West Coast Chef Manual Coffee Grinder - Manual Burr Grinder, Portable Coffee Grinder Manual - Espresso Hand Grinder Coffee - Manual Coffee Bean Grinder - Travel Coffee Grinder Hand (Black)

This is my first and only coffee grinder, I've recently gotten more and more into the hobby and lifestyle.Bought this due to the price and the appearance, plus the good specs.Just used it for the first time, and I've thoroughly taken it apart to inspect everything and I've got to say, it's a right weapon of a thing for this price. Full metal construction, feels stunning to hold and use with a good weight to it. Easy to disassemble to clean as well. Holds about 20-25g of coffee beans comfortably and grinds VERY smoothly when using.Adjustment between grind settings is super simple, I grind for a Moka pot and a French press, and the incrementals between the finer settings are perfect for my Moka pot. First coffee I made was deep in flavour, super rich and chocolatey, minimum bitter and sourness (also down to the beans I'm using) and it felt so nice to finally be able to grind my own coffee.I know nothing at all when it comes to the ins and our of ceramic Vs metal burrs, these ones are metal and are a dream to grind with, super sharp, didn't get stuck once and SO easy to clean.The unit comes with a nice brush to help get coffee oils out of the small area within the grinder, and it also all arrived in a lovely little box, protected by good quality foam.I'm sure as my coffee journey continues I'll invest In more equipment, but as for now, Im loving this! And it'll be something that in 10 years time I'll have and be able to say "thats my first coffee grinder". If you're serious about getting into it a bit more, this is a perfect product to start with for sure! 11/10 from me.

The design is good and it is quite compact so easy to store. I did find however setting the grind slightly fiddly otherwise very good burr grinder.

I was on the hunt for something far superior to my rhino but didn't want to break the bank well I'm glad I purchased this.Build quality is amazing.Wouldnt hesitate to say just pick one up

The product looks and feels good quality. I bought a second one right after using the first one a couple of times.I saw some reviews regarding confusion on adjusting the grinding level. The instruction does look a bit confusing, but actual adjustment action is simple.The number of digits for coarseness in the instruction starts from the position when the dial is fully closed, i.e. turn the dial clockwise until it cannot move anymore. E.g. if you need 15 digits for coarseness, turn the dial clockwise until it fully closes, then turn 15 clicks anti-clockwise.

Received this today and straight away wanted to use it. It comes in a lovely box, well packaged. Got it out and straight away it felt well made and sturdy. Have tried 2 different grinds - medium for my V60 drip and a rougher grind for my cafetière. Both ground very well and it was easy to adjust the grind as required. Also grinding the handle is pretty easy due to the well made burrs. All in all I am very impressed on day one, here’s hoping for many happy brews to come.‘Avatar’ all the way…

On further inspection, this really isn’t that good of a grinder!It’s got a really good burr set, for the money it’s brilliant, and the central shaft is bearing-mounted, so it stays centered, and doesn’t play.The issue, however, is that the bottom burr set is of a loose tolerance to that central shaft, so despite the shaft being nice and square, the burrs are still off-centre and loosely held, resulting in an inconsistent grind. To fix that, I stuck a piece of aluminium drinks can in there as a shim - it’s now a nice fit, and grinds something more consistently, although changing grind size is now more tricky.As other folks have said, this also won’t keep a grind size without intervention, to the tune of sticking an M6 (standard 19”rack size) bolt into the other end of the grind adjustment to stop it wandering.So, if you’re OK with hacking a bit of tin can in there, and putting a rack bolt in the other end, this will grind a decent grind. Otherwise, I can’t really reccomend you spending forty quid on an inconsistent grinder.

Excellent quality. I buy whole beans from now on. Definitely satisfied. Highly recommended.

Very good quality great price
