I had previously bought the Norpro Coffee Grinder - mostly for the price, manual use and old-fashioned look. It was a disaster. Within a month a piece of metal broke out of the inside and the extremely coarse ground coffee now was barely ground, almost whole, coffee beans! This Hario Coffee Mill was my next purchase and worth the money spent! I have never seen such finely ground coffee! The machine is easy to use and looks great! The copper fits in with my kitchen perfectly! Downside - the instruction manual is not in English! Thankfully, this grinder is self explanatory. Put the rubber base on the bottom, attach the handle and don't forget to remove the cork stopper inside the canister area before grinding! I love the sealed glass canister for storing extra ground coffee for the next day. It also comes with a hard plastic domed "dust cover" that rests on top with a notch cutout for the handle. They don't show you that in the picture. Nice feature! Highly recommended!

I decided to stop drinking sodas in the morning, for my caffine, and start drinking coffee instead. I like the coffee beans that you grind in the store because they taste far better than most other coffees. But I heard that you can tell a real difference in taste from freshly ground beans. And I had already decided to buy a French Press.So, I've been grinding coffee with this little grinder for a couple of weeks now. Seems like a lot of people consider a manual coffee grinder as a "decoration" rather than a machine to get a job done. I was real worried that this thing would be "flimsy" and chose it because it "looked" to be better constructed than a lot of other coffee grinders. I was not disappointed. The canister is glass, so it's fragile - of course, but the grinder is metal and ceramic and solid enough that I imagine I'll be using this thing for many years to come on a daily basis.It's pretty easy to adjust for different coarseness of the grind. I've been doing a pretty thick grind for the French Press and it's done a pretty good job with that. I think it's opening and closing the gap where it grinds, nothing too mechanically complicated. When you open it up quite a bit it starts giving you large chunks of the beans, but I can't imagine anyone needing a grind that coarse anyway. Personally, I'm thinking of trying a finer grind rather than a more coarse grind.The rubber piece on the bottom is something that you put on, rather than a permenant piece. I'm not sure what it's for unless your cabinet is pretty slick.I was worried that it would be cumbersome or difficult to grind the coffee. It's not. Waiting for water to boil in the microwave to use the French Press is a bigger "burden" than grinding the coffee. I make one 8 ounce cup and it takes me less than 30 seconds to pour the beans in and grind. The whole thing is super easy to operate and takes almost no arm strength.The ONLY complaint I have about this grinder is that it's not super easy to hold on to. It's not hard to hold on to, it just "could" theoretically be a little easier. The problem is how narrow the canister is and that the crank goes way outside of that radius. So, any downward pressure on the crank makes it want to tip over. It's not enough of a problem for me to consider buying a different grinder, and I suspect this is a common problem on manual grinders that have a long enough crank arm to make the grinding easy. You definatley don't want to shorten the crank arm, because that will just make grinding more arm work. But a canister that's 12 inches in diameter would look a bit akward even if it would be easier to press down on to hold the grinder in place while you crank the arm.It "might" bother some people that ALL the instructions that come with it are in Japanese. What, you don't read Kanji? However, it really doesn't matter. "Assembly" is basically: put the rubber ring on the canister at the bottom. Unscrew the screw at the top with your hand and put the crank on it. Then put the screw back on and tighten. There's a little piece that you turn under where the crank is attached that controls the coarseness of the grind. Adjust it and you're ready to go. It comes with a "guard" to prevent beans from comming out of the hopper, but I haven't had a need to use it. But assembly and setup is THAT simple. A fourth grader could do it without instructions.Anyway, it's well built and does a real good job. I'm VERY satisfied with the purchase. I would recommend it to my best friend.

I originally had the Hario MSS-1B Mini Mill Slim Coffee Grinder which I loved, and needed to buy a second grinder (I ended up showing my dad the joys of having freshly ground coffee and don't have the heart to take my coffee grinder away from him). I wanted another hand grinder but wanted something with a bit more style. I ended up getting this one since it's the same brand as the one I had and it also had pretty solid reviews. Plus it looked pretty. I have two issues with it though.One of which I can't really fault this unit for, it's just a peril of getting a grinder of this style; when I grind a really light roast, the beans are a bit harder and they'll occasionally make the whole mill 'stutter' which can send beans flying all over the countertop.My main issue with this grinder however, is that the middle column is only held in place at a single point, so when I'm grinding a coarse grind, the middle grinding stone wobbles around quite a lot which leads to a very inconsistant grind. Since nobody else commented on this in any of the other reviews, I tried looking around to see if I was somehow doing something wrong, but from what I could tell, it looks like it's just a flaw in the design.Basically, unless I was in fact just doing something wrong with the grinder, or if you only want a finer coffee grind (in which case this grinder works great for that), I sadly can't really recommend this grinder.
