I like the mini for traveling with my AeroPress, but it's probably not big enough for a pour over.
From one full rotation to one and a half, this is our grind setting reference. The grind size can be altered by changing the bean or roast; for example, grind 1- It would be beneficial to examine the coarseness of two beans:

This is an excellent little grinder. In about 40 seconds, it grinds enough coffee for one Aeropress serving. I use it at work and my other 1zpresso at home because of the consistent particle size. Both are quick, have a higher build quality than Porlex, and have a more durable handle design. I only use it for Aeropress or pourover (occasionally using the Keurig refillable cups), so I can't comment on those who complain that it doesn't make espresso. Although it has fine grinds, it is ideal for Aeropress users on the go. This model is designed to fit inside Aeropress. It's been a few months since I've used it on a daily basis, and the grind still feels crisp. The use of a brush to remove the grounds from the cup fixes some wintertime static after grinding.
However, the numbered dial was one of the main reasons I bought this grinder (rather than similarly priced competitors), because I brew with a variety of methods, from Aeropress to pourover to french press, and I wanted to be able to go straight to the number I tuned in for each method. The numbering, on the other hand, is not. in the opposite direction Starting at 0, you go counterclockwise to coarsen, and it reads as 9, 8, and so on, before returning to zero, which is a full turn, and counting down again. Methods range from 5 to 30 clicks. If it counted forward, that'd be simple-- If the French press required 21 clicks, you would turn it twice and then to the first position. Instead, you must think twice and then proceed to the number nine. If you only use one method, that's fine. Make it a click or two finer or coarser to taste, but if you're switching between multiple methods, it's unnecessary confusing, which is what the numbered dial was designed to avoid in the first place.
What I find appealing about it is: br> Sleek design and small size. Round wooden knob is easy to grasp with my small, shaky hands. br> It's easy to hold and easily turns. br> At this price, stainless steel burrbr> Aluminum(? The bottom chamber is included in the body. I didn't want a glass or plastic chamber, so I screwed the bottom chamber to the top part, just like a mason jar lid. This, rather than gaskets or magnets, seems to me to be more secure. br> The cleaning brush that came with the package is useful. There's also a canvas pouch, but I've never needed it.

- The lid made of acrylic. It was supposed to be metal, but it wasn't. In a hand grinder, I don't see why you'd need an acrylic part. To see if there are any more beans? It's too small to see what's inside, and because it's a hand grinder, you'll know when you're finished. With a single-player mode, You won't be able to store any beans in this model due to the serving size.
- The 1zpresso logo, which is quite large. Many people may find it tasteless because it is a little too much.
- The numbering dial is illogical, and the grind guidelines are far too basic to be useful. The dial's numbers should have been printed in the opposite direction.
- When attempting to remove the grounds from the receptacle, the bottom chamber requires three full rotations (3360 degrees) to secure it to the top part, which is particularly inconvenient. Because there are so many rotations, you'll naturally want to start with the bottom, which is smaller and lighter. But it's full of ground coffee, which will spill all over if you open it by rotating that part, so you'll have to rotate the heavy top part every day. It's a little annoying, so I sometimes wish I got a model with gaskets or magnets for fastening, despite my prejudice against those. br>br>Features about which I am undecided: br>* On the outside, the brown coating appears to be bakelite with a wooden texture. It appears to be a water-related situation. Unlike the rest of the grinder, it has a high level of resistance. br>* About 3 tablespoons of coffee beans can be ground in the grinder. This meant only 16 grams of ground coffee for the dark roast I measured, but approximately 22 grams for the light roast. br>br>Note: If you're looking for a unique way to express yourself, try using the words "creative It's been about a month since I got this grinder. I'm not a coffee connoisseur, and this is my first time using a hand grinder. The pictures you see are after you've used it, not before. For the time being, I'll give it three stars. Updates are possible in the future.
If you need a portable grinder to make a small pot of drip coffee on the go, this is a great option. I don't have any concerns about the durability packing because the build quality feels tight and precise. The grinder has a stylish design and is knurled to fit comfortably in the hands of medium and small people. For sleepy large mitts, perhaps not so much. br>br>This grinder is not suitable for espresso. Even on the finest setting, the grounds aren't fine enough for espresso, according to most standards. The grounds are fairly regular, but they're rice-shaped, which means your coffee beans aren't being used to their full potential. br>br>The bean reservoir isn't quite big enough to brew a full-fledged cup of coffee. 4-th power coffee in a cup pot with drip Because the grinds aren't very fine, your coffee will be thin; add beans for a second abbreviated round of grinding for a medium and stronger flavor. Grinding is simple - br>br> On the crank, there's a lot of leverage. in addition to being extremely quiet It's also simple to keep the place clean. There is a camera or make-up kit included. Brush up any leftovers with a brush. If you're traveling with beans and will have access to a coffee maker at your destination, this is a great grinder to have. Though the result is passable and probably better than a lot of coffee-making machines, I wish the bean and grounds reservoirs were a little larger, and that it could grind finer to make traditional espresso. espresso store.
I was looking for a better alternative to my Hario Mini- Mill. It worked okay, but it took a long time to grind for espresso and wasn't very good for that. I considered purchasing the larger model of this grinder, but I preferred the smaller size. I only grind 14 grams at a time, so I figured I'd give it a shot and then return it for something bigger and more capable if it didn't work. It wasn't absolutely necessary. I dialed it in for a decent shot before making a second adjustment. I got a fantastic shot for my entry level machine, and I was very pleased with the fit and finish; my 14 grams were ground in just 60 seconds. An electric screwdriver can be used with the unit, and I'll get the adapter for it tomorrow. I had modified the Hario to do so, and it took more than two minutes with the motor. I'm looking forward to putting in a little less effort the next day. This has made me very happy.
