This is one simple and easy to use burr grinder.
Though it is my first one also, it is very easy and simple to use and great value for the money.
The built quality is very good, and easy to adjust for the grind level for my coffee.
I recommended it to anyone looking to get the fine grind coffee bean and very good coffee, Love it!!

Hario's mill has been a quick and quality way to freshly grind coffee for my Aeropress. The mill provides a very consistent fine grind (medium and coarse grinds work pretty well too) without too much effort on my part. I find it very convenient that any grounds that are left over can be sealed in the glass container right away for use later. The mill also has a protective rubber piece over the bean cup that prevents beans falling out or being ejected. The entire device is also very easy to clean, so combined with the very minor cleaning required by my Aeropress, coffee cleanup only takes a few moments.

My only qualm about the grinder is that top screw cap that locks the handle to the grinding mechanism loosens very easily and I find myself tightening it frequently while grinding. I suspect that a quick stop by a hardware store could find a locking washer to fix the issue, but it hasn't bothered me enough to make the trip just yet.

Overall and excellent coffee mill, well worth the purchase price.

If you don't mind a little work, this grinder is great. Used it to grind my coffee beans for both a french press and a drip coffee maker. Coffee was great. The adjustment for your preference is very easy to make, and the results were great. Will recommend this to my friends and family members who would put an extra effort for a good cup of coffee.

This was a great buy for me. I don't make too much coffee in the mornings. Generally, I'll make around 4 tbspn for the day. If you do about this amount of coffee a day or less or a little more this coffee grinder is perfect for you!

I was worried that it would be too long to grind. Grinding 4 tbsp of coffee takes less than 5 min.

You can also take this coffee maker with you on the road. Also with this grinder you can have fresh coffee in the event of a power failure!

Sometimes the screw above the handle can come a bit loose. Just check it every once and awhile and you should be fine.

Great little coffee grinder.  Very easy to use and to clean.  The coffee has a very consistent grind and you can make it as coarse or fine as you want.

Fun, simple and consistent.  I use this to grind for my single cup coffee maker.  Perfect grind in about 2 minutes.  Easily adjustable if I want to switch to my French press.

I had been looking for a burr grinder to compliment my french press, and came across this one. The price looked good, as well as the features.

Using this for a couple weeks now, I have been impressed. It was easy to adjust the grinder, running a few beans through at a time until the grinds came out the size I wanted. It is nice being able to control the size of the grind over my blade grinder. There are still a few smaller pieces, but I imagine that it would be impossible to get a completely uniform grind, since you are cracking and crushing the beans.

I do notice a little play in it like some folks have mentioned, but she does the job, and it grinds the beans up pretty quick. I find that cranking the handle is a fun addition to my morning routine. The smell when you first open the jar after grinding is almost as satisfying as taking that first sip.

We are very happy with the grinder. Easy to use and clean. Looking forward grinding a variety of meats for grilling this summer! Great value!

I did what I felt was enough research to make a solid decision and I chose this grinder to grind whole bean coffee for my french press and peculator.  It works perfectly.  It does not have any electronic displays or lighted panels.  It's pretty loud.  It's a simple machine that does its job very well.  After 3 months of use, I'm glad I made the purchase.

Also, I hadn't realized it before I purchased, but if the grind is adjustable both with the front dial, but the dial can also be removed and the grinders aligned to make coarser or finer grinds.  So while it does not have 40 settings like some of the higher priced options, it can be set to whatever grind you prefer.

I was very pleased with this grinder. The coffee beans are ground to
a perfect consistency and there were no larger pieces left. As far as
some ground coffee being left at the bottom of the cup below the blades
this is true but they were easily removed with a small plastic utensil.
Don't be lazy people. Great grinder Buy it!!!!

This manual grinder is very easy to use.  By the time the water is hot, I can grind enough for 4 cups of coffee in our French press.  I like being able to adjust the fineness or coarseness of the grind, and I also like not having to depend on electricity for everything.  The hopper even has a window so you can check your progress. Javapresse delivered quickly and has helpful videos.

As someone who considers himself a coffee connoisseur, I'm always on the lookout for new and different devices to try to make the best coffee under a variety of conditions. A recent move to Africa found me making coffee in conditions, less than optimal - often without power! Queue the Hario Mini Coffee Mill. This small, hand-crank mill makes easy work of grinding freshly roasted into an even and consistent grind for use with a french press or pour-over coffee device. With just a few moments and some "elbow-grease", this device produces a mostly consistent, even grind, comparable to more expensive, electric grinders. And, given its simple design and no need for power, it can be taken anywhere you want for fresh coffee on the go: the office, campsite or elsewhere!

Pros:
 - Simple, easy to use
 - No power required
 - Great, mostly consistent grind!
 - Affordable
 - Easily cleaned

Cons:
 - Grind is mostly consistent and comparable to higher-end machines - but remember it is simply a low cost, manual device. You will get a better grind using your home burr grinder
 - Turn handle can come off mid-grind if not paying attention. I had this problem the first few times I used it and eventually found the right amount of pressure to place on it to ensure I used it right.

Good, consistent grind- better than my old grinder. Easy to use, and the removable cup is the icing on the cake.
I have used to it grinding for a drip machine, but you could easily get courser grind with a one or two second push, and it is capable of going finer. Maybe not perfect espresso grind, but pretty darn good for a little machine at this price.

Terrific grinder! I love the retractable power cord as I can wind it up and tuck it away when I've made the freshly ground coffee required for my day. Thinking about picking up an extra one just in case. The price is right, and it's better to have a back up if this ever goes down.

Grinds my coffee either course, or super fine depending on how I am brewing. Can't go wrong.

Bought this mill looking for a budget friendly burr grinder. I'm fine with having to use a little elbow grease. Still playing with the grinder setting to get the right coarseness for cold brew, but I love the simple mechanics of the device. Small and easy to clean and store.

I have now used this grinder to grind coffee for over 100 pots of cofffee.  This grinder works wonderfully.  There is no real "static cling"  as noted in other reveiws.  The grind is consistent.  There is no mess.  The machine is noisy, but no nosier than a blade grinder.  The only improvement I can suggest would be the on off dial.  The switch  is similar to timer switches on a hotel heat lamp control.  It is often difficult to judge how far to turn it to complete the grind.  There is a sound difference when the beans are done in the hopper.  I usually measure the beans for the current pot and put only enough for that in the hopper.  If all the beans are not ground and I haven't heard the sound difference I just turn the switch again.  Overall a great machine for the price.
