Overall I am happy with this grinder. I bought it to use along side my Aeropress, and was in the market for an affordable hand grinder that wouldn't take up a lot of space. Two design notes that I think would elevate the grinder: include a rubber or silicone (or something) part to hold the grinder handle when not in use; and ditch the plastic view window. Having a way to keep the handle in place while storing would be a nice touch to keep all things in order, especially while traveling. I use a hair elastic to keep the handle with the grinder and while it works it isn't very elegant. Secondly, I think that for future designs, the plastic view point should be ditched. With a hand grinder, you know when you have grinded all your beans because the resistance is gone when cranking. So the view window isn't necessary. Plus the plastic inlay makes it harder to clean (not like super hard, but like enough that I often reach for a toothpick or straw brush to clean the grooves inside). Just having the stainless steel bottom even as an optional switch would be great so the consumer can choose would be great. For the price, it works very well and is great for budget-minded coffee consumers. I bought mine with the 3 coffee bag combo as I am new to homebrewing and wanted to see which types of roast I prefer. With the combo deal, I don't know what anyone would buy a portable hand grinder anywhere else.

it's simple, works well and consistently, and doesn't take up too much room in my small kitchen.

My kid got this as a grad gift a few years back. As a non coffee drinker it missed the mark, but his coffee loving mom was stoked! Fast forward three years later when he comes home for an extended Covid-19 visit and discovers he loves coffee! Now he wants his grinder back! I ordered his a few weeks ago and it arrived promptly and in good condition. He lifted it in the box and we’re still using my, scratch, his old one. Three years and going strong!

The grinder is easy to use and grind the beans and the little booklet that comes with it is very helpful. Definitely requires a little adjusting to get the grind you like, but it's easy to adjust and take apart and clean.

Good product Easy to use

After accidentally grabbing a bag of whole bean coffee, twice, I found myself in need of a grinder. I did my research and the JavaPressé was a favourite among consumers, reviewers, and coffee shops. I decided to give it a try and I’m so glad I did! I’m so impressed with this coffee grinder! It’s small, easy to handle, works very well and is easy to clean and care for. If that’s not enough, the difference it makes in the quality of coffee is amazing! Fresh ground is so much better than pre-ground. I’ll never go back! The fact that it’s a burr grinder also makes a difference in taste and I love it. The hand you hold the canister with can get tired, but unless you’re grinding enough beans to fill the whole reservoir, it’s not that bad. It also grinds a good amount of coffee in less than 10 minutes. I recommend this grinder to anyone.

I like it. It is portable and easy to use, small and quiet!

It took me several tries to get this fine precision made instrument fine tuned, but it is now and is holding my setting. I am using this grinder several times a day and enjoying a fantastic tasting cup of coffee, you have to break your wrist to keep from having another right away. As a matter of fact several times I had to have that second cup.

I'm in the military, so questionable coffee in the early mornings are pretty standard. In our house, we have an electric grinder. It is very loud to be running at 0530 before our 9 month old is up. Enter in the JavaPresse Manual Burr Grinder. It's quick, quiet, and way more consistent. And that consistency is what leads to a cup of coffee tiers above what I am used to. I love this thing! It's also simple and compact so I can take it anywhere I need it to go. Where has this thing been during my whole career?! Without a doubt, I would recommend this to anyone needing a grinder!

Great grinder and solid customer service

All in all, a splendid little grinder and at a very reasonable price. The only reason I'm knocking off a star is that adjusting the coarseness setting is a bit hit and miss. Once you have it dialed in for either Espresso (pretty fine) or French press (course) - the extremes that our household needs to access - it grinds the beans beautifully. What takes a while and some fussing around is getting it back to the opposite setting. Counting the clicks per the instructs only gets you so close. My solution is to buy a 2nd grinder, which I have just done. Also, the clear plastic liner in the container is about a millimeter or so too tall. It hits the bottom of the hopper, with the result being that the metal parts don't mate smoothly and wiggle while you're grinding. But this is easy to fix: Just slide the plastic liner from the container, carefully mill the top of it with a sanding block and 320/400 grit paper, then put back into the container after washing. After doing this, the metal parts fit snugly and the wiggle is gone.

I would like to have the brochure that comes with it. I had trouble downloading. I use different coffee makers(pour over , mocha pot, and aeropress). So I am changing the grind and it is easier for me to work with a hard copy. But I do love using it and love the results.

