Editorial Review :

This is a beautiful coffee grinder. Made of old style white ceramic pottery with a clamp on lip reminding you of the old clamp on Mason jar lids.The grinding mechanism itself is adjustable and will have to be adjusted to your favorite grinded bean. Just loosen the nut on the shaft and turn the star wheel up or down till you get the best grind. It may take some experimenting to get it just the way you like it.Stands over 10" tall with the base at 5" across. It looks like it will hold about a quart of coffee (or whatever, cookies, jelly beans, etc. if you want to use it as a safe).It also has a ceramic loop on the side to hold your spoon or measuring scoop.Great gift for just about any occasion.We are even giving a a great wooden spoon with this grinder.

I love this thing!

What a handy coffee grinder! I love it! It is aboslutely fabulous for when the power is out, or when you don't want to drag out an electric one, plus it looks really cute sitting on your counter! Really easy to adjust the grind size ... if you prefer a finer grind or a coarse grind, it does it, in just a few seconds!! You can grind just a little or a lot and store it in the ceramic crock. My kiddos love to help in the kitchen, and this was a great way to get them involved in helping prepare breakfast last weekend!! So easy, even a child can do it! Would make a great gift ... a wedding gift for the coffee drinking couple, or add it to a gift basket full of gourmet coffees, a cool mug & some great home-made (or store bought for the non-adventurous) biscotti. Would also make a great addition to a country kitchen.

Decorative use only

We had our power knocked out by Hurricane Ike and realized we needed to have a manual coffee bean grinder. After our power came back I saw this on Amazon.com and thought it would be just right. It arrived with a $10 shipping and handling fee which brought the cost to $35. It was not worth it. The handle unscrewed immediately. The metal parts are cheap and flimsy and would not stay set long enough to grind even one bean. They added a wooden spoon-may be trying to make you feel like you are getting something for your money. Cute, but useless as a real kitchen tool.
