I was somewhat sceptical about buying this grinder loooking at people's reviews on here, but I'm glad I bought it.
In response to negative points, particularly on the 1* review, I believe there may have been a fault with theirs, I have experienced no such problem with attaching the handle, and the instructions explain how to adjust the grind.
I'm using this primarily for a french press, but I had an experiment as to how fine the grind was to go, and I got it to a very fine grind, that was exceptionally even, ideal for espresso really, particularly for this price. Of course, at that fineness it would take a while, which leads me on to a point about speed.
I use a Kitchenaid Proline grinder at home partnered with my espresso machine, and that churns through the coffee, at amazing pace, I was somewhat taken aback at how much turning you actually have to do to get enough for an 800ml press. Having said that, you should work out the ideal rotating speed, as I find that going to fast takes the grinding speed down as the beans have a harder time getting into the mechanism.
With regards to the other negative point about the wooden drawer. I can imagine it may be a little cramped if you were grinding for a very large press, but otherwise, I have had no problems. Furthermore, I'm not sure why you'd need to clean it as the coffee comes out with a nice tap, there is very little I would complain about with regards to the drawer.
All in all, it's a very solid device, and not only all of this, but it looks neat too, really quite elegant sitting in your office, or in your kitchen. And at ~£15 it's a real bargain. I really do recommend it, I'm very happy!

I bought this as a gift for my partner and it has been used every day since it arrived. We are very happy with the coffee mill and wanted something sustainable rather than going for something that would use electicity and be another unused gadget in the back of the kitchen cupboard.
We are pleased with the mill save for the fact that if you fill the receiving bowl too much the beans tend not to fall into the grinder and it takes a lot of shaking and proding to get the beans properly ground up. Other than that it is great.

Very poorly designed
Put simply, it's not that great at grinding beans. You'll find yourself having to give the whole unit a shake to get smaller beans into the grinding mechanism, and larger beans;... Read more

Slow. Very slow, but sure
On the plus side this is a reliable piece of kit because there's nothing much to go wrong and it looks pretty in the kitchen. Read more

Coffee milling
The machine is in good order but works very poorly with beans unless they are of the smallest size. Frustrating to get enough done for a decent cup!

Completely useless!
I bought this for my brother for his birthday and was glad to be there when he used it. I think it took us 10 minutes in the end to make a small cafetiere up. Read more

Reasonable coffee grinder, but some silly design flaws
This is a fairly competent grinder (I use an Aeropress coffee maker and it grinds the beans well for this purpose), but there are some glaring oversights in its design. Read more

Stylish and functional
I am very pleased with this product as a present. It really does look great, very retro and works well with no issues of stuck beans. Read more

do not buy
I have to say this is worthless. Despite repeated adjustments by 3 different people, this does not work properly. Read more

grinder for people with all day!
Takes ages to grind enough beans for a medium sized cafetiere as you have to keep shaking and winding the handle the other way to get the beans to catch. Read more
