Good Coffee Grinder
I like French press, and needed something that I could do both a course grind (for French press) and a regular grind for drip. This does both well. It’s not fancy and I like that it is manual and part of my coffee ritual. Grind a jar full and seal it up. Having the extra jar and lid is very handy. This does exactly what I want and it does it well. It’s easy to change the settings. It’s easy enough grind the coffee.

I like this coffee grinder. Detailed review below.
This is a pretty nifty little coffee grinder for just under $15. It wasn’t hard to assemble and adjust, but it is a manual process. If you’re adverse to anything that requires more than turning a dial to adjust the grind, buy a more expensive coffee grinder. But if you’re willing to take 30 seconds to figure the thing out, it’s super easy. It comes with a really basic instruction sheet, so here’s my version: Remove the top nut that holds the handle on, lift out the stopper piece that holds your adjustment in place (a nice feature), and turn the star nut to raise and lower the grinding burr. Moving it higher will give a finer grind, lowering it will provide a coarser grind. I just pulled it up as high as it would go, then gave the star nut a few twists to lower it a bit. That resulted in the moderately fine grind I wanted. The central shaft is keyed, shaped so that the stopper piece (adjustment keeper) and handle will only fit on in a certain position. This keeps either from slipping as you use the grinder.Using the grinder wasn’t effortless, but it wasn’t hard at all. As an old mechanic whose hands aren’t what they used to be, it wasn’t uncomfortable. The knob on the grinder’s handle is a nice size, and easy to hold on to. It grinds coffee beans with minimum effort. Two mostly full grinder bowls of coffee beans was enough to fill the jar. I use ground coffee in my K-Cup brewer along with the K-Cups, and I’m guessing that the ground coffee in the jar will fill the filter cup for my brewer four or five times.It was really easy to clean, too. Remove the top nut, take off the handle and lift out the stopper, spin the star nut off, and the grinding burr comes right out. Just look at the number of threads on the grinder shaft above the star nut before you remove it. That’ll let you approximate your previous setting when you reassemble it.In conclusion: I don’t grind a lot of coffee beans, just when I find good whole bean coffee on sale. If you grind coffee beans for every cup you drink, you might want to spend more money. But for me, this little guy is perfect. It was so easy to disassemble and clean that I’ll try it for other grinding tasks. When I’ve got veggies like celery or carrots in the fridge on the verge of going bad before I use them, I’ll dehydrate them and grind them into a dried veggie mix to flavor soups and such. I’ve used a little twist grinder to do that before, but I think this grinder would be great for that too.It also came with a cleaning brush (another nice feature for the price), and a long handled scoop that has an alligator tooth gripper on the back. I have no idea what that’s for.If you’re on a tight budget like me, and want a pretty good grinder for a great price, buy this one.

Hand grinder
It takes a little effort, but you can freshly grind every pot without the noise of an electric, I think it takes about 5 minutes

Easy to use well designed
This is a decent and fully functional ceramic burr grinder. I got it to coarse grind beans for a French press when I travel it does that well. The grind adjustment is easy and accurate. Easy to get a very fine grind if that is what you want. Just remove the clip turn the screw as indicated in the directions and there you are. Easy to clean if desired. Grinding a French press’s worth of coffee took no time nor effort. Seems sturdy enough. I saw some reviews that suggested it was fragile. It doesn’t seem to be. The grinding arm is strong enough for its purpose. A very good deal for the price. I am likely to buy another for a vacation home.

Good grinder, price and shipper
Very good coffee bean grinder. It does take a little time to grind a jar full, but you don’t want to grind too much at one time, for freshness sake. It is very easy to adjust for the perfect grind. I use a more corse grind since I use a retro electric percolator. I love the taste and smell of fresh ground and perked coffee. The extra jar is perfect. Thanks for a well built product and fast shipping. BTW, you can remove the handle and attach a drill motor to it to grind the beans. CAUTION: go slow on the drill or it will burn the ground beans, defeating the purpose of buying a manual grinder in the first place. I highly recommend this product to anyone who has a grip and 5 minutes to spare. You won’t regret it.
