Galag Stainless Steel Manual Coffee Grinder

Overall, I think this is a great grinder! It's very cheap and does a very good job at grinding beans.Packaging: Super simple, comes as 2 pieces in the box (handle and main body) along with instructions. The only complaint I had with packaging was that the box it came in, was weak. When I lifted the box, the components just flew out; the top of the box seemed to have been weakened. I was left holding an empty box while the grinder was in the Amazon box it came in. Maybe to fix this problem, add some tape to the top of the box?Grinding: This is where I think this product really shines. The main body is divided into 2 main sections: a place to put whole beans and a place to catch the ground up coffee. Unfortunately, this thing is not air-tight, so you can't just store beans or grounded up beans in it. You might be willing to store beans in it just so you don't have to reload it often; just ground up what you need. I played with the settings for coarseness and have attached a photo of the most fine to more coarse(bottom to top).Cleaning: Not only is it a good grinder, but it cleans very easily as well. I expected the thing to be extremely difficult to clean as there are many small parts. However, this was not the case. A simple rinse of the steel pieces got rid of the ground up coffee residue. The actual grinder components, just required a small brush(I used an old tooth brush), to get off most of the residue. Cleaning is not required each time, so that makes it even better. What makes it really nice is I believe even the small pieces such as the spring and metal washers are also stainless steel, therefore, air drying is fine and you don't need to worry about rust.

One fully filled chamber in this grinder is just enough for that morning travel mug you take to work everyday. Ok, maybe more if you don't take your coffee as strong as I do.Every aspect of the design seems intentional as well as sturdy. I have an electric grinder so I figured it wouldn't hurt to try out a hand grinder for the eventual day the electric one dies (who know how old the thing is now). There's not much confusion in operation so long as you check the sheet included in the box. It's rather simple actually, just toss some beans in the top portion of the grinder, secure the top back on, connect the grinder torque and start spinning. If you need finely grinded grounds or huge shards, you can do it with this. Inside the bottom half of the grinder is a wheel to spin the ceramic grinder up and down to meet your requirements. It doesn't take much, so grind big and toss the grounds back in the top and adjust accordingly if you need them finer. Once you've got a position set you're good to go without much thought in the future.Nothing about this product feels weak or poorly made as the whole thing is just 3 or 4 parts in a steel chamber. I imagine it's fairly easy to clean as well, but that's not something I've taken the time or had the need to do just yet. Granted, if you're grinding too quickly and don't pay attention to your hand placement you can get some rough edges dug into your hand or wrist, but nothing too alarming or medically worrisome. Just be careful and pay attention to what you're doing.10/10 for a manual coffee grinder.

I wasn't sure what to expect with this relatively inexpensive manual grinder. It does grind coffee and the grind level is adjustable. Build quality is acceptable for the price. If you are in a setting that lacks access to electricity, I suppose this works in a pinch. But it is a grind to use; it took a fair amount of manual labor - maybe 2 minutes - to grind a 1/4 cup of coffee. If you only need small amounts of coffee, I suppose this is adequate.

This coffee grinder really works. It's simple I didn't need to read the instruxtions to do figure it out. Not labor intensive. I was pretty amazed! This thing is handy for camping trips, traveling, or whenever. Now I just need a good French press.. Overall good compact grinder looking forward to packing it on my trip to Bali next month. Can't wait to try local Bali beans.

I have only used this a few times but it works great! If you are doing coarse grounds it will only take a minute or so but if you want fine ground coffee then it could take up to 5 minutes to grind. It's like getting in a small workout before you have your coffee. I take this camping with me so no power is no problem; and I still get my fresh ground coffee!

This is a great tool to have on your weight loss/fitness journey. I use it to grind whole flax seeds. Having one of these is a must if you want to retain all the nutrients. My cousin also does a lot of bullet proof coffee and uses it to grind her coffee beans. We fight over it but i always win. I think i am going to have to buy her one so i can keep mine to myself. Its also great to travel with. Great seller, on point. Would purchase again.

Amazing coffee grinder, perfect for the "Daily grind"! I drink loads of coffee and I am not a snob, but I do grind my own coffee sometimes and this is a handy thing to have! I like it better than the automatic ones because it gives you greater control of the size of the grounds!

This is a very appealing sleek design. The only reason i didnt give this a 5 star is simply because the opening is a little small. Otherwise this is great for packing, hiking, and camping. Very smooth style and light weight. Grind your coffee fresh it just tastes better. Do it in style with this.
