What does this mean?Pros & Cons
Pros
Can make two 12-oz mugs (~ 3 cups) by grinding the entire hopper. Once dialed back a few click, it's perfect for espresso. Takes a few minutes to grind depending on how much you are grinding.
This fits the purpose. Work as advertised. Feels overall like a solid improvement. Nothing to be done about it though; nature of the beast.
The slim is easy to use and adjust and can grind beans for espresso or coarser grains for other types of coffee. The grinder cranks smoothly and makes relatively easy work of the beans. Très facile à utiliser et fait un bon café.

Price

For the price tag this grinders good.
But for how inexpensive this is, it’s pretty amazing and gets the job done.
Competitiveness
While it is more expensive than its chinese counterparts, it will not break in your hands after a couple of uses.
The only one i've ever owned, so i've nothing to compare it to.
It will of course get the job done but not with the efficiency of more pricy grinders such as the timemore c2 or hario skerton.
For some reason i thought that this should be made in japan rattan than china - i can't actually compare to other coffee mills ... Read More
