I got this to grind whole peppercorns in larger volumes for pepper coating steaks, making home made Cajun blackening preparations, and other pepper based BBQ rubs. I just tried it, and it works great for my uses! The grinding capacity is pretty good (about 1 cup) and the efficiency is acceptable (less than 2-3 minutes to grind about a cup to a medium fine grind). Grinding effort was a little more than I expected (based on experience with table top pepper mills) but still acceptable. The crank arm is long enough to give good leverage and not too long to make cranking speed / movement a big sweeping effort. It does not feel loose, flimsy or weak when used. Very solid and robust & overall it seems very well designed / made. The design of the burr has larger fluted channels at the top and allows larger grind-able items such as whole nutmeg (pea sized) to fall easily into the conical burr for grinding. It is straightforward & easy to adjust the coarseness of the grind, and I was more than satisfied with the fine to coarse range for my needs. The design makes it almost impossible for the grind fineness to change much during grinding too. The whole thing is made of materials (glass / stainless steel / ceramic/ sturdy plastic) that can go through the dishwasher (even says it in the instructions) which will make cleaning up between various peppercorn batches a breeze (so my white pepper grinds don't get contaminated with oils and fines from the black pepper or green pepper batches). The collection jar has an extra little screw on lid that is a nice touch, and it included a little soft (silicone) rubber skirt to go around the bottom of the jar to help keep the whole setup from skidding around on the counter when you crank on it. The grinder part was well made in China with the glass part made in Japan. Needless to say, I was really happy with this product. Three potential cons: 1) The top of the hopper is open so if you crank too aggressively and tilt the device, the pepper corns may spill out the top; 2)when the hopper is almost empty the cracking action of the grinding burr causes some pepper flakes to pop out the top and land on the counter and be a bit messy; 3) I looked on-line a bit and did not find a replacement glass collection jar for sale on its own - that would be great accessory for prepping/storing multiple grind-ables or maybe replacing breakage. None of the noted cons were significant enough to me to bump this grinder off the 5 star mark. Also, Amazon was totally awesome, as usual.

The grinder works like a charm and is fully adjustable by turning the adjusting gear clock-wise to tighten for fine grinds and counterclock-wise to loosen for course grinds. Grinds easily without much energy and does not need electricity so it can be taken anywhere with you and easily taken apart for travel and/or washing.Here's a normal process of how to use the grinder....Step 1: unscrew the top bolt, remove the handle and finally the locking piece.step 2: adjust the grinder by turning the gear at the top clock-wise or counterclock-wise. There is no way to accurately measure the grinding so you'll have to rely on how many turns use for the grind you prefer.step 3: replace the locking piece, handle and top screw and start grinding!you'll have to spend a few moments taking it apart and replacing the pieces back on till you get the grind you're looking for if you're using a French Press like me, typically 1-1/2 full turns counterclock-wise from closed position.overall:...It's my first grinder and burr grinder as well, was looking for something that does not require electricity since most electrical grinders will have parts that burn out at some point in time, and lack of electricity will allow you to take it anywhere. The grinder itself is made of good ceramic made in Japan and is minimal in actual moving parts, so it is a grinder that will do a good job and for long time, compared to other ungodly high priced electrical burr grinders that will eventually burn out on you...for less than $50 this will last you a long time and give you the grinds your looking for in any type of coffee, if you're willing to spend a few minutes fiddling with it. I'm very happy with it!

I bought the Kyocera as a backup grinder to use for espresso in a Pavoni lever machine, and will attest to its poor quality. This grinder is a very close replica of the Hario Skerton, which I also own, and would recommend as a budget grinder. The Kyocera looks cheaper than the Hario; the plastic bean holder has many rough edges, which is, however, only a cosmetic problem. The real problem was that the axle on which the inner burr sits is poorly manufactured, so that (1) it is not straight and (2) it is not threaded properly. This results in the inner burr not rotating around its center when you grind. Not only does this cause damage to the burrs, but it makes getting a uniform grind impossible. I considered bending the axle in a vise, but this would not fix the threading problem. I will admit that for $45, it is an attractive portable/travel grinder, and I am satisfied with the Hario, which, again, appears to be of somewhat better quality. However, with the defects that I have seen on my unit, the $45 was thrown away.
