OXOBrew Manual Burr Coffee Grinder

really pleased with this grinder

I am very particular about products, and because this is in a way a "travel product", about finding the intersection between function and portability.The feeling in the hand of this product inspired me to write this review. The designers and implementers of this product at OXO are to be put down on the eternal list of people who conceived and made wonderful things. The way the arm for the grinding part collapses back on itself to insure that the footprint of the grinder stays tight, but does so in a way that feels like my hand finds it and collapses it without needing to read any manual ... these things are difficult to do. The level of resistance it has to coming out of its collapsed form is just right. The heft of the body of it is just right. How it screws tight and unscrews is just right. The dialing of the burr grinder is also just right - no manual required to understand it, and' clicks + visual marks to tell me where it is on the dial.I probably have 5 travel grinders, so I am not unacquainted with the genre. And here, I am ... deeply impressed. A+, my OXO friends. Well done.

I actually love it. I can grind both coffee beans and dried whole spices.

Easy to use and well worth the cost. Needs a little brush to do it right though! I can't believe they did not think of that!

I just got this right out of the box and started experimenting with grinds, it does an outstanding job and is a perfect size for traveling too. I love it so far and I can’t wait to try it out camping.

The media could not be loaded. This might be the first OXO product I am not super happy with. Normally, they have nice well thought out designs and made of good quality materials. This one just doesn’t hit that mark.The enclosed directions gave good information about dissembling the item for cleaning and how to put it back together. Also a chart for what grind setting you should have it at, depending on what kind of brew you will be using the grounds for. There is a grinding wheel under the top attachment, just turn the knob to the size grounds you desire. Be prepared, if you want fine grounds for an espresso it will take a LONG amount of time to grind enough for one cup. The issue with the (lack of) directions for how much to grind per cup is annoying. There is a 20g marker on the side of the grinder that we just kind of had to assume was for a one cup measurement. I guess just playing around with the amounts will ultimately give you the correct cup of coffee.This does have a nice compact design. The handle slides in for storage, so it doesn’t take up much room in your cabinet. For just brewing one or two cups of coffee/espresso this would make a nice unit. Especially for travel or camping.The main negatives about this item are: it is very time consuming to grind even the smallest amount and it just doesn’t feel quality. The area where the whole beans section and the grounds section fit together does not feel solid. It seems to flex while grinding, I felt the need to support that section while grinding. Kind of feels like it could snap at some point.Overall, just no. The amount of effort, time and the MESS it made.. just weren’t worth the effort. Could’ve just run out to a local coffee joint and back home in the same amount of time! 😆

Efficient, effective and ergonomic!

Love it !