Easy to use, store and clean.

I really like this grinder. When filled up, it makes the normal amount I use for a pot of coffee. Easy to put together and use. One suggestion I'd make though is for some kind of funnel. With the main shaft in the middle, it is hard to get the beans into the chamber for grinding. A funnel that sent the beans around the shaft would really help.

We bought the grinder for those mornings at anchor on the boat, but found it's great for vacations too. Grinds just enough coffee for 2 good sized mugs and it's cleaner than our electric grinder.

Simply constructed, no confusion. I just cleaned mine for the first time; so easy! And, yearly replacement of the burrs is sure to be a cinch! Thank you for a fantastic & uncomplicated machine!

The grind size is excellent for chemex or French press and I can taste notes of the coffee that I didn’t before

Great product. It makes possible for me to have an extra fresh cup of coffee every morning.

great! this site is also informative www.bestespressoreviewer.com

Its just awesome and your presentation is good . Like it. Also one can use this reviewer site http://www.bestespressoreviewer.com/

Great Customer Service Received the grinder as a gift and it has been great for the last few years. Recently, the pin in the handle managed to fall out and I lost it. Emailed customer service in less than 3 hours since my first email, customer service said they would send a replacement handle. A great grinder and great customer service. Thank you again Jacque!

Good Grinder It's been a week since I got the grinder and it seems to do its job well. The coffee is smooth and I like how it is compact so I can take it everywhere with my Aeropress.

Easy to Use and a Pleasure to Use I was used to an electric grinder but the noise always really bothered me. And now the satisfying quiet crunch is a nice way to start the day, as well as the delicious smell of coffee beans! Thanks for a great product! I would recommend this to friends and family.

Manual Burr Grinder I had been using an electric blade grinder as a once-in-a while very inexperienced coffee drinker and did find that the grind was very inconsistent. I had been getting more interested in pour over brewing for it’s simplicity and decided to try this manual grinder. I am a sucker for well-designed everyday objects, and was very pleased with the quality. The video tutorials and extremely welcoming customer service have inspired me to explore the world of coffee :)

Customer service wins the day I loved my grinder when I got it. After a few weeks the glue that held the plastic into the body failed. I contacted Raj and in a few days I had a new one in my hand. The customer service of Java Presse is top notch. The grind quality is very consistent and it's a good looking product. The price point is excellent for what you're getting. I would like to see a more adventure friendly version in the future. Perhaps a powder coat finish on the body, parts that screw together, and a more secure way to retain the spring on the shaft. I wish I had this while I was in the Marines.

I love my grinder! I bought this grinder after researching lots of options for a hand grinder to use at home and in my office. I'm really impressed with it! And so much supportive info on the website, which is really helpful for a home barista newbie like me. Buy it, you'll love it.

Great Grinder, Awesome Company I love my JavaPresse Burr Grinder! I bought it a few months back, and I use it daily. I love being able to grind fresh grounds at work. The grinder produces a very even grind, and the coarse setting is perfect for my French Press. It's easy to clean and very portable. I'm already planning to put it in my suitcase on my next trip. In addition to being a great product, the JavaPresse company is amazing. Shortly after I got the grinder, I lost one of the tiny washers (down the sink) when I was cleaning. Customer Service didn't even hesitate. They immediately sent out a full washer replacement set. I was very impressed with their level of support. I recommend both this product and everything else this company sells.

Manual Burr Coffee Grinder Excellent customer service, the grinder is in great quality, but there is only problem is the coffee grinder produces a inconsistent grind when it is set to coarse mode. It does great job in grinding coffee from very fine to medium, but I think this grinder is not intended for French press maker. I will be happy to see upgraded version of the grinder, especially in getting rid of the blur wobble

Love my burr grinder Started using javapresse burr grinder 6 months ago. I can confirm grinding my own coffee makes for a more enjoyable cup of coffee. Not only does this company have amazing products but the customer service is beyond wonderful !

Simple and effective tool It takes a bit longer then using my electric grinder, but the grind size is much more consistent which makes it more than worth the little bit of extra time and effort. I no longer get the coffee dust that leads to sludge at the bottom of my cup. I'm tossing my electric grinder in favor of this one.

