Product Description
Whatever method of coffee making you prefer, you’ll need a slightly different consistency of grounds to make it properly. With the GEFU Lorenzo coffee grinder you get 11 degrees of fineness to choose from, so you can make that French press, filter coffee, or espresso the way it’s meant to be made Read More
Great value for a small grinder. Been dailying it for almost a year before I started realising inconsistencies with the grind size. Was great while it lasted, about time I’ve upgraded to an electronic one.
I have used this grinder almost daily for about 2 years. Using it only for coffee, it has performed quite well for me. I've used it primarily for pour over, but also auto-drip and French press.
I will say that now, it does seem to work its way from my preferred setting, to the next one larger quite slowly, like over several days. But I'm completely satisfied with that amount of play after the amount of use I've gotten from it.
As for design, it is pretty simple. I suppose it would make more sense for my use case if the base/foot part was integrated with the cup at the bottom, but that is a choice, and I suppose it could be nice to not have that if used while backpacking.
I started typing this with four stars filled out, but I really cant fault anything about it, the price was right, it performed consistently for years, and in general filled its purpose for me. I'm sure it has several more years of good use left.
I've had this grinder for a year and a half now, and it's still going strong with almost daily use. 0 complaints so far, still. If you want a cheap, budget manual grinder for yourself, there's hardly any other better options. And, truly, the only way you can find a better grinder is if you get an automatic one(i.e., more expensive).
I've used this on numerous backpacking trips and the coffee grind and brew quality rivals my home setup with a chemex brewer. I love the included burr grinder and how it all packs up into a small, lightweight package.
Good design, eh materials, okay grinder, great value
I have liked using this grinder. It is a real upgrade form the basic hario burr grinder I had. The drive shaft is stabilized which is good, and I like the grind adjustment (although doesn't offer very fine control of the grind size). The grind catch is a little small. I think for the price it is fantastic, but it doesn't compete with the consistency of higher end steel burr hand grinders. Perhaps it is unfair to compare. For 90% of people, if your grinding you beans, bravo and this piece will do just fine.
If your really looking for an espresso grinder, than it's gunna be tough to find at this price point. I think this is a great value for the money. I myself wish I had the budget for a lido 3 or something, but I don't. So I have this and I am happy overall. If money is no object for you, you can do better. If things are tight (like myself) then it is worth what they are asking for.
Everything is likeable about this grinder, from the construction to the grind quality. The plastic and metal construction is very sturdy, I probably wouldn't beat someone with it, but it's heavy.
The grinder performs a hell of a lot better than the cheaper one my mum had. While I can't comment on the grind quality vs other brand name mill grinders, I think it's pretty consistent.
I guess the only problem is that it's manual and therefore really damn slow. There are mods for this though, the drawback being you need a drill in the kitchen. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1CPzo39Y5so
Grinds finely and consistently, just takes forever to grind a double shot of espresso. Beside the amount of work required to grind finely, the only issue I encountered was that the handle kept calling off. It really wasn't bad if taken as an average of falling off per turns but that's only because of the number of turns it took. In all likelihood it may have been my technique, but due to the work involved and handle falling off issues, I have been less than eager to use it again.
I would wholeheartedly recommend this to a friend. Especially one that prefers a coarser grind or does not have the aid of a power source. It's a perfectly good grinder and works as advertised. I prefer the modern convenience of electricity even if the grind isn't nearly as consistent.
Maybe this isn't the best/perfect grinder out there for the price (I don't have the most vast experience on that) but I can say I'm not upset for buying it. For a manual grinder it works exceptionally well and I have no complaints aside from how long it can take (not that it takes an hour but there are a few minutes of grinding for the french press); however it's a good calorie burner for that next cup of coffee... ^_^
I’ve been using since the last drop, so just over 2 months now. Build quality is very good and grinds very well. However, the only thing I don't like is... it's not that easy to hold while grinding as the top section of the barrel is somewhat big. It slips quite easily unless you hold it tight. If you have small hands, maybe look for other alternatives.
