Smooth and easy grinding action, even at level 2 for Espresso. Came perfectly calibrated for espresso grind. Holds enough beans and ground coffee for a double shot. I have two manual grinders, and I use this one expressly for espresso because of how easy the action is. My hand and wrist do not get tired at all. Very easy to grip.The only design feedback I can give is that the opening to pour the beans is a little narrow. You have to be extra careful when pouring the beans into the vessel or cup your hand around the opening to form a kind of funnel to avoid the beans spilling onto the counter. In other words, you can’t just be mindless about it first thing in the morning.But aside from that, everything else about it is perfect. Beautiful craftsmanship too.

Excellent well-made, smooth functioning coffee grinder. The stainless steel is attractive and sturdy.Grind settings are accurate, easy to identify at a glance, and do not shift while in use as I have experienced with other grinders that have no visual marker and use "click" method, leaving one in doubt as to what setting is in use. I used the grinder virtually every day for 22 months with no issues until I dropped it on the tile floor and broke the glass. I reached out Customer service and they were very responsive and helpful in supporting me.

If you are looking for a manual grinder this is the one and worth the price. It is easy to use and very durable. The ability to change the grind size is wonderful if you make different kinds of coffee, the 6 is perfect for a French press and the 1 is great for espresso! I dropped mine on tile after a long sleepless baby night and it still works! If on the off chance you have any trouble, Vivaant has the Best customer service! They will go above and beyond to help you. 10/10 and 100% recommend!

This amazing little bean grinder was perfect for us when we are camping off the grid. It does a perfect job every time and is so nice and compact. It would fit in any luggage also for those traveling light and want to enjoy a fresh ground coffee where ever they are. Well made and excellent value!

Beautifully crafted grinder with consistent and efficient grind that's a pleasure to use; grinding is nearly effortless due to long handle that stays firmly seated on shaft and grinds fast due to efficient burr design. Seemed like it took less than a minute to grind a hopper full of beans (~32 grams) on #4 setting which is good for pour-over; considerably faster than my Hario. I haven't timed the other settings, but a finer grind will take longer.I upgraded from my reliable Hario Coffee Mill Slim that I purchased over 9 years ago. The Vivaant grinder is superior in almost every way . . . craftmanship, efficiency, and ease of use. Hario is more durable due to plastic housing, is easy to completely disassemble with no tools for thorough cleaning, and has ceramic blades which aren't as sharp initially but hold their edge longer. With the Vivaant, the blades are metal that can dull over time (a long time), could potentially rust (seems unlikely), and only the bottom burr can easily be removed without special tools. I suppose being able to completely disassemble doesn't matter, but frankly moisture being trapped in the grinder after cleaning with soapy water is a concern for me; instructions say to remove hidden moisture with a hair dryer.The potential minor shortcomings are not a concern because Vivaant is backed by a lifetime warranty and superb customer service; Nancy was quick to respond to my email, went out of her way to address a price drop I noticed a few days after purchase, and she re-iterated their lifetime warranty if anything happens to my grinder or if the performance changes. Truly top notch product and company.You can't go wrong with either grinder, if you want cheap and durable, get the Hario Slim, but if you want a quality grinder that's a pleasure to use every morning, and backed by customer satisfaction guarantee, this is the one for you! The product and packaging are true Apple quality, so a fantastic gift idea for the coffee enthusiast in your life.

This coffee grinder is outstanding. I’ve used half-a-dozen manual coffee grinders and did a deep dive bit of research on these types of grinders, on Amazon and reputable sites on the net. This is a very high-quality grinder. You know there’s nothing like freshly ground coffee beans for your coffee, the taste is very noticeable and it is great. This little machine grinds your coffee from Turkish to French pot incredibly consistently and quickly.You can adjust it really easily and quickly, the grind settings are on a ring on the outside, easy to turn and it grinds very accurately. It’s easy to see the grind levels, they’re numbers 1 thru 6 on the outside of the machine. You’ll find that many grinders have the grind adjustment inside the jar or cup, underneath next to the grinding blades or under the handle. Some of them you count the clicks to adjust the grind. This grinder you can see and change by rotating the ring on the outside to the number that you want. You can switch from super fine Turkish to French Pot or in-between really easily and quickly.It has a metal Burr and ring cylinder instead of ceramic. Here’s a comparison, it took me more than 15 minutes and close to 20 minutes to do a Turkish grind on a ceramic grinder that is very highly rated on Amazon. For Turkish style this grinder will give you an excellent fine, powder like grind on setting #1, and it’s fast. You can fill the jar in about 2 minutes. On setting 2 thru 6 it’s even quicker.The metal burr system is durable, precise and sharp, you can feel this when you’re grinding your beans. One of the huge advantages of a metal grinding system is how quickly and consistently they grind. Ceramic burrs are OK, but when you take them apart you will see and feel that they are not nearly as sharp as metal.This machine is made of Stainless steel that is substantial instead of aluminum or paper-thin metal. Many of the other grinder descriptions will not tell you what metal they’re made of, usually aluminum. This grinder is machined and built making the grinding mechanism highly stable, not wobbly where it gives you an uneven and inconsistent grind, a major complaint about other grinders. My wife drinks drip type, mine is Turkish and I grind whole beans for both of us each day. Always consistent grinds.Customer Service from this company is fast and absolutely outstanding. I had a small glitch, wrote to them and got a return email that solved my concern, with pictures to help, very, very quickly. The email was written by a person instead of a surly customer service agent, and she expressed her desire to get my issue fixed to my satisfaction quickly. She solved it with me as a customer in mind the entire time. Her concern was refreshing and made me feel good.

Static in jar holds coffee. But does a good job.
