Product Description
Grind, store, and keep your coffee fresh all with one device: the Kilner Coffee Grinder. To use it, just pour your favorite beans into the top, grind them with the included handle, twist off the top, and put on the airtight lid Read More
CheapDealsI doubt it could do that. I own a manual/hand coffee grinder with a similar mechanism and the finest it could go is Moka Pot without having the cogs grinding on each other.
Due to a recent move, all of my coffee stuff was packed. Did some (very quick) research and saw good reviews on the Kuissential Evengrind hand grinder. Have been using it for a week without much issue. It's $20 on Amazon and has ceramic burrs. Might be something worth looking into at the same pricepoint.
I'm not a pro and I haven't done much examination of the grinds (you can find others have) but it has been pretty good for me. I am currently using an aeropress setup with a Kone steel filter (standard). Anyway, it's a good alternative if your in the market for something in this price range.
Wow. What a piece of junk. I just received this yesterday and used it for the first time this morning. It broke before I was done grinding 2 tablespoons of coffee beans. Where do I start? The nut and bolt did not fit quite right when attaching the handle - i had to wiggle it constantly while turning it to get it to tighten or loosen. You have to do this because for one it comes disassembled and secondly- that is how you adjust the grind size. This should probably work a little more smoothly. Once I figured that out and got a grind size I liked I started using it. I got about a quarter of the hopper ground before the ceramic teeth came off centre and pulled to one side- making it impossible to turn. So I took it apart again- this time I pulled the entire unit apart to find that the ceramic where it attaches to the hopper had broken. Please see photo. I also noticed quite a lot of metal filings on my cutting board where I shook it out prior to taking it apart. I had washed it after I unboxed it so this definitely happened during operation. Has anybody else had such a brutal experience with this product? I know it was cheap- but I was hoping to at least get a few uses out of it.
grglckSame thing happened to me, cogs started chipping and breaking each other about 5 uses in. I love the concept/look of it. But it is absolute garbage unfortunately.
"Once you’re done you can store the coffee in the fridge for maximum freshness. "
I appreciate y'all's commitment to minimising contact with anything that's not a mason jar but that's just fuckin rong sonnnnnnn. You got about 24 hours before the freshness of the grinds becomes indistinguishable from pre-ground*. Putting it in the fridge or freezer is generally thought to accelerate that process overall.
*at a shop, not necessarily bulk Folgers or similar products.
Dr.McCoyEven less than that. The rule of 15s say 15 minutes for ground 15 days for roasted whole beans and 15 months for greens. The 15 days can probably be streched though. You're also much better off going to a shop and getting it ground on site once a week than using a crappy grinder like this https://prima-coffee.com/learn/article/grinder-basics/is-it-always-better-grind-fresh
ColbraThe 15/15/15 thing is just a guideline to "peak freshness" (green or roasted). Growing techniques, varietal, storage method, wash, roast, and quality of grind all affect the shelf life of coffee.
I guess for the price this is alright, but I wouldn't bother with a hand grinder that didn't have ceramic burrs unless it was a high quality professional model.
BryanSolidSteel is perfectly acceptable for home use. You really only need ceramic for shop/commercial applications. Heat dissipation is the main thing, toughness is second.
norexitIt does look like it's ceramic from the one top down picture.
Also the burr assembly looks remarkably similar to the Hario Skerton, which means it has the same issue with the grind size adjustment being a bit fiddly, especially if you disassemble your grinder frequently to clean it.
The Porlex grinders actually have clicks you can count when you set the grind size, so you can consistently reset it back to your preferred settings after taking it apart without the guesswork and trial and error.
I'm not familiar with the grinder in this drop, but the Hario MSS-1 manual grinder is suitable for espresso. It grinds finer than some $200 electric grinders from Solis and Breville. And I'm writing this from experience.
EliadYeah you unscrew the main screw on it and can adjust your grind size to whatever you like. It is a super nice item imo. I use it frequently for ... not coffee.
