Highlights
Quality
I use this to grind espresso from fresh beans and the quality is amazing lattes are so much better
I grind medfine for the bialetti stovetop percolator and coarse for the french press
The central rod that turns the burr doesnt wiggle so the quality definitely is there
If i have any other issues with the grinder i will return and update my review
Price
I bought one of these before they got popular and when the price was less intimidating
I originally was going to buy an electric burr grinder but the prices totally deterred me
Packaging/appearance
Grounds cup fits perfectly into the aeropress or small french press
Wish it has a bit higher capacity but the design packs well fitting into the aeropress when stored
Competitiveness
I use this to make aeropress coffee or with my rok espresso maker
I use this along with aeropress for making coffee on my boat
Seems like everyone starts with a hario grinder and when that breaks they graduate to a porlex
The porlex mini would suit 20g of coffee or less

The grind setting doesnt change once youve set it

The user manual give recommandation for each type of coffee machine you could use and it does say 45 clicks for expresso

The missing last star is due to an unexpected change to the top part of the shaft which the crank handle fits over
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
What it amounts to is not being able to fit a hex bit over said part and turn the manual grinder into a drill powered grinder

The only reason im not giving it 5 stars is that the bottom part doesnt really stay on very well
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
When you are grinding you need to hold it by the top part or else the whole top will just spin around but if you only hold it by the top the bottom can fall off

I had a hairo before this and the top mechanism where the handle attaches was prone to grinding down rendering the grinder useless
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
Nevertheless it is a much higher quality product than the hairo and the inconsistent grind size is only at large settings