Coffee Grinder I love your coffee grinder! After plenty of research, yours was the one that had everything coffee enthusiasts recommended. I’m using the same brand of coffee I’ve always used except I made the switch to whole bean. Fresh ground coffee is amazing! I like the different settings that allow me to customize the ground based on my brewing method. I currently use a pour over filter, but I’ll be trying a French press and Aeropress next.

Pleasantly surprised! The ability to adjust the grind size and the consistency of the the grind were two standouts. Only downside is the time it takes to grind (approximately 8-10 grams a minute). I'll be using this for my camping trips though, so I'll have plenty of downtime.

Coffee Grinder I recently purchased a manual grinder from JavaPresse, because of many positive reviews on Amazon. I initially had some trouble figuring out how to set the grind setting properly, and then grinding my first batch. I thought it might be something amiss with the grinder, although I really wasn't sure about that at all. I emailed the company, not really seeking a refund or a replacement, but mostly to see if they had any tips. To my surprise, they sent a new grinder and refunded my money. The new grinder works great, and I have now become addicted to grinding my coffee manually, which is kind of a therapeutic exercise. The coffee seems to taste better. Because of this excellent service, I decided to sign up for the coffee club. I just ordered my first bag. I am sold on this company because of the customer service, and can't wait to receive my first bag of coffee beans!

Immediate fan Bought this grinder (along with a French press and coffee subscription) for the office as an alternative to our unfortunate K-cup situation and I'm an immediate fan. It's portable, quiet, and effective. I've already had two people ask me about it, and they plan to buy their own as well.

Great Coffee Coffee is smooth, I'm still learning about grinding coffee beans to get my perfect brew. The tutorials are very helpful and I love the burr grinder. I am very pleased with the product and the service.

Love this grinder! After learning about burr grinders, this is the one that I had to try! I am so glad I did! I have been using this grinder everyday for a couple of months and it is amazing! Grinding coffee while waiting for the kettle to be done is such a soothing start to my day. I have tried the recommended grinds for aeropress, pour over and french press... I love the flexibility of knowing whichever grind I want to use it will come out consistent and perfect for my brew. I was nervous to try it, but not for long because the video and information they have for use and maintenance is perfectly helpful. Thank you for a great product!

Love doing business with JavaPresse What a great company to do business with! Lots of very helpful info on how to use their products on their website, lots of info on optimal coffee brewing for different coffee-making devices (even how to come close to espresso with an AeroPress). While waiting for a product to arrive in the mail, they send emails with links to videos and written info on how to use the product you're about to receive. At other times, occasional emails gushing enthusiasm for coffee and coffee-centered morning routines, all in the format of a personal email from the head of the company. BTW, that person (Raj) actually replies in a timely way to my emailed questions! I felt as though they only had 10 customers, and I was one of them. What pushed me over the edge to write this review is very unusual (in my experience) for internet businesses: my wife loves good coffee, but her stomach doesn't tolerate caffeine well. So it's decaf for her. As for me, I don't drink coffee at all. And I get annoyed at receiving emails that are not relevant to me. So after purchasing the JavaPresse stainless AeroPress filter and the manual coffee grinder (both of which I recommend), I was really only interested to be alerted when decaffeinated fresh-roasted coffee beans became available (they weren't as of 11/2017). I contacted Raj, and he agreed to eliminate the usual periodic emails to me, but to let me know when they were ready to offer decaf coffee beans. Just what I wanted! And he implemented the change immediately, none of the "it may require 2-4 weeks for the change to take place" that I've often encountered. What a pleasure to do business with JavaPresse!

Grinder, choice of coffee Well, the service is really good so far. Downside is : vedio says it takes a minute or 2 to grind coffee.. took me more like 10. I have only received one shipment of coffee / Ethiopian _. and alto it was fresh_ its not to my taste. So if a person doesn۪t have a choice of roasts.. not sure thats a good thing.

Box crushed I love this grinder and purchased one to give my daughter. The package was absolutely STUFFED into my mailbox and the box was crushed. Thankfully the grinder itself was intact. I keep my grinder in its box but that won't be an option for my daughter. Small detail but ... it's the small details.

5 stars Happy the coffee& grinder! Thanks again for great quality products!!

