5.0 out of 5 stars Works For Bears. Please Send With Boy Scouts.
So, I'm not like most bears. Right now up here in Orr, Minnesota, the rest of the bears are sleeping. Contrary to popular belief, we bears don't take our deep winter naps just because it is cold - we do it because food is hard to come by in the Winter weather. It's simply far more efficient for us to fatten up and sleep the weight away during the snowy months.But I am still awake, you see. Like your Yogi, I am smarter than the average bear. I have a plan. It works. It is brilliant in its simplicity, really. I don't bother to forage for food. No, instead, I let the food come to me. As I said, I'm not like most bears.Oh hush, I'm getting to the coffee grinder, really I am. We bears tend to expound quite a bit so I'm afraid you'll just have to suffer and, ahem, bear with me.There are several Boy Scout troops in my area. These aren't the soft, pudgy ones you get from the big cities you humans love so much. No, these are the real Boy Scouts of old. They will come camping in any weather, even during the worst blizzards, testing their furless, pink little bodies against the might of the weather.These Boy Scouts, you see, are the source of my - no, no, settle down, I haven't eaten any of the Boy Scouts. Don't be silly. The Department of Natural Resources - hmph, can you imagine, a majestic beast like myself relegated to being called a "resource," how demeaning. I mean really, your human-centric, primate-archal worldview is such a problem. You simply have no respect for us creatures of the forest anymore and if I had the mind to I'd just - I, ah, I apologize.Anyway, as I was saying, the Department of Natural Resources would be rather upset, and I'd like to evade the hunters for years to come. So no, I haven't eaten any of your Boy Scouts.Boy Scouts. Coffee Grinder. Right. So, as I'm sure you have surmised by now, I wait for the Boy Scouts to go camping and then I pay them a little visit. They don't mind, really. It's quite a thrill for them to have a visit from the natives, you know, and a little cultural exchange can go a long way towards building the understanding needed for long term cohabitation of Northern Minnesota. They love seeing my pawprints all over their camp. It's endearing, really.Although I don't sleep as deeply as my brothers and sisters, I DO still need a little something in the mornings to get me going, especially as I am getting on in my age, and sometimes the Boy Scouts bring coffee. Unfortunately, the last group brought full coffee beans. Can you believe that? Camping with whole coffee beans. Had I known I would have taken their coffee grinder, but by the time I had noticed I was already back in my den and the Boy Scouts were already on their way.Well, thankfully, I also took one of their smart phones. Silly boy had a simple password to guess on his account as well, so this really works out well for me. After browsing Bolo for a while - I mean, really, what better company to service nature's wild population than one ran by those who live in a rain forest? - I decided upon this coffee grinder and ordered it.You think your postal carriers are scared of dogs, hm? Imagine one trying to deliver a package to "A Pine Tree, Orr, MN." Not only did he have to figure out WHICH pine tree I meant, but on top of that I happened to be on site. I stood up to say hello, it's only proper really, but he just dropped the box and ran. Can you believe it? It's really no wonder that you humans complain about the postal service. They're so rude and speciesist and had very little regard for my packa- oh, right, the grinder. You humans are so impatient.Yes yes yes, THE GRINDER. I get it.Well. Let me tell you that once I fumbled the box open (my paws aren't quite as dexterous as your hands, as you may imagine), I found a rather beautiful coffee grinder. Pristine, gleaming stainless steel, something that is rather important if you live out in the woods as I do. It won't stain or rust. Assembly was simple as well; all I had to do was seat the handle over the large nut atop the device. It was then ready to grind beans!The handle is easily removed, by the way. This is a great feature as it makes storage far easier (my den is rather cramped). Boy Scouts: Order this coffee grinder! The handle is very sturdy and it will stow away nicely in your packs, and I won't mind having an extra to gift to my friends.I was concerned about being able to adjust the grind of the coffee. I am a bear, after all, and my paws are clumsy. Also of note: The nasal membrane of a human is about the size of a postage stamp. We bears have one the size of a bed sheet. As you can imagine, our senses of smell and taste are quite discerning, and having just the right grind to release the over 1,000 different chemical compounds fond in coffee can alter our experience greatly.However, the knob at the bottom of the grinder is of an ample size, even for a bear. I found no trouble operating the grinder. The knob itself has gentle stops along the way, so that it will hold its current position quite readily, only changing when you want to turn the knob.The cover on the bottom is a great addition. It is used to collect your fresh grounds. It is snug, but not too snug. You won't have to worry about it simply falling off, but you won't have any issues sliding it on and off as needed, either.Since I live in a den without electricity, I often cold brew my coffee and this technique requires a rather rough grind. This grinder did not disappoint; the grind was quite even at a rough grind, something many other grinders can't quite manage. Just as a test I tightened it up and soon a fine powder was falling out the bottom. I found this quite entertaining until I inhaled.I did mention the sensitivity of our noses, yes? We can smell carrion miles away. Imagine a fine coffee powder inches from my nose!Well, I sneezed of course, and when we bears sneeze it can be rather, ah, wet. So there I was with a "misted" coffee grinder. I was a bit worried at first, but after a quick trip to the nearby river I was able to clean the grinder up quite easily. Stainless steel, you know.Big enough for a bear, small enough to be readily portable. An excellent, even, variable grind that I am sure will last many years. All without the need for electricity! At the price I paid - or, well, the Boy Scout paid, bless his soul - this grinder is an excellent deal and a great item for the discerning coffee lover in YOUR den.With Compliments,Mr. BearUpdate, Five Years LaterI'm an older bear now, it's true, and it seems that I have outlasted this coffee grinder. The plastic piece which sits inside of the burr and rotates it finally developed stress fractures and broke. However, FIVE YEARS of almost daily use by a bear with big clumsy paws?That's a well-made product.
