Just what I needed! I spend a lot of time out in the countryside, and I recently got the chance to test a portable espresso maker that has made my camping trips a much more luxurious affair, but unfortunately I still had to grind my beans with a manual grinder every morning, a chore I don't look forward to.I received the grinder this week and was a little sceptical at first. You want a really fine grind for espresso and I wasn't sure it would be up to the task, but it does a great job. Yes, it take a couple of minutes of grinding to get a result that's fine enough, but it's worth it. A coarse grind will only take a minute or so while espresso requires a little over two minutes. The grinder isn't whisper quiet, but it's quiet enough that you could use it in the kitchen early in the morning without waking everyone in the house.The build quality seems excellent. It's lightweight but feels sturdy and well put together, ideal for camping trips.

For a portable grinder, it's really a solid and very nice device. It's absolutely small enough to take on travels with you. It's about the size of a small insulated water bottle.You take the bottom off and fill the amount of coffee you want to grind. Then you pop that into the top and reattach the bottom of the grinder. Then you twist the top and chose the grind you want. Finally you push the button and it grinds in to the bottom. It's all very clean and tidy.I will mention- you can't take a regular grind and use it to make an espresso grind. It just wont really go through. So that's too bad.Also, the top has a sticker on there to tell you which grind is which, but you'll want to remove that, then you just have to remember which numbers are for which grind.It's not super loud. Similar to an automatic pencil grinder back in elementary school classrooms. It also holds a charge for quite a long time. I've only had to recharge it a few times.I think this would make a very nice gift for any coffee enthusiast.

A burr grinder is a wonderful thing. I still have a 1980 Spong (think general store hand crank) that produces a great grind, but too much of a workout before coffee (catch 22). The lazy person in my has settled for a Krups that produces an irregular grind but is easy and produces the right quantity. I even kept using it after the blade broke. Other burr grinders seemed to be targeted to larger quantities than needed for my aeropress or french press. This has all the benefits of all of the previous grinders: small quantity, pour beans then one button press, and the uniform grind of the Spong.The full 25 gram quantity of beans took around 90 seconds to grind. It auto shuts off after the bean hopper is empty. Sometimes it took a few presses to get the process started. I tried a few different settings (changing the grind setting really gives you the impression that this is a precise machine and a quality build). The photo shows the results for 1, 2.5, 7 and 9.5 settings. I suspect something close to 7 will be my french press grind.I had it on a charger (PD capable) for an hour and it was still showing the red charging light. Not wanting to over charge it. I stopped. Not sure about how sophisticated charging circuits are.My Jura Capresso S9 One Touch espresso machine warns against using flavored coffees because they gum up the grinder (an absolute pain to clean). Though not stated, I suspect that this suggestion also applies to this grinder. The one downside I see is that there are no instructions for cleaning, only an admonition not to disassemble.

This grinder is quiet, powerful, and effective, but has black plastic residue that makes it's way into the grinder head (and then into the coffee). Because of this, I'm not comfortable drinking the coffee I grind from it.This is unfortunate because otherwise, this is an impressive unit. It is clear a lot of thought went into it's design.It appears the problem is with how the female side of the grinding head was installed. It was pressed into the black plastic housing, creating a thin plastic bur above the cutting head. This is very hard to see - I noticed it when inspecting the unit with a flashlight. While the male side of the cutting head is removable for cleaning, the female end is not. So there is no way to get into that area and clean out the plastic shavings.Pros:+ Quiet and powerful.+ Grinds quickly.+ Good adjustability range.+ Excellent grind consistency.+ Adjustment head is magnetic, so it stays on when the unit was flipped upside down.+ Rubberized padding on the bottom.+ Comes with bag and hex key for cleaning disassembly.Cons.- As described above. Black plastic residue from the bur created above the female grinding head. This part of the cutting head is not removable, thus not accessible for cleaning.- At this price point, I would expect the inner chamber that holds the coffee beans to be metal. Not plastic.
