I've had this grinder for couple of months now, and mainly use it to grind my Sumatra for my AeroPress.
It's an ok grinder for the money.Here are the pros and cons.
Pros
- Looks pretty nice
- Easy to adjust coarseness
- Grinds are of fairly consistent size
Cons
- Small drawer so can only hold couple of scoops at a time
- Wobbly burr construction make it unsteady
- Slow, about 200 revolutions per scoop (7 grams)
- Loud
I've recently bought a restored big box KyM espresso grinder, and it's just so much better than this in terms of aggressiveness, burr quality and drawer size, though it cost me three times as much.
I recommend this grinder to anyone who just need grinds fine enough for drip, and who doesn't mind spending 5 minutes every morning grinding their coffee beans.