5.0 out of 5 stars Compact, Quiet, and Grinds Perfectly
love this Manual Stainless Steel Coffee Grinder! It’s super compact, so it doesn’t take up much space in my kitchen, and I can easily take it on the go. The stainless steel build feels sturdy, and it grinds my coffee beans perfectly—whether I’m brewing espresso or a regular drip. It’s much quieter than electric grinders, which is a plus in the morning when I don’t want to wake up anyone. The grind settings are easy to adjust, and cleanup is a breeze. Great value for a hands-on coffee experience!
4.0 out of 5 stars Coarseness adjuster loses its setting
ORIGINAL REVIEW: Takes about twice as long to grind as my full-size burr grinder so it's not what I reach for when at home but it's what we take on vacation or camping. Perfect for when on the go.By the way, when moving the coarseness adjuster, something about it doesn't inspire confidence that it will hold the adjustment but I'm pleased to say my concern was unfounded.UPDATE: I spoke too soon about the adjuster. It started changing on its own while grinding, so I took the adjustment wheel out to the shop and cross-drilled it for an M3 grub screw. Now I can gently tighten this grub screw against the threads to lock the adjustment wheel in place.This modification seems to be working well, but if you are a DIY type, be advised the nut is a high grade steel that scoffed at my M35 cobalt drill bit. I ended up having to use a carbide bit to get through it, so I went a little oversized to make the tapping operation go smoothly.Really a shame that this very basic flaw is present because it would have been trivial for the manufacturer to address.
5.0 out of 5 stars The excellent ceramic grinder element is the star of the show.
For grind quality, I find this to be exceptional -- you can get electric grinders from this price range and for twice this amount, but all have major issues with static and messes caused by static -- no such issues with this. (I think a decent entry electric grinder would start at the 160 range, all the others below that seem to be messy w static and unreliable motors)Clearly, it is not as fast as an electric grinder, and my use is not intended for an everyday 12 cup family-sized coffee maker, which would be rather intense, but for sampling whole beans for small batches, I am really impressed. Though not as fast as electric, it is is a fun and soothing ritual.The coarser the grind, the easier it is to grind, but all grinds are easy, (extra fine is a good arm workout!)Make sure you take five minutes to follow the instructions, as there are subtle adjustments you might want to make, and give yourself one or two trial and error sessions for perfect grind, but once you learn, it's all smooth sailing.The ceramic conical grinder element is the unseen the star of the show (like an engine in a Porsche) is truly excellent. From coarse (which I never use) to medium coarse (which I use I lot) to fine (which is surprisingly excellent), all the grinds are uniform, no static, and brew wonderfully.Now, my fresh ground beans have that bright fresh unlocked flavor that makes freshly ground beans desirable in the first place. Really can tell the difference.Gone are the days of the cheap and uneven and overheated grind of the "electric spice grinder" style grinder, which was so awful, it made all my beans taste terrible (bland yet bitter) due to overheated and uneven grinds.This is a wonderful compact tool to have in your coffee kit if you don't need large batches, and want to sample whole bean coffee, an electric grinder that does the same quality grind without static mess would cost four times as much and be four times the size.extremely happy w the purchase.
Nice product
Easy to use to get good coffee powder for fresh brew
Perfecta para un nivel inicial
Algunas personas recomiendan molinos con muelas de metal, en vez de cerámica. Sin embargo, si recién inician en estos temas, este molino es una muy buena alternativa por su relación calidad-precio. Con este molino he podido obtener muy buenos espressos.La foto muestra la textura que se puede obtener con este molino con un grano black honey (y aún se puede hacer más fino).Un punto a considerar es que si los granos no están muy tostados, en ocasiones puede sentirse como si el molino se trabara. En ese caso no recomiendo aplicar más fuerza, sino girar brevemente en contrasentido para que los granos se acomoden mejor y luego continuar.
absurdly bad. Muy muy mal.
It is not a useful article, it goes very badly, I will explain myself:*You can spend 10 minutes turning the crank to grind coffee for a double measure.*The degree of grinding is constantly changing and you have to be regulating it all the time.*Occasionally the grain inlet to the millstones clogs and you have to unclog it.* The materials are very very shabby, totally cheap. It doesn't make sense at this price. If the case were that it is a technical tool and the material was secondary, well... I wouldn't mind, but the truth is that the operation is painful. Wasted money.No es un artículo útil, va muy mal, me explicaré:*Puedes pasar 10 minutos dándole a la manivela para moler café para una medida doble.*El grado de molido se cambia constantemente y hay que estar regulandolo todo el tiempo.*De vez en cuando la entrada de grano a las muelas se obtura y hay que desatorar lo.* Los materiales son muy muy cutres, barato total. No tiene sentido a este precio. Si el caso fuera que se trata de una herramienta técnica y el material fuera secundario, bueno... no me importaría, pero la verdad es que el funcionamiento es penoso. Dinero tirado a la basura.
After 6 months use I love this grinder.
Really pleased with this grinder. I've had it for a good while now and love it. It is easy to dial in the grind I like and produces a really consistant quality grind. Very easy to use and clean. I don't know how long the burrs are expected to last but there is no apparent wear yet and I use it 3 or 4 times aweek.
Designfehler
Die Javapresse weist einige Designfehler auf: Zum einen kann sie nicht stehen, wenn die Kurbel angebracht ist und fällt um. Zum anderen quitscht die Mühle nach kurzer Zeit und der Kaffeemehlbehälter hat kein Gewinde, was einmal dazu geführt hat, dass überall Kaffeemehl verstreut war.
