We shall begin with some information about the product from the company's website:

• CAN I ADJUST THE GRIND SIZE AND IS IT CONSISTENT? - Yes, the grinder adjusts quickly and easily to grind for multiple brewing methods such as: espresso, pour over, french press/plunger, percolator or Turkish. You'll be able to get a consistent grind quality that will improve the taste of your coffee.
• HOW FAST DOES IT GRIND? - That depends on the person grinding (of course!) however you can expect to grind about 38 grams of coffee to pour over level fineness in 1 min 20 sec. Stated by approximate volume that is about 6 tablespoons of whole beans ground in 1 min 20 sec (enough to serve 2 people)
• IS IT LOUD? - No, it's really quite tame. You'll find it MUCH quieter than grinding with an electric grinder and it's even better than some of the other popular manual grinders.
• IS IT HARD TO CRANK? - Actually it's pretty easy. The grinder is slim for easy gripping and the crank handle is long enough to give you good leverage for a smooth and easy grind. Some of the difficulty depends on your coffee beans but the grinder does it's part to make things go smoothly.
• WILL I LOVE IT? - You love your coffee which means...your coffee grinder should make you happy as well. If it doesn't or you have some problem don't worry since we back your purchase with great no-quibble, customer service because we're serious about making sure you're pleased.

 As for my thoughts? Love love love coffee and I never realized how much better it tasted when you ground it fresh!  I thought coffee shops just had voodoo magic or something.  This is a revelation to me.  I love that I can control how course of fine I grind.  I can have as much or little fresh coffee as I need, so it works for my french press or in my reusable Keurig cup.  It is easy to use, and works quickly, so it really doesn't add much time to my coffee prep in the morning, but it makes a MASSIVE difference.

I received this product to try for free in exchange for my honest and unbiased review.