Why I like the manual grinder I've used electric burr grinders for a long time, but recently had to change my grinding schedule. After I retired, I started getting up an hour or two before anyone else in the house, and couldn't really crank up an electric grinder without waking everyone. So my (safe) choice was either grind the night before or wait until everyone was up. Now that I have your manual grinder, which is very quiet, and grinds just as well as my electric grinder, I've gone back to grinding right before brewing. Thanks!

Happy Mistake:) I bought my coffee grinder because I accidentally picked up a bag of whole bean coffee from my local grocery mart. After searching Amazon, I thought the JavaPresse coffee grinder would be a great addition to my coffee routine! Now, I absolutely love my coffee grinder. It makes my mornings special! Each morning I'm happy knowing I'm going to have fresh, fragrant, and delicious coffee. My grinder works perfectly, and the informational how-to videos were very helpful! I've been using my grinder for about two months with no problems. I just love this company; the friendly e-mails, informational how-to videos, and the blog posts have all been fantastic! I love how involved they are with their customers. Thank you for a wonderful product!

Great introductory burr grinder After using for a couple weeks the quality of the manual grinder seems high. The grinder is easily cleaned and as simple to use as one would expect. Happy to have made the purchase on my first burr grinder.

3 months and 5000 miles with JavaPresse and AeroPress We just got back from 3-months and about 5,000 miles in our Class B+ Mercedes Sprinter based RV, covering about 5,000 miles. Twice a day we used our JavaPresse and Aeropress to prepare luscious coffee. We are delighted with the quality of both devices and the superb coffee it produces.

The unit Inordered from Amazon just arrived. I am not able to seaparate the two pieces. A great disappointmentment. I will return it. See above.

Live it :))) I purchased the manual burr because in the morning I want to wake up quietly and slowing and an electric grinder doesn't offer that. I received it quickly after ordering and received a very detailed personable email with a video explaining exactly what my shipment will include and how to get started using it. This was helpful since it's my first manual grinder. It was really easy to put together and get the perfect grinding adjustment. It fits easily in my cabinet not taking to much space. I love waking up in the morning to a good cup of coffee.

Solid performance I am satisfied with the grinder, pour over and French press I purchased from JavaPresse

Best Cheap Burr Grinder This is a great grinder. Gives you a consistent grind for any brewing method. I can get a fine grind for an espresso or I can go coarse and brew with a french press. It's easily broken down for cleaning and small enough to take anywhere with you.

Great design, very compact but works like a charm! I bought the grinder a few weeks ago and I can already tell how much of an impact it is making on my coffee. I used to have a $10 Mr. Coffee electronic blade grinder but the consistency was always uneven and I couldn't ever replicate coffee. With this grinder, I like having the ability to fine tune how coarse/fine I can make my grounds and I love how small and easy it fits in my kitchen! Definitely a great tool in the coffee making process.

Cubicle barista From their simple and portable manual burr grinder to their words of encouragement and perfect brew guides, JavaPresse takes their coffee life seriously and inspired me that I could be my own cubicle barista. Now it takes me less time overall than I was spending on the break room coffee that I didn't even know was sub-par until I tried my own fresh ground brew. Their manual conical burr grinder does a great job and slips neatly into my aeropress to take home for a weekend cleaning. Their mesh filter for my aeropress allows more great fresh bean flavor into my mug while still keep out nearly all of the particulates for a clean cup. Their stainless steel pour-over makes an excellent no-fuss drip brew when I'm giving my aeropress a break. It's obvious that these folks made their products for their own use because they just work, and work well. I have no doubt that they use their own products every day because of the thoughtfulness that has gone in to the design of each -- at least for the 3 I've used. My hat is off to JavaPresse for sharing their craft and making my coffee life both easier and more savory.

Great manual coffee grinder!! Simple design. Works great, the coarse grind come out perfect. You do have to work with it to find the grind you like. Nice arm workout to grind the coffee but the reward is even better.

Five Stars Great grinder!!! Simple and easy to use

It works brilliantly. I used it this morning for my espresso … It works brilliantly. I used it this morning for my espresso and it was more than capable of grinding that fine. It was also one of the fastest burr mills I've ever used. Would SO buy again or recommend to a friend.

Great for small amounts Used it once and it works really well but I'm going to look for an electric one as I make about 32oz. of coffee a day and it took about 15 minutes to grind the beans in this grinder. My mistake and not a knock on this grinder. Like I said, it works well and the coffee I made using it was excellent. So if you're brewing smaller amounts, this grinder is perfect.

