CEVING Mini Manual Coffee Grinder With 40 Adjustable Settings, Black

This coffee grinder is great for small servings. If you are making a 12 cup pot you might want a larger grinder or know you will have to fill this one a few times. I have read articles about making a great cup of coffee but while they will tell you to weigh the coffee down to the tenth of a gram and carefully measure the water down to the precise millilitre they don't tend to stress grind. Just fine medium or coarse depending on your brew method. This grinder has excellant control over how coarse a grind you will get. You can buy the same beans from your roaster and not really get the same bean. I like Ethiopian beans, but one order may have come from a different plantaion or the next may have been roasted under different weather conditions. The control over the grind lets you correct your coffee. Not smooth enough, go a little coarser. Not getting enough boldness, try finer. You will find that one roast of beans works best with a grind setting of 20, the next from the same geographic region and roaster may need a 17 setting. Not to mention a morning where you just need a something different and want to go for a large setting change. This little grinder works well for these kind of grind changes. Gives you great control over what taste you are going to end up with and seems durable after 3 monthes use. It was a purchase where I got the value I paid for.

Probably one of the better purchases I have made in quite some time. My electric one is good and takes no effort to use, but if there is a power outage you can't use it. This one is sleek and compact. You can take it with you just about anywhere. I have been using it for only a few weeks and the durability seems really good. Also, it grinds more precisely than my electric one because of the variety of settings. The handle comes off after the grind and can be a little cumbersome to store, but that's a small issue. It's little bit of work, so if you're used to convenience maybe have that in mind, but really if we can't spend a few extra minutes to grind some beans then that's just a good problem to have in life. Maybe if you have a hand or wrist injury you can stick with the electric, but the work really is minimal and it's cool little thing to add to the morning/afternoon ritual. Highly recommend.

This does exactly what it is intended to do, is easy to use, and good for both right and left-handed people. I am no professional on coffee grinding, but I do know this has been really useful and fun for my experiments! I love my mini coffee grinder! It is super simple to set up, store, and transport. It is small enough to take with you in something like a purse or backpack, and is sturdy enough to not break from bumping into things. It comes with a handy little brush to help clean it out! My favorite thing is that this is suitable for both left and right-handed people. When one arm gets tired, I switch to my other arm and turn in the opposite direction. This has reduced the time it takes for me to grind things because it would take 2-4 minutes with one arm (and breaks) and now takes 1-2 minutes. It is a bit noisy, so I try to step out of the room if others are there with me. I appreciate that the manual came with what grind size is recommended for certain methods (ex. pour over vs espresso). I have used mine for both pour overs and espresso and have gotten absolutely delicious results! It is definitely a plus to be able to change the grind size by just one notch. I enjoy that I can get both fine and coarse grounds to achieve my desired flavor profile. When grinding for my espresso, I do half on a lower setting and half on a higher one (1-2 notches) so that I get the crema and flavor that I enjoy. Despite having 40 settings, I've found that mixing 2 grinds gives me my preferred results for the coffee I use. I have also used this for non-coffee things, such as cinnamon, although I'm not sure how much wear that has put on this. I "refresh" my coarse pre-ground coffee by running it through on a finer setting and it helps bring out the flavor more. This has been helpful since people buy me coffee as a gift, but I don't get good crema from pre-ground coffee. My only complaint is that I never know how to store the handle. I can leave the glass part screwed on at the bottom when putting this away, but the handle is just a little awkward since it doesn't fully lay flat when you take it off.

