Manual Burr Coffee Grinder JM38 Series Stainless Steel Pentagon Conical Burr with Adjustable Setting for Pour-Over, Consistency Grinding, Silver

Ordered and delivered very next day !First impression : Upon unboxing the packaging was simple, the burr grinder, handle, cleaning brush, storage bag, and a nonslip ring.surprisingly superior built quality.it has a stainless steel burr (not ceramic) and an all-metal structure with two ball bearings. It feels nice and heavy and finely made. The crank turns easily. The coffee looks very uniform at a fine drip setting,The grinds from this grinder is pretty consistent on the course end as well. It is also certainly much faster than any ceramic grinder. I expect for this to last me quite a while.

Pros:Build quality - this thing looks and feels great. The tolerances are all good and the finishing is spot on.Not loud - you won't wake anyone up if you grind early in the morningFast - can grind about 15g of coffee in less than 30 secCons:Note: I use this only for a French press, so I can't give feedback for espresso grinding.Inconsistent grind - I've played around with different coarseness and always end up with a mix of the right size along with very fine particles that actually clog up the French press filter/plunger. They also result in quite a murky cup of coffee and a somewhat grainy mouthfeel.When I asked my local coffee shop to grind the exact same coffee using their grinder, I didn't have any of the problems I mentioned above.The hopper has rubber gaskets which fit really well, but I worry will eventually wear out and loosen over time. I wish they made it threaded so that it screws into the base.Quite disappointing because apart from that, It looks and feels great for the price.Not exactly a con but keep in mind the capacity is about 15-17g of beans

This product is amazing.. i tried it since i am a coffee lover.. and i'm amazed.. Its easy to use and the quality is good.. we tried it in the office and they love it.. the delivery is very fast.. it is very handy you can bring it everywhere you go.. it comes with a brush and a small bag.. overall.. i love this item and i highly recommend this product...

Very good. But the maximum capacity is 20-25 gram.

Value for money (got it discounted on Amazon prime day) and excellent construction. Much faster than my older cheaper grinder. A bit confusing to set up grinding size. Not clear where zero is and how numbers on dial correspond to grind size. Instructions on manual are confusing. Better add a digital manual to refer to. Seller was very helpful in answering my queries. The bottom part holding ground coffee slips when holding grinder. Hence need to put grinder on kitchen top when grinding.

Very good burr does the job properly

I really like it.. thanks Brew is life

After one month of usage I can say I’m very satisfied with this grinder. The burr grinder is sharp and strong and produces consistent coffee grinds. The built quality is great. Adjusting the grind setting is a little bit confusing but works great once you figure it out (disregard the grind level numbers written on the bottom and just count from point 0)

This is a very well built Manual grinder. Weighs almost a pound and you can feel the quality the moment you hold it. Used it for a week and it produces very consistent grind. Takes half the time to grind compared to other $20 ceramic grinders. This produces very fine powder and since it is a step grinder you can adjust the grind size very precisely. The recommended 14 to 20 steps for pour over coffee is just too fine for my taste. I had to place it at 26th step. Only issues I had was..you have to be careful with the handle..make sure not to tilt the grinder without holding the handle. The bottom container is not so convenient to open and close...I would have liked it to be thread lock system. And the price is still high for just aluminium and steel parts but compared to other premium grinders, this is still reasonably priced. Overall...would recommend this grinder if you are making pour over with expensive coffee..

Just received this in the mail, so this review is first impressions only.Pros:Good quality construction, seems sturdy and all parts fit nicely together and have no visible flaws. Good weight. Test run produced nice fine grains, haven’t tested more coarse settings. I like that the entire thing can be taken apart and put back together. Good compact size, perfect for a single cup of coffee in the morning and it comes with carrying case. Attractive design.Cons:The burrs are stainless steel, but it’s not clear from the manual whether or not they contain aluminum. All other metal parts are aluminum, which I don’t like personally, but it is heavy enough for ease of use. The top is a plastic disk/window, which I also don’t like, and it just rest on top which means it pops off during grinding if you’re not careful. The wooden handle is a tiny bit squeaky. Three separate chambers for beans, seems like this could make it challenging to get a consistent grind but I have not tested this theory.None of the cons are deal breakers for me, I look forward to using this to replace my old school electric grinder for my morning pour overs seems like a good deal for the price point, probably a good starter manual grinder. I may replace it with something with no aluminum or plastic parts in the future.

This is the only manual coffee grinder I've used, but it feels like a great value for the money. I have an electric burr grinder that I was very happy with, but my wife and son absolutely hated the noise first thing in the morning so I needed something quieter. The only guaranteed way to grind coffee without making a racket is a manual grinder, so I reluctantly started shopping for one. I'm the only one in my house who drinks coffee and it's only one cup a day, so my needs are not serious. After spending too much time reading reviews and watching YouTube videos I finally decided to take a chance on this one. My theory is that you get way more bang for your buck buying something made in China (like this one) vs. the more famous brands that are made in Japan and Germany. In particular, it has a stainless steel burr (not ceramic) and an all-metal structure with two ball bearings. It feels nice and heavy and finely made. The crank turns easily. The coffee looks very uniform at a fine drip setting, possibly even more uniform than on my Bodum electric burr grinder. For me it takes probably less than a minute to grind ~20 grams of coffee. It's certainly more effort than an electric grinder, but it's not awful and it makes about as much noise as a pepper grinder. Peace reigns in my house once again!

I bought it because the measurements seem like it would fit inside an Aeropress for travel, but it doesn't - BARELY. The build quality seems good, but it doesn't matter if it doesn't fit. I'll probably return without trying it. If I find out that I can return after using it, I'll try it out and amend this review because otherwise it seems pretty solid.I can't believe somebody would go to all the trouble of making a travel coffee grinder that is just barely (maybe 0.5 mm) too wide to fit into an Aeropress. It is a really really bad design mistake, because otherwise it seems great and fitting inside an Aeropress is a big selling-point for a travel grinder.If you want a travel grinder for efficient packing with your Aeropress, look elsewhere.

It grinds coffee quickly and with little effort. The grind is very even. But, it is not easy to set the grind. Also, the grinder has two components: the grinder portion and the chamber receiving ground coffee. Separating them takes considerable effort and even more effort to put them back together. This makes it frustrating to use. I had to remove the O-rings to make it usable and hold it together while I grind. They attached a wooden handle that made a loud, annoying squeak until I applied mineral oil. Makes great coffee, but I rate it 2 stars.Update: I tried to replace this one with another at this price point but the grindevenness wasn't as good, and so the coffee wasn't as good. So I took a chance and bought another of these for use at my place of work. This one separates much easier, which removes the frustration. With this I move it up from 2 to 3 stars. The consistent grind makes very good coffee!
