DiseZeit-Z3PRO Manual Coffee Grinder, 7-Axis Stainless Steel Burr, Three-Stage Disassembly Easy Cleaning, 15-25g Capacity Espresso Coffee Grinder Manual with Adjustable Settings, Brush&Storage Bag

For many years, I had always wanted to get a manual coffee grinder to put me in closer contact with my earthy brew and, perchance, move a step closer to the perfect cup. Being a bit of a coffee connoisseur, I'd long since migrated away from ground coffee to grinding my own beans but I never liked the static electricity that seemed to always accompany the electric burr grinders. I tried several and always ended up with electrified coffee chaff and grounds jumping all over my counter whenever I used them. Hence, I ended up switching to a series of the non-burr, high-speed impact type that work pretty well overall and don't seem to make as much mess.I'd heard many anecdotal comments that any high speed type of grinder would heat the beans and change the taste of the coffee but I was skeptical. Still, I loved the idea of being energy independent, if need be, and being able grind my own coffee beans in manly fashion by the power of my own arms and hands. What's wrong with a little mandatory morning exercise to get the blood moving?Well, I am a skeptic no more! Much to my surprise, my coffee somehow does actually taste better with this little hand grinder. Perhaps I'm making it a little stronger than I had before but the taste has taken on a natural fullness and sweetness that the same beans just haven't had before. I mean this in all sincerity. I adjusted the grind to my favored size for the french press I use and getting it just right with this grinder was easy to do and only took a couple of tries. I've never had to touch the adjustment again since it stays right where I set it and the grounds are uniform.And, despite the fact the beans I use daily are very fresh and, therefore, oily, I have no need to clean this little grinder. It just does what it needs to do several times each morning with no hick-ups, no surprises, and no apparent buildup of any kind. Maybe one day I will open it and check the burrs for deposits, but so far, I don't see any need to do so.Things I've been enjoying most about it since I first held it in my hands are the weight and the joyous feel of working with a finely crafted, precision instrument. Despite the price, it really gives the impression that you're working with something of very high quality that does its job impeccably well due to engineering and craftsmanship. I actually look forward to using it each morning and like the little "workout" I get preparing my beans for brewing. It's quite satisfying to feel the beans being ground up through your own effort and I don't think I'd ever be inclined to go back to the easier way. Honestly, I don't think there's any chance I could wear this out in my remaining years because it's so well made.Would I change anything? Well, only nit-picky little things. The handle is held in place (after filling the top with beans) by a hidden magnet that attaches to the top end of the grinder shaft. Though certainly adequate, the magnet could be just a tiny bit stronger to inspire more confidence. It has yet to ever come off unexpectedly.The fit of the handle onto the grinder shaft could also be just a tiny bit less "sloppy" than it is. Believe me, none of this is a problem or a defect; these changes would just add to the feeling of precision and the joy of using this little grinder.One other thing that could be enhanced a little is the vertical ridges that help you grip the grinder could be just a little bit deeper and more "aggressive" feeling to enhance the grip. I do end up having to grip it a little more firmly if my hands are dry. If I moisten them a little, the grip is much improved so, again, no big deal.One last thing, I measured the beans I use in my french press on a gram scale and ordered this model instead of any others due to the larger stated capacity being close to what I need for one full french press brew. The stated (claimed) capacity is larger than what it actually holds and falls a bit short of what I'd need to fill my french press to capacity.Ultimately, I ended up changing over to an in-mug brewer (a stainless tea strainer basket) and haven't looked back. My coffee is better and one fill of the grinder per large mug works great for me. Small sacrifice and it's even easier to clean up, now, than before. I can make the effort to grind twice if I need to fill the french press for guests. With the challenge and novelty of the grinder, I'm sure I'll even be able to recruit one of them for the job!Just as a point of reference: It takes me between 50-60 revolutions to grind a slightly overfilled chamber of beans at the setting I use. Probably takes about a minute of smooth, circular motion and requires minimal strength or real effort. You may be able to tell that I really do love this little thing and, of course, I highly recommend it to anyone!

I have been using it for a couple of weeks now, it works perfectly, I use it daily 3 times a day and the grinding is exactly what I need for my V60, it is not an invention but I do recommend this grinder, good price and quality

I can't stand having preground coffee while camping. I have a breville barista express at home and now I don't use it because the moka pot and this grinder make as good if not better iced latte's. Anyways I bought this for camping and now I use it at home every day because it's so awesome! It's at least on par with the electric burr grinder on the breville, if not a little better. If you get lazy it looks like you could hook a drill up to where the handle goes as well. So far it's been durable and a great value for the price. I've seen some reviews say it's hard to either put together or take a part.Burr grinders don't need cleaned that often or taken apart, if you change coffee roasters or beans just brush the grinds out of the bottom. I've taken the grinder apart on my breville 3 times in about 8 years to clean it.

Worked great, was using it everyday for 3 weeks. Seems to be built well but the threads that connect the burr to the top (the dark grey piece in the middle) suddenly loosened as I was grinding. Seemed strange so I took it apart. There were some grinds inside near the threaded portion and when I attempted to screw the pieces back together it just kept spinning and spinning. The threads are very fine and not as durable as the rest of the grinder. I usually don’t post negative reviews but this type of failure would have been impossible for me to have caused due to user error and as this is a new product I’m confident that this will become a recurring issue.

I'm absolutely stunned at how well this grinds coffee! I grind medium roast coffee, usually 16gr for a double espresso shot and I can grind it in 30 seconds no problem!, it's really fast, but you gotta set the right grinding setting because this can grind so fine it might choke your machine.Cleaning is very easy as it's disassembly, the 0 is at 3 though, weird but you just got to count each click and tale notes of your grind settings.Would definitely recommend this grinder in bronze color, it looks stunning in person.

The grinder is very attractive, nice color, grinds coffee well and looks great on the counter, if that's important to you. It's very sturdy, you can probably run over it and it will survive. However, the hopper is so small, you need to refill it every time you want a cup of coffee. Making things worse is the fact that the hopper is unaccountably divided into 3 chambers, which reduces its size even further. Also, you often end up with one chamber empty and the grinder stops grinding as if it was unable to pick up beans from the other 2 chambers. You then have to shake it to redistribute the beans. Tiresome. Looking for a new grinder. Again!!

Works well, easy to assemble and disassemble, easy to set my grind 🥰

Not sure how to adjust the grind. Will have to send seller a message to find out how and if it does Turkish well I’ll change to 5 stars once I test it out. But it is beautiful.