Quiet and Easy (Great for Sensory Sensitivities) It is very nice that my partner can grind fresh beans in the morning with out waking me up. It's easy and not as tedious as you would assume. I would highly recommend for people who live with others on a different schedule or with sensory sensitivities. It's a great product!

Five Stars I love my new coffee grinder. Works great.

very nice grinder This grinder is one we bought to replace one (another brand) that we could not get the handle off of (which means you can't put beans in the hopper, rendering it useless). The things we particularly like about this grinder, easy to use and clean, nice sturdy heavy handle, and most importantly the clicks for dialing in your grind, so that it is reasonably easy to change the grind once you learn your number of clicks, thus my husband can use it for his pour over and I can use it for my espresso. thanks

Great for kKtchen or Camp This is a solid built quality grinder. It is a sharp clean look for any kitchen. I also like that it fits inside the tube of a Java press and the package together is great for canoe camping where space is somewhat Limited.

Love my Java Presse Coffee Grinder! Works and does all they said it would do. Very happy and would recommend.

Five Stars Great product!!

Three Stars Nice, simple design. The only beef I have is that it seems to take forever to grind the coffee.

Great for French press! What a lovely and simple product. By no means does simple mean ineffective. Great for my needs, as I am the only using if for 1 person. After you spend a few beans to gauge the grind sizing, you're good to go. The grinds come out sufficiently even, some slight variation in size but nothing short of reasonable expectations. The handle turns smooth for grinding, it's kind of a fun feeling to hear and feel the beans crush. A full container of beans will take some time to grind completely, but worth the effort.

Five Stars Works wonderfully and super easy to use.

Very dissatisfied. Purchased this grinder because my previous one from a different manufacturer broke after six months. This one broke this morning after only two months of once daily use. The internal grinding mechanism is made of plastic which breaks easily, apparently. Very dissatisfied.

Love this Strongly recommend this for all your grinding needs :) works great and very easy to use and price cannot be beat

compact, portable, good grinder Really like the compact portability of this grinder. If you have limited space in your kitchen, this is perfect since the handle comes off and stores easily into the cutlery drawer. Also great if you're brewing coffee for one. I'm the only that drinks coffee in the house, and this is perfect for that. I grind just enough for my cup every morning. The only reason this isn't a 5 star review is that the coarse grind is a little inconsistent, but if you're looking for a finer grind, then I would definitely recommend.

Five Stars Really good grinder. We like it.

Better for spices than coffee beans I grinds a small amount of coffee bean so I have use it multiple times to get enough ground for two cups of coffee. I have been using it as a spice mill which is perfect for.

This is great for a serious coffee lover who camps out or … This is great for a serious coffee lover who camps out or to make a small quantity of coffee. I like the manual nature and the overall design. It has a few excentricities though. It's hard to fill the hopper. Takes a lot of shoulder stamina. Changing grind size is not straightforward. It only makes enough coffee for one of two cups with one hopper.

Five Stars Nice as advertised product. Good doing business with you!

Was sent used product This is my second coffee grinder like this. I really like them, but for some odd reason I was sent a used one so I'm giving them 3 stars? It has remains from being previously used and small amount of coffee grinds still in the burr. I'll just sterilize it and appreciate having a nice coffee grinder.

Level of grind I like this grinder, for the most part. The only note I would have is that while the grind can be adjusted to anywhere along the coarse-fine spectrum, there are no markings or guides otherwise on the grinder to show what sort of grind you're getting - the best you can do is trial and error. So, while not a big thing, it is slightly difficult if I want to change between grinds.

easy to store and works great Compact, easy to store and works great!

Great Burr Grinder Appears to be well made and of quality materials. Easy to use right out of the box, it'll take you just a couple of minutes to make the adjustments necessary to get the grind you preferred and remember your preferences for whatever coffee your making. We made a grind for our Aeropress Coffee and Espresso Maker and it appeared just short of perfect in consistency. The grind is consistently even and you have a lot of versatility creating the grind of your choice. Don't be deterred by the time and effort it takes to use a hand grinder it's well worth it and it's easy to clean and store.

