PARACITY Manual Coffee Bean Grinder with Ceramic Burr, Hand Coffee Grinder Mill Small with 2 Glass Jars(11OZ per Jar) Stainless Steel Handle for Drip Coffee, Espresso, French Press, Turkish Brew

Basic, effective, a bit slow, but kind of fun
It’s a simple manual coffee grinder made in China. You’ll see a few of them out there with different seller names but the core components of grinder, dual jars, and a cleaning brush, are pretty consistent among the different kits. This one was the best priced one I could find and the only thing it didn’t have that some others did was a scoop. That didn’t bother me at all as I have plenty of spoons I can use for my coffee grinds. I normally get pre-ground coffee, but we got a few packs of beans as a gift so I picked this one up to give us the capacity to occasionally mash up the beans when needed. I also liked the idea of being able to do this without having to plug another device into an outlet.
All right, so Amazon was great, shipped it in a day, and the box included everything that was advertised. You get two jars that can screw one at a time into a grinding assembly that combines a bean holder, burr grinder, and a handle. You adjust the depth of the burr to control the coarseness of the grinds, put coffee beans into the bean holder that’s integrated into the device, put a silicone lid over the beans to keep them in place, and affix a handle to the whole thing with a thumbscrew. Then you turn the handle and the thing pulverizes the beans into coffee grinds.
In short: the quality is decent and it absolutely does work.
Concerns:
– Speed. It takes 10-15 minutes to get enough grinds for a full 12 cup pot of coffee, less if you just want to make 5 or 6 cups as I do each morning. You can mitigate this by using the kit’s second jar. I grind a bunch the day before or earlier while watching TV and put the lid on it and it’s fine and ready to go the next day. If I could have a second lid for the second jar that’d be nice, then I could grind two jars in advance for the whole week. But they only give you one lid. Unfortunately the jars don’t have what appear to be standard lid grooves so you are not easily going to find a third-party lid. However, a bit of plastic wrap and rubber band would probably suffice just fine. Or use a sandwich bag; it’s really not a complicated issue.
– Effort: I read some of the negative reviews complaining about how hard it was to grind the beans. You have to be kidding me. Those are either fake negative reviews, people that didn’t use the device properly, people using metal beans, or someone on a deathbed. This thing grinds pretty easy, honestly a toddler could turn the crank. I will concede that my off-hand, the one holding the jar and grind assembly while the other hand cranked, could get a little cramped from gripping tightly for minutes at a time, but it wasn’t a problem to take a break if I needed to. If I could ask for an improvement, it would be that the jar and grind assembly be designed for a more comfortable grip.
– Durability: So far I’ve only had the thing for a day and have ground two jars of coffee. I have no idea yet how long it will hold up. The parts do seem well made, but the plastic end on the handle is affixed by a thin dowel of metal and I wonder if it will wear out after many cycles.
Overall, item is as described and works fine. For occasional need to grind beans it’ll do fine. If you do a lot of grinding, get an electric.
11-Jun-2022 Update: After finishing a bag of beans I took the device apart to clean it. It comes apart easily, but I was dismayed when I was cleaning the burr to find a couple small cracks in the ceramic. They stood out and were easy to see with the color of the coffee beans in them contrasted to the rest of the white burr. I’ve reviewed them but can’t tell if they were like that when I got the grinder or if they developed after grinding. The burr appears to be very solid and firm and so I think it was just like that and certainly the burr is stronger than the beans and there’s a good chance it’ll continue to work fine for years. I’ll update this review later after a few more bags.
24-Sep-2022 Update: Have continued to use this grinder a couple times a week. I am happy to report the small cracks in the burr seem to have been slight flaws that were there in the manufacturing process and haven’t hurt the burr’s ability to keep grinding.

Very slow grind
If you want a fine grind, prepare to spin this thing for 20-30 minutes for one cup of coffee. I don’t know if mine is dull or what but I was beginning to get hand cramps spinning this thing.
The outcome is great, coffee tasted fantastic, but I’m not sure it’s worth the effort, honestly.

Very slow way to grind coffee beans
I do like this little manual coffee grinder – but it is a very slow way to grind coffee beans. If you need speed then purchase an electric grinder as you’ll be done in 30 seconds. This will take at least 5 minutes for a medium – fine grind and will produce enough to fill about 6 K-pod filters. I sit and watch TV while I grind as I find holding this in my lap much easier than trying to stand at the counter and grind for 5 minutes. You do get a shoulder workout, just from long long you are grinding. The physical action of turning the handle while grinding for so long has helped me return some muscle strength around my shoulders and rotator cuffs which has helped with movement and less pain – so for me this is also a physical therapy tool.
I like that this has a ceramic grinder, verses a metal one. Hand grinding produces less heat on the beans and that is supposed to help with better flavor. I don’t have a gourmet coffee taste testing tongue, so I can’t really say that this is any better than an electric (or metal) grinder as far as the coffee flavor that is produced after grinding. I just prefer the ceramic.
Easy to take this apart for complete washing and drying. And easy to remember how to put it back together as well.
The grinder head only fits the jars this comes with (so far I haven’t found any other container this will screw onto). This only comes with ONE jar lid!! Like why? It comes with two jars. They assume you will leave the grinder on the one jar after grinding – and I don’t. I grind both regular coffee and decaf, so I need a lid for both jars (in case I have left over grinds after filling my K-pods). I keep my coffee in air tight containers, and that includes my reusable filled K-pod filters as they are not air tight little coffee filters.
I only gave 4 stars due to the lack of supplying two lids as I’m left with using a plastic wrap and rubber band on the one jar to seal it and I find that frustrating, as having the correct lid would be super nice!
Fantastic value at the current price of just over $10

Bought as a gift asi already have one love the extra storage container scoop and cleaning brush.

Moulin à café, de très bonne qualité, simple et efficace
