Porlex JP-30 Stainless Steel Manual Coffee Grinder - Premium Burr Mill for Espresso, French Press & Pour Over - Perfect for Home, Office & Travel Use

Note: I only use this with my french press.Like whoa. This is the way to go if you grind for yourself and have even minor arm strength. Imagine a pepper grinder, with a handle and instead of it coming out of the bottom it collects in the lower portion of itself. You can put a few cups worth of beans in here (depending on your method / ratios) and then spend half to probably a full minute grinding it all up. I can see why people don't like how long it takes to grind but I make one cup at a time and it doesn't bother me at all. The few times I've filled it with beans it took quite a while (a minute or so) but the effort is small compared to how useful and cheap this thing is!!Not perfectly consistent grind, mostly because the outer ceramic burr is allowed to float (probably to keep the stresses low) but that means it will frequently offset itself relative to the center burr (which is fixed in place by the shaft) which creates a vary gap (two circles that aren't concentric). However, I do not find this to be a problem even with my french press because I just go for a coarse grind, maybe just a tad too coarse and I don't have any real problems with sediment (it's there, but not a lot and easily avoided). If i start dialing down the grind to what I feel is pretty small for a french press then the consistency gets worse and I get more sediment. Still not terrible, but to avoid this I just keep it a little more coarse (couple of clicks).I wish there was a more consistent way to dial in the grind after taking it apart, which you will need to do in order to clean it. The technique is to fully tighten the adjustent thumb nut when putting it back together. The small issue is that the burs are ceramic and you need to sort of push them into each other a bit in order to get the nut to "fully" tight. If you don't push the burrs together then sometimes they will align differently which means the nut will actually be a couple of clicks away from "fully" tight, so when you count off the clicks to your preferred grind size you will be off. In reality, this just means grinding a few beans after you re-assemble to double check the grind (you can seriously put 6 beans in and check it before you grind enough for your cup). Or, if you push the burrs together a bit then you can pretty much just rely on counting the clicks (-8I have not had this thing forever, but I expect it to last for a LONG time to come. Quality stainless steel, ceramic, and plastic construction. Simple elegant design with nice consistency for coarse french press (again, that's all I use it for) .Also, really small. Again, pepper grinder size, but less than 12" long and the handle easily comes off (you have to remove the handle to open the lid, but that ensures that the list is fully closed when you're grinding, so there is ZERO dust that comes out while grinding or when closed).For $40 you cannot go wrong with this thing unless your arms are weak. If you have no arm strength (for whatever reason) this is not for you, but it's really not hard to grind if you ask me (-8 Super small, easy to use, and portable.
