MB2 Manual Coffee Grinder 144 External Adjustable Settings Easy Use & Cleaning 35g Large Capacity Steel Burr Grinder Best Flavor Espresso to French Press Travel Gift (Dark Gray)

This manual grinder is just fantastic. I own a ~$500 electric burr grinder for espresso and a ~$60 electric burr grinder for drip/pour over/french press and I will compare this against both.First up, this absolutely destroys the $60 grinder. That grinder is not at all a bad grinder, but cannot grind consistently enough for espresso. It always outputs about 5 grams of super finely ground coffee regardless of the grind setting, although luckily the fines tend to collect around the output spout. I'd say that for every 50g ground I probably lose 7g of coffee between what gets stuck in the machine and the fines that collect on the edge of the basket.My $500 espresso grinder is much more consistent but it's also not a top of the line grinder. It is a good grinder but it has issues with grounds getting stuck in the output chute and adjusting the grind size is miserable. I've had to draw all over the size selector ring because it lacked gradation markings.As a result I don't dial in my espresso very often (just on a bean variety change, not by batch or bag). I lose about 2g of coffee to every 20g in to chute clogs and loss around the edges of the portafilter during grinding. It does make consistently good espresso, but it is loud and annoying to clean/service.Compared to both of these grinders this grinder is AMAZING. The burr set seems to be pretty good quality and ground very consistently (at least as good as the $500 electric grinder, if not slightly better). The markings for setting grind size are intuitive and have a positive click that feels great and clearly shows each adjustment step. The magnetic basket stays on well during grinding and they even use the magnetic locking as a way to shake the grounds off the basket walls (which don't hold grounds that badly to start with). The only real issue with the basket is the bottom corner, which holds about 1g of coffee grounds in the crease. This is not zero waste, but it is still much better than the other options. This grinder is so much easier to clean than either of my electric grinders, its really night and day.From a manufacturing standpoint this is very well machined and it came very clean (no metal dust or chips remaining from manufacturing. All the edges are chamfered and it feels like a premium product. It arrived in a nice little box with custom cut foam to store the grinder and brush. The manual has clear, straightforward, well-written instructions. It might have a better manual than the $60 electric grinder made by a major kitchen goods corporation.I don't prefer manual grinding to electric, but this is a joy to use and doesn't take much longer than my electric grinder (maybe 3x as long, which means 10 seconds of grinding becomes about 30 seconds) for 20g of espresso beans. In a home brewing environment it works and is fun to use.I can't recommend this enough, its fun, premium-feeling, well designed and grinds great coffee!

First off, the quality of this is very impressive. You can tell the moment you lift it out of the box that it is a thoughtfully designed, well-crafted piece. I still think the price range is high for what it is, but I can't argue that they skimped on design or materials. I love the way the grind settings can be set for this. I have a ceramic burr manual grinder that I like a lot, but as it has aged, the grind level is hard to keep in place while grinding. It seems maybe the burr has worn down a bit or the mechanism for holding it in place has as it slides around a lot. Even when it stayed on one setting, though, the consistency wasn't as good it is for this grinder.All the parts appear to be high-quality metal with good heft. It was a bit weird to have the canister come off so easily as I didn't anticipate it was just held in place magnetically, but now that I'm aware of it's pretty cool and I can be more careful so as not to pull it off while grinding. I didn't test the full capacity of the canister, but I can definitely say it is smaller than I expected. I grind about 24g of beans on most days, and that is much closer to full on this than the stated 35g capacity would indicate. All in all, though pricey, this is a very nice kitchen accessory, does its job well, and just makes the whole process of making coffee feel more high-end with the premium quality look and feel it has.

I am in agreement with most all reviews for this grinder. It truly is a step above all other grinders I have owned. Right from the first sip of the coffee I made using this burr grinder I was sold. Cleanup is a breeze.We are a coffee drinking household, the only comment on how to improve is to increase its capacity so that we don't have to grind as often. But that consideration is minor and does not detract in any way from the performance of this product. Super happy with this order.

This BurrBuzz MB2 coffee grinder is an all-metal build. It holds 35 grams, a larger capacity for a small hand grinder like this, and the grinder's body has a good grip and feels solid. I like the handle; it's nice, long, and sturdy, and you get a lot of leverage during grinding. The base helps grind on a flat surface. The grinder uses a spiral-type conical grinder on the business end and a nicely designed grind adjuster. I did not use the espresso grind setting, but that's a nice feature for a small hand grinder like this. The course grind setting I used produced a reasonably consistent grind. This grinder would be an excellent gift or a portable grinder for traveling, camping, hiking, or in a bug-out bag or emergency kit.

Grinder came very well packaged in a nice presentation box.So simple to assemble just put the handle on and grind. Very well made and heavy duty. The grind wheel is super durable and should last a very long time.Expensive for a manual grinder but you get what you pay for!
