First Grind-While-Charging Rechargeable Coffee Grinder

Item came as described. It worked well but only for 2 months. During the most recent use, the internals came apart. Heard a lot of clattering, it left metal shavings and chunks in the bottom within the coffee grinds, and then it stopped working.

This little guy is great. It has a burr grinder and one-touch grinding. I usually put in two spoons of my light roast beans, and it grinds them in a minute and five seconds and then automatically shuts off when it's done. I've been using it for 12 days on a single charge and haven't had to recharge it yet. It has an easy screw to lock mechanism for grinding, then you just pull the plastic up off and dump into your cone filter. I've been using the 19 notch, right in the middle, and that seems to extract a pleasing flavor in combination with a cone filter pour over method. I've been mixing with two spoons of some pre-ground medium roast I want to use up, but when that runs out, I'll see how long it takes to roast four spoons of beans. It's not too noisy. I just carry it into the bathroom and close the door to let it grind if I'm worried about disturbing or waking anyone. The blade-based ones I've seen friends use are a lot noisier and don't grind as evenly. It has a slick, mod appearance and seems solidly built compared to some of the cheap little battery operated ones I've seen.

Would stop grinding after a few seconds each time I used it for dried herbs that are no where as hard as coffee beans. I'd check, shift stuff around and it would do the same thing over and over again. The 5th time I went to use it, it didn't stop automatically after 2-5 seconds. It kept running for 20 seconds doing nothing until I stopped it and looked. There were several pieces of the grinder mixed in with my herbs. Where the herb falls into the cup was completely shut even on the coarse setting. I removed everything by dumping it out and used my hand grinder on my stuff which came apart easily. This thing is junk! Had it for 30 days.

Update 9/3: The last few times, the grinder seems to bog down and stop several times each use. The power button turns red. I have to activate it again. Rinse. Repeat. BTW, I thoroughly clean the grinder each time. Horse hair barista brush... forced air bulb. It's a shame because it was working well. It will still grind, so 3-stars... for as long as it lasts. Original review below. I got tired of hand grinding my Greek coffee with a Turkish coffee mill and so bought this. It is super easy to use. I love how it breaks down into three separate sections each of which stands up on its own. Easy to clean too. A decent baristas brush get into all the nooks and crannies. By opening the grind control to the coarse setting, you can blow out the section containing the grinder. It gets a lot cleaner than the Turkish mills do. When I got this one I ran some uncooked rice through it to clean the grinder of any foreign matter... this is something you do with the Turkish grinders to clean them up and prep them for service. Works like a charm. As the grinder is working over the beans, I prepare my briki by mixing in the sugar. I do still run the finely ground result through my mortar and pestle for ~one minute just to get it to that powdered consistency you want for Greek coffee. I estimate that even with this added step I'm shaving a good 2 minutes off my coffee prep time... and with A LOT less effort. Charges easily. I used it 4 times before the power ring turned red during a grind (which it finished). Took about 20 minutes to charge back to full power. Strong motor. Feels solid.

The grinds are not as even as I would like which is why I gave it the four-star rating but it works very well the charge last plenty for what I need and it is very portable and easy to use. I would definitely recommend this.

OH. I LOVE this thing. I haven't really pushed it with multiple grinds. But this gave me the best cup of coffee I've brewed at the office. I got the beans and a manual grinder, but I never could get the grind how I wanted it. This thing does it perfectly. And, you can start it and just set it on the desk and do whatever. It will automatically shut off. Then, just charge it up after I use it. Great little thing.

Worked okay at first. Exterior grind fineness control was nice and easy to use - as expected. Motor is weak: Even when it was brand new, if the beans are a little harder than normal, the grinder works extra hard, gets really hot to the touch, and that's if it even works at all - my grinder barely works anymore 2.5 months in. Battery life has always been pretty terrible - definitely nowhere near the advertised 30+ grinds per charge advertised. I'll probably see if one of our high school engineering students wants to try and fix it and see if they can get it to work again; otherwise, it'll either just be taking up space in our kitchen, or I'll just dispose of it.

This thing is great for the price! Can’t beat it! It takes about 30sec to a min to grind. Seems like it might not be a precise as a hand grinder, but it’s consistent. And for the price you can’t complain. The battery lasted me 4 weeks of 1 daily grind for 1 cup a day. I think that’s very impressive! And it does grind while charging, even from a completely dead coffee. The only thing I didn’t like is the way the clear plastic container attached to the bottom. I would prefer that it screws on with threads- but instead it had an o-ring and you push it on and off. Seems good- but the problem is that the grinds get caught in there and kinda make a mess, not terrible- but that’s the only downfall. And that’s just me being picky. See my pic for a better explanation Overall I would definitely buy an again!

Moulin a café FANTASTIQUE .

I bought this so I could enjoy decaf out of my husbands posh espresso machine. It is brilliant! It makes a lovely fine, even ground, it’s relatively quiet, the battery lasts ages between charges and the hopper holds enough beans for more than one cup of coffee. It is very tactile and feels like a quality build without being too heavy. I bought the white one but it’s more of a magnolia colour which doesn’t matter to me but might if you’re expecting a brilliant white one.

Does the job quite well especially for caravaners.

Je n’ai pas de point de comparaison avec d’autres. C’est mon 1er moulin. J’ai plusieurs cafetière (aéropress, bialetti italienne). Du coup, le moulin permet un réglage de la mouture suivant le style de cafetière, c’est top. Il y a une notice. Le cône pour broyer est en céramique et évite la chauffe du grain. Il suffit de régler et d'appuyer sur le bouton. Bien pour petite quantité de café. Pour une cafetière à filtre, il faudra faire plusieurs tournées de café dans le moulin. Le moulin broit doucement, ça laisse le temps de préparer sa cafetière

This thing is actually great. I'm really impressed with the build quality. It's not incredibly fast but I think that's a good thing. It's not overly loud but most importantly it actually uniformly grinds the beans across a huge range of coarse to fine. I like #6 or #5 for espresso. It has very dim lights to indicate it's charge level as pictured.
