Porlex Mini Stainless Steel Coffee Grinder

Just recently, I learned about the health benefits of having two cups of coffee a day. I wanted to turn my coffee drinking into a meditative process and focus on healing. For many reasons, I decided that I would drink coffee made with a French Press. When I began my research into coffee grinders, I quickly discovered an entire world. I found Eletric Burr Grinders starting at about $40.00 and up. I really wanted to hand grind my beans so I continued my research. I quickly discovered two reasonably priced hand grinders and was ready to buy either the Hario Skerton or Kyocera Ceramic Burr Hand Grinder (About $40). I then did a google search and found out the both the Hario Skerton and Kyocera were excellent for grinding coffee beans very fine (for expresso) but were not as good for Coarse Grinding ( Recommended for French Press). After some additional research I found the Porlex and discovered an excellent hand Coffee Grinder. The outside oontainer is very well made, the grinding is consistent and only takes a few minutes to grind enough beans for one or two cups of coffee. If you are grinding beans for more than two (12 ounce cups of Coffee) you might find this is not the best grinder.

The grinding is quick, quiet, and the resulting coffee is beyond excellent. I am very happy that I found this Hand Coffee Grinder and that is has enriched my coffee drinking experience.

Enjoy,

Works OK for fine grind, but not for coarse -produces inconsistent grind. Very well made. Small -fits inside the plunger of my AeroPress, which helps to keep it all in the AeroPress's pouch. Very comfortable to hold. Holds only one serving (about 2-3 measuring spoons), which takes about 160 cranks. Not bad at all, no need to keep opening and looking if you are done: you feel very well when there is no more resistence to cranking.

Buy Porlex Mini Stainless Steel Coffee Grinder Now

I bought this to relieve my office-mates of the noise pollution created by an electric grinder. It is much smaller than I expected (about 4 inches tall and an inch and a half wide). The stainless steel casing and top makes for a very sturdy feel. It has enough room for about 3-4 tablespoons of coffee beans in the top (probably enough for two 10oz cups of coffee). For one cup, I put about one and a half tablespoons in there and it takes about 50 seconds of medium intensity grinding to finish). The grinding process itself is fairly easy no real workout here, just some low-level resistance. The adjustment screw clicks as you tighten or loosen it so it is easy to calculate how tight you want it for certain purposes I stick to 8 clicks from the tightest position for my single-serve drip coffee maker.

UPDATE: The handle design is horrible, after 6 months of daily use the handle doesn't stay on the grinder and flies off every single damn morning, and eats a star shaped chunk from your hand, is it really a mental stretch to design a removable handle that has a set screw??!!! you know, so you don't keep ripping skin into your coffee as the handle comes off mid turn??!! Would not purchase again. grinding and watching the handle fly, scraping your knuckles along the way, replacing the handle, grinding some more and watching the handle fly is NOT the kind of morning anyone wants to deal with.

Worst handle design ever.

This is the best portable grinder out there, the people that say they cannot use them must be trying to grind using their feet.

To the buyer that says you need constant downward pressure, what are you grinding? Coffee or diamonds?

It just needs to be turned, I have used mine for while now and have seen zero problems, I make 2 3 cups a day using it.

Easy to carry, easy to throw in a case to travel, Ceramic grinder that should last forever with care.

It really is only for one person though, does not make quite enough for 2, but thats fine for me.