5 stars for price, 'dial in' feaute, and static free glass bottom. -2 for inconsistent grind size. [updated to 4 stars - update at bottom] Set the grinder setting around 30-40, remove the bottom glass, and actually handle the center burr with your fingers - see how it moves side to side? That's called 'play', or 'slop'. This is what causes inconsistency in the grinds. If you're creative enough to pop it apart and find a way to shim the center axle to prevent that slop, you may actually have a very fine grinder. Coming from a Javapresse (on loan to a friend), I was actually surprised that pour over took about 70-80 cranks instead of my normal 140-150 on the Javapresse. It wasn't brewing the same either. More coarse boulders hanging out on the top and sides of the melitta. This has an effect on my coffee - which I need to try to re-dial in with this new grinder. Someone mentioned grinding their beans twice. I'm considering doing that. This grinder feels twice as hard to crunch up my medium roast Dunkin (Javapresse was easier one time thru). I will try running thru at 30-40, then 15 (or whatever I eventually find provides the consistency for pour over I need). The whole reason to go to a burr grinder is to avoid the massive inconsistencies of the electric 'weed wacker' style (and to get that "oh-so-wonderful-goodness" that's missing from grocery store ground coffee). For the price conscientious, this is a good place to start, but it may leave you desiring something better. Sometimes it's better to buy once/cry once. This grinder isn't a complete failure - just might need some owner side intervention in tinkering OR running the beans thru more than once. Mind you - I'm using this strictly for Aeropress (sometimes used as a type of French press), and a Melitta pour over. If I find more insights - I'll attempt to update... Update - almost a month later This has been my primary grinder - usually making either pour over with a melitta or immersion brew with my aeropress - typically with the grinder set around 15-20 out of 40 This morning I made the choice to ratchet it up to a much smaller grind and went to a setting of 5 out of 40 - there seems to be much less play - and my ground coffee appears to have a much more consistent appearance first attempt at an aeropress 'espresso like' drink (20g coffee to 60-70g water) - seems decent - I may try this in my nanopresso at another time I'll report in a few more weeks how this setting works for pour over and a ratio of 15:240 (1:16) in the aeropress

I love this little thing! Works better than any of my electric ones ever did. Takes about 2 minutes to grind beans for the espresso machine, it’s very quiet. The consistency option is adjustable. Easy to use for me. If you have grip problems or repetitive motion problems probably not a good option for you.

I love this little grinder. It works perfectly for my dorm room coffee bar set up! It feels super sturdy and I’ve used so many different grind settings on it and they work great! It’s easy to carefully clean and is easy to take apart and put back together! Super cute and satisfying to use.

It can grind coffee with the size chosen. Perfect for drip or espresso serving. It has a compact cup sized portion, but can also be used for a jug. It has a good grind consistency and also portable. Recommend to buy.

Pros: see 5-star reviews Cons: No way the upper pre-grind chamber holds 30 grams of beans. More like 21-22. So if you want full capacity, which the lower chamber holds, you're doing two grinds. I've never seen a burr grinder that provided an even sized grind, and this one is no different. The 45-point grind option is a con: there's relatively little difference among the 30-45 grind levels (only ones I've tried), except the 45 yields bigger pieces along with mostly smaller grind, and the 30 yields smaller pieces along with mostly smaller grind. Grinding 21 grams takes approximately 120 turns of the crank. No big deal for the grind hand (except the time involved), but if you have weakness in the wrist of the hand that's holding the grinder, this could be a problem for you. Overall, I don't see the point of this thing, except maybe you like to travel with a burr grinder.

Great value for money. Easy to use and clean. Has clear settings for making different coarseness, fineness of grounds. Love it! Also much lighter and smaller than others on the market. I take it with me on short trips as doesn't take up much room.

As a coffee enthusiast who enjoys the ritual of grinding beans fresh each morning, I’ve tried several manual grinders over the years — including the Prolex — but this one truly stands out. The build quality is excellent, and the precision of the grind settings is remarkable. With 40 adjustable settings, it offers an impressive level of control over grind size, whether you're brewing espresso, pour-over, or French press. What sets this grinder apart is the consistency. Unlike my previous grinder, which relied on adjusting the burr screw and often resulted in uneven grinds, this model delivers a uniform grind every time. The adjustment mechanism is intuitive and allows for fine-tuning with ease, making it ideal for those who like to experiment with different brewing methods. The grinder is compact and portable, perfect for travel or small kitchens. The hand crank operates smoothly, and the ceramic burrs do a great job preserving the flavor of the beans. It’s surprisingly efficient — grinding a dose for espresso or a full cup takes minimal effort. If you’re serious about your coffee and want a reliable, high-precision manual grinder, this is an excellent choice. It exceeded my expectations and has quickly become an essential part of my morning routine.

Works great, very satisfied. For my moka, 11 is the sweetspot how i like it. I have a philips 5500 at home and this bone crushers makes my camper coffee compete with the coffee at home.

looooove it so much
