FLASNAKE Manual Coffee Grinder, Conical Burr Mill & Brushed Stainless Steel, Best for Aeropress, Drip Coffee, Espresso, French Press, Turkish Brew

The breakdown...1. The top part where the adjusting screw is, had a wirey protrusion that stabbed deeply into my finger. I had to use wire cutters to remove it.2. It came heavily covered in machine oil, even the burrs were greased. If you have a dishwasher, running it through 2-3 times should take care of this problem, but I don't. I soaked the thing in soapy, boiling water 3x, then hot vinegar water, and still couldn't get the oil out of it. Even after completely disassembling it and scrubbing it with soap, it still stank of rancid machine oil. I eventually got the bright idea to run something dry and starchy through it to bind with the oil and get it out of the burrs. I didn't want to waste expensive coffee, so I ran some popcorn through and that finally did the trick.3. There's no way to store the grounds in the grinder b/c the top is open air and the bottom is hinged with no way to put a lid on it, so one has to remove any extra grounds to another container.4. The bottom is tac-welded in 4 places. Would be a great improvement (easier to clean) if it was screwed on.5. The grinder wants to twist in my hand as I am grinding. The hinge and clasp make it difficult to grasp. Plus as it twists, they cut into my hand. Again, this should screw on for ease of cleaning and easier to handle, and would allow for a lid to store the grounds in the bottom.6. It's a lot bigger than I expected. About the size of a jar of spaghetti sauce. It would be good for car camping, but much too big/heavy for backpacking.7. The hopper is set up so that the beans don't jump out while grinding. I was skeptical about buying a grinder w/o a lid, but this proved it isn't necessary while grinding. Still would be nice for storage though.8. Once I figured out the setting for the size grounds that work for me, I got a consistent grind size from it.9. Many people complain about how long it takes to grind manually. Well duh, an electric grinder can spin 1000's of times /min, Humans can only spin about 1time/3sec, so of course it'll take longer. I got this for off-the grid use, which means very limited power supply. Also, During the beginning of the COVID quarantine, my electric one broke, and I couldn't get another. To get my coffee fix, I resorted to grinding beans in my mortar and pestle. This gave me inconsistent size pieces, was a lot more of a workout than the manual grinder, and the beans ruined the mortar with their oils soaking into it. I can't get he mortar clean, therefore I can't use it for crushing garlic and herbs anymore. This bur grinder is a great improvement over the mortar and pestle.Overall, once I got it clean and dialed in, it works well. It'll be a good addition to my camper, and I'll have no hesitation pulling it out during a power outage. It's worth the $20. I paid.

Grinds coffee beans great but it's so light that it's hard to keep flat on the counter while I'm grinding beans. Makes beans spill everywhere and it's a problem that could be fixed if it were made with thicker metal and maybe some grips on the bottom of the grinder so that it doesn't slide all over the counter while trying to grind coffee beans.

I give this product zero stars if that were an option. It broke the first time I used it. The metal base at the bottom of the container popped off, spilling all of the coffee beans I’d just ground into it. There’s no way of snapping it back into place or twisting It back on. It’s just faulty. Buyer beware.

This grinder works great. It doesn’t feel super high quality, but it doesn’t exactly feel cheap either. I’d say it’s good for the price. If you’re only grinding enough coffee for one cup and have it set to course grind, it only takes about 30 seconds, and it turns pretty smoothly. It didn’t come with instructions explaining how to adjust it, but it’s pretty easy to figure out. Overall, I’d say I’m happy with it. I can’t speak to the longevity as I just received it today, but I’ll try to update this review if I run into any issues with it.

I think this grinder should be a conversation piece. It’s too bulky for traveling or even camping. It takes too long to grind the few beans you put in it. I love it as a conversation piece. I think it looks really cool. But I hate it for grinding coffee beans.

It’s pretty, but not functional. It took 20min to grind 1tbsp of coffee beans!

Doesn't do a great job grinding up coffee beans, they dont stay pushed down in the blades that well. This causes it to take a lot more time to grind the beans. It is nice and convenient for traveling and occasional use though

No es el mismo que yo pedí no es igual a la foto pero la pude usar para lo que yo queria
