Pros & Cons
Pros
Perfect little grinder with adjustable grind. It grinds the coffee beautifully, is quick and easy to use. A little bit of grinding goes a long way, it's a solid and high quality product.
Good durability and easy to clean, made for traveling. No sharp edges and everything fits snugly. Handle is sturdy and never slips off.
Max capacity is 20 grams beans which is just enough for my typical 1 big thermo mug brews. The build quality is fantastic, and the hopper is capable (depending on the size of your beans) of holding 28-29g of coffee.
By far my favourite. Portable hand grinder. All the coffee geeks at work love this thing.
Cons
It takes forever to grind a shots worth of beans because you're constantly readjusting/refastening/picking up the handle off the floor. Marginally decent grind for dark roasts.

I suspect others whove commented on the slowness may have had a problem similar to what i found perhaps as a result of jostling in shipping

I like that the grinder adjustment knob clicks so you can count the clicks to know exactly how to reset to your preferred grind if you need to take it apart to clean

Honestly if youre caring about your coffee and only have 50ish to spend on a grinder do yourself a favor and get this instead of any similarily priced electric version

Only thing i dont like about it is that it has no settings indication other than a click on the adjustment wheel

The handle on the hario does not fit the axle as well and tends to wear out

A little larger capacity would be nice but not crucial