Great little grinder I love this coffee grinder. It grinds the beans uniformly without the price of an electric burr grinder and it fits in my coffee drawer when I'm not using it so it doesn't take up space on my counter. I use a single-cup pour-over filter to make my coffee, so I just turned the heat on the kettle to medium and by the time the water boils, I've finished grinding my coffee and it's in the filter ready for the water. The grinder is easy to use and adjust and came with complete instructions and a link to a website with more info (which I haven't needed but it's nice to know it's there.) My coffee is so much better than when I was using a blade grinder. Highly recommended.

Does its job very well. High quality materials. … Does its job very well. High quality materials. Wish I could attach the handle somewhere on the side while not using it.

Love it I actually bought this to pulverize some Melba Toasts as opposed to having to crush it manually with a spoon and it works great! Love the fact that you can adjust the grind size.

Fell apart right out of the box, and is now useless. I am actually so disappointed and angered by my experience with this product that I felt inclined to leave feedback. After reading all the glowing reviews, I couldn't wait to test this thing out. I followed the instructions, and while attempting to clean the item after a one-time trial use, the entire interior of the spring-lock mechanism fell apart into pieces -- the inside of the handle has spring mechanisms and as soon as I unscrewed the grinder at the bottom (as the instructions say to do to clean it), the whole spring mechanism burst out and went everywhere. I've spent the last half hour trying to re-assemble it to no avail -- there are two black rings, a silver ring, and a spring, and I've tried sliding them back in every way imaginable and have had zero luck fixing it. I was looking forward to being able to make some coffee tomorrow with my new French press, and now I have to try to send this thing back and submit a claim for it or whatever the next step is (I've never had to return something on Amazon before, so I guess I will have to look into the process). Perhaps this sounds like more of a rant than a review, but I'm sorry -- this has proven to be incredibly frustrating and it blows my mind that nowhere in the instructions do they show the interior of the spring mechanism or how to re-assemble it in case something like this were to happen.

Five Stars Great hand grinder for the price

Five Stars Morning exercise that makes the best French Press ever!

What a disappointment!! My hand is bigger than this piece of junk. What a disappointment!!! Looks very frail.

Wonderful Grinder The grinder is easy to use, and maintain. It has a wide range of settings to prepare any coffee beverage you can think of. It is well made, and a good value. If you are thinking about a hand coffee grinder, this is it!

Five Stars Good and convenient for use.

Easy-to-turn, Well-constructed Grinder I bought this to replace a cheap electric grinder and I am very pleased with it so far (have used for ~2 weeks). It is well-constructed and holds the perfect amount of beans for my french press. It only takes a minute or two to grind enough beans and the handle is very easy to turn for me. It did take a bit of experimenting with the adjustment to get the consistency I desire. The company is also very concerned with customer service and satisfaction.

Not Fine Grind I Wanted But Amazing Customer Support - BUY WITH CONFIDENCE FROM THIS VENDOR I was hoping for a finer grind for espresso but even at the finest setting, the grind is fairly course. It is a well-built product but it just does not do what I am looking for in a grinder. I had high hopes as it was bought to replace an expensive Breville conical grinder that broke after two years of use. That said, the company has gone the extra mile to make sure I am satisfied with the product. They contacted me and are going to send a replacement for the item that was shipped. JavaPresse suspects there might be some problem with the one originally shipped as it should grind a finer grain. I will update again once I have it in hand and I hope will be bumping up the star rating for the second time. I appreciate they fact that they stand behind what they sell. My recommendation, buy with confidence and if it is not what you expected to let them know.

Customer service was great and the product arrived and functioned as advertised. It took some experimentation to find the proper grind for my Aeropress, but I have settled on 7-clicks from the most fine setting (i.e. fully tightened position). I found that I need to apply pressure to the top of the grinder as I'm turning the grind adjustment knob. This helps the cylinder settle in the assembly.

Outstanding Customer Service Used my new coffee grinder last night, and it's great! Also loved the helpful video about taking the grinder apart for cleaning. This company has outstanding customer service -- they are very proactive in their desire to ensure happy buyers.

Burr = Best Local coffee shop owner recomnended a burr grinder. Easy to use right out of the box. Nice, slim design. Many settings to choose from. I recommend this product.

LOVE IT Simply: love it.

Five Stars Works great, use it to grind beans for my espresso machine. Easy to use, easy to clean.
