a problem yet making coffee from the grounds produced by this grinder.Clean up is easy as all parts are washable.I am very happy that I made this purchase and I think you will be as well.

While this manual grinder is definitely a step up from the simple metal cylinder style that is found all over on Amazon, it still takes quite a bit of time to grind enough for an espresso shot. I really like that this one has grinder markings to help with selecting the proper grind, much better than adjusting the bottom screw on the other style. I ended up getting an electric burr grinder because I needed to produce more ground beans faster, but for a manual burr grinder, this is pretty good!

I would love to rate this product five stars, but the one that I received seems to be defective. The burrs contacted each other during normal use (medium-coarse grind) in the state that I received it, and one of the burrs broke off because of it. The design is great and the quality and consistency of grind are phenomenal, and I love the grind control. I will update this review if my problem is resolved.Edit 5/17/2018 - The seller quickly contacted me and asked what had happened and promptly sent me a new one. I've been using the new one for more than a week and it works wonderfully! The grind consistency and size is perfect, miles better than with the broken one. I am very impressed. I would recommend this to anybody who cares about their grind size and consistency.The customer service was great, I talked to Anna and she was very nice and concerned with getting me a working product and making sure I was happy. She's one of the best people I've talked to in customer service and she deserves a raise.
