Estrella Cast Iron Manual Crank Corn Grain Grinder 14" Tall & 5" Hopper

Muy bueno y la calidad

un super regalo para el abuelo que vive en el campo y muele el maiz para hacer recetas

Grinds cracked well for the birds, so there's no large kernels left over

Works pretty well. The grinding plate came warped so its not perfect. It takes many passes to get corn fine enough to be masa. All things considered it does the job, but the warp definitely adds time to the job as larger grains make it through. It has a learning curve, but is definitely usable for the price.

It works well, reminds me of my childhood

I am happily impressed. Made in Colombia, not China. The plates align well. Large pad for clamping underneath table. Beautiful enameled finish, nicely boxed. Have not had a chance to put it through all its paces over time, but it does grind well. The hopper is only 5", but it still holds a sizeable amount, and unlike other brands, there were no dents in the hopper: smooth and professional. Someone took some time here to do a nice job on the design details. All in all, a real bargain and an aesthetic pleasure at the price.A few suggestions:Add a rubber pad under the feet for clamping. Even while tightly clamped, it tends to slide on the table top, due to the smooth enamel finish.Add a splash guard over the top of the grinding plates so material doesn't splatter out the top.

Easy to assemble. Seems strong. Easy to grind corn into small chunks.

The handle can not attached properly. The nut where the handle is supposed to go is too wide. Could not even try it because the handle was so lose that you could not crack it -- totally defeats the purpose.
