JavaPresse Coffee Company Manual Coffee Grinder, Conical Burr Grinder, Brushed Stainless Steel

Really pleased with this grinder. I've had it for a good while now and love it. It is easy to dial in the grind I like and produces a really consistant quality grind. Very easy to use and clean. I don't know how long the burrs are expected to last but there is no apparent wear yet and I use it 3 or 4 times aweek.

great for travelling. good quality and provides a great grind.

Great little grinder. In the past year my wife bought me what we thought would be a grinder that would last (Handground) It was pretty and had nice features but it did not stand the test of time. The Java Presse costs less than half of the Handground grinder, grinds faster and easier, is super lightweight with a smaller footprint and is much easier to dial in your grind. The Java Presse is made from lightweight stamped and rolled (stainless steel?) It is lightweight and has a good feel to it. The assembly is "friction fit" together, meaning the top, bottom and handle do not screw on or snap in but are designed to be a perfect fit onto the main body of the grinder and the friction of the fit holds this together. The arm has a hex cutout that fits over the hex shaped grinder shaft that drives the burrs. The catch pot at the bottom has a nice glass inlay that gives it a solid feel and enough weight for the grinder to stand on it's own. Compared to the Handground - 1. The Java Presse is easier to grind as the handle is connected directly to the grind shaft. The Handground has mechanical gearing in the top which allows the handle to move in a vertical direction as opposed to the planar direction of the Java Presse handle. This made it more difficult to grind and is what wore down and broke on the Handground 2. The Java Presse is quicker to grind. The Handground took about 100-110 rotations of the handle to grind 2 tablespoons of beans. For the same grind (French Press course grind) The Java Presse took about 70-80 turns for 2 tablespoons of seeds. This seems to be inherent of the direct drive and length of the handle. 3. The Java Presse is way quieter than the Handground. I would have to lift the Handground off the counter as the noise would reverberate through the countertop from grinding and it was still pretty loud. The Java Presse fits nicely in your hands and doesnt even feel like its grinding (it is) and hardly makes a peep. 4. The Handground would hold about 4x more beans than the Java Presse. The Java Presse holds about 2.5 tablespoons of beans at a time. Realistically, unless you want to grind your whole bag at once it's not a deal breaker. The Java Presse is the perfect size to make 32oz of French Presse coffee at a time. 5. The Handground has a dial around the middle of the grinder where you can dial in your grind from 1-8 in half steps. The Java Presse has a manual dial at the bottom of the burrs to dial in your grind. It seems a little more "finished" on the Handground but if you wanted to "fine tune" your grind the Java Presse falls on the "Analog" side of that. 6. The catch pot on the Java Presse slides over the bottom of the grinder and is held in place by friction. This may be the only downfall to this grinder. You naturally hold the pot in place while grinding but I could see where you might drop the pot if you dont grip the grinder firmly in the middle and hold the pot in place. The Handground had a glass catch that screwed into the bottom of the grinder. 7. Did I mention costs? For the price of the Handground you could buy 3 of the Java Presse grinders. If this little guy holds up for half as long as the Handground it's already a winner.

.. for better grip and less muscle fatigue Product works great

I love this coffee grinder. Use it near everyday since I got it. Works just like the day I got it. Quality metal paired with a simple design for a winning product in my perspective.

Very low quality you can buy better one with stainless steel core and still cheaper than it

It is not a useful article, it goes very badly, I will explain myself: *You can spend 10 minutes turning the crank to grind coffee for a double measure. *The degree of grinding is constantly changing and you have to be regulating it all the time. *Occasionally the grain inlet to the millstones clogs and you have to unclog it. * The materials are very very shabby, totally cheap. It doesn't make sense at this price. If the case were that it is a technical tool and the material was secondary, well... I wouldn't mind, but the truth is that the operation is painful. Wasted money. No es un artículo útil, va muy mal, me explicaré: *Puedes pasar 10 minutos dándole a la manivela para moler café para una medida doble. *El grado de molido se cambia constantemente y hay que estar regulandolo todo el tiempo. *De vez en cuando la entrada de grano a las muelas se obtura y hay que desatorar lo. * Los materiales son muy muy cutres, barato total. No tiene sentido a este precio. Si el caso fuera que se trata de una herramienta técnica y el material fuera secundario, bueno... no me importaría, pero la verdad es que el funcionamiento es penoso. Dinero tirado a la basura.
