Great little coffee grinder
I really liked this coffee grinder. It has a sturdy build, and feels surprisingly heavy in your hand. It looks like it is hand-made, as it has those imperfections that are typical for hand-made artisanal goods. I personally don't mind that at all, as it does not take away from the functionality, but certainly adds character. There was no instruction included with the grinder, but the Amazon product listing actually has everything you need to know.I do suggest you at least wipe off the coffee compartment at the bottom before the first use. Mine had small metal particles, and I certainly did not want that in my brew. I also discarded a first small batch of coffee grinds, just in case there was something in the grinding mechanism as well, as it is made out of metal as well.To adjust the coarseness you simply use the same handle you use for grinding the beans. Simply turn the bolt at the bottom of the grinder clockwise (see my 2nd and 3rd pic), until you get the coarseness that you prefer. I turned it too tight for my likeness at first, and it came out a perfect espresso quality.The bean compartment would hold enough to use for several cups (well, unless you drink more of a mud type of a brew :-)). I would say it is perfect for one or two mugs at the time (or several smaller European cups), after which is gets kind of annoying to use it (but again, a matter of preference).Overall this is a great product if you prefer a manual burr grinder, and need something compact that does not take up space. I also think it is beautiful, and very well made.

Works well, looks classy
My electric burr grinder doesn't go nearly fine enough for Turkish coffee and this one had good reviews, so I gave it a try. Before trying it with coffee, I cleaned it out by grinding some rice. I then adjusted the burr using the crank handle until they just started touching while turning the shaft, and backed it off a hair so they no longer touched. The result is perfectly powdered coffee that works great in an Ibrik. The mechanism is pretty stout and it has some weight to it, so I expect it to last a while. I also like how the handle folds up and hides inside when not in use.

Looks good, works good, seems solid
At the time of this review, I've used the grinder only once. I did not have to adjust the grind settings, as the grind was the way that I'd want it. Functionally, I'd say that it is perfectly functional. It is fairly heavy, which gives it a solid, durable feel. It's attractive, and it doesn't take up a lot of space.I have another manual grinder that I have used for several years now and am happy with, so I probably won't be using this one for my daily coffee. I bought it to use while camping or traveling. I know, and concede that a normal person might simply grind the beans before they left on a camping trip, and I'll probably do that for short overnighters, but I like freshly ground coffee, and I like the idea of grinding my own coffee out in the woods or not having to depend on hotel coffee. Time will tell as to how often I use this grinder, but I am not unhappy with my purchase.The cons are not major ones. It would be better if the handle fitted onto the grinder a little more firmly. That's not a deal-breaker but I think it would help with the functionality of the grinder if I didn't have to push down at the same time that I am turning the grinder handle. The only other one that I can think of is that it would be nice if the spoon would fit into the grinder so that it wouldn't have to be carried separately, but I doubt that I'll use the spoon anyhow. It is cute, but since I can't fit it into the grinder, it will probably be lost within a year.Later, I have since used this several times and stand by my initial review. It's not my go-to grinder, or the one that I use on daily basis because it takes longer than my other manual grinder and is best for a fine grind, but I take it when I am traveling and I continue to like it.

Not a coffee grinder so much...
Regardless of what it says, there is no grind adjustment on this. Sent as a gift and her hubby (mechanically inclined) used the crank for 5 mins and only got half teaspoon of coffee ground. He thinks it’s really a pepper grinder disguised as a coffee grinder. The area in the grinder is too small for anything coffee bean size. Also, the unit (copper) is good looking enough but the silver steel shaft coming out of the top ruins the ‘look’. Had to return it...

Worth it!
This gorgeous coffee grinder is really easy to use and high quality. It doesn’t only make your coffee corner look more beautiful but conventional. If you’re thinking of buying this item, don’t think twice, just go ahead and get it. You won’t regret it (just so know, don’t get it if you’re looking to grind lots of coffee daily, it works better for small portions).

Great manual grinder
This is a great little grinder. I had purchased a similar one in Turkey in the 90's, and found this on Amazon and had to purchase it. Just like the one purchased in Turkey, this little grinder was made to grind coffee. While it grinds coffee beans well, I use it for grinding spices. I've found that grinding whole spices is so much better than storing pre-ground spices. This grinder comes with a little scoop, a detachable handle/crank, a removable cover, the body (with the burr), and a removable bottom, that catches the coffee/spices. It has a screw at the bottom to adjust the size of the grind. Looks good on a counter and super-easy to use and clean.

Won't Work as a Spice Grinder
The grind size is not very adjustable and will only come out as fine as sand so this will really only work as a coffee grinder, but I would caution against even that as while attempting to grind sage leaves (which is much softer than coffee beans) with this, I got quite a lot of metal shavings out as well. I thought perhaps I got a defective one, but I see others have complained as well. Perhaps just stay away from this one.

Muy practico!
Su diseño, su manera “vintage” de moler, su cucharita; con el nivel de grosor precargado me fue muy práctico para moler el clavo.MI ERROR: como una más de las personas que se creen muy “sabiondas”, no leí el instructivo previamente (moler arroz antes de tu café o especias🤦🏻♀️)…Inconveniente: el instructivo o señala en dónde es que se ajusta el grado del molido (o no lo interpreté) y apenas voy a “adivinar” si para regular debo manipular el tornillo externo o colocar la manivela en el extremo inferior del mecanismo…🤷🏻♀️

Too expensive, unimpressive results, waste of money!

Nice looking grinder
You have to give it a little knock now and then to free the coffee beans when grinding, or the beans get stuck and you end up grinding thin air. That's not much of a problem though.[Edit] ...Just to add, before I bought this I'd read a few reviews complaining of bits of metal appearing when the coffee had been ground, so I purchased a small magnet at the same time. I've run the magnet over the ground coffee on quite a few occasions and it has never picked up any metal.

使い易い。
レビューでは色々いわれているが、使い易い。グラインドで空回りすることがあるけれど許容範囲内です。尚、豆が細かくひけるので重宝しています。
