Does anyone know if this unit has a support structure next to the burr? Inexpensive units tend to have a support holding the shaft at the end next to the crank and then use the burr itself as the other supporting structure at the other end of the shaft. This works ok with fine grinds as the "tight" burr holds the shaft in alignment. But with course grinds, the burr surfaces are loosely fitted which allows the shaft to wobble when it's cranked. This produces an inconsistent grind and one ends up with a lot of sediment in your cup of coffee.

JimInClwI recently received mine from the last drop. There are two supports. One at the top and one closer to the bottom. It wobbles ever so slightly, but it's nowhere near as bad as others like the ubiquitous Hario Skerton. I'm still dialing in the grind setting for my pour over, but I'm impressed so far.

MezzThe effort is less. The Lorenzo is skinnier which makes it easier to grasp, and the crank is also longer which makes the grinding require less strength. I think it is a bit faster than my old Hario. But the main thing for me is it is more pleasant overall to grind.

SaeulfI'm glad you like it. How smooth would you say the grinding action is?
My current manual grinder, while turning the handle the grinder will get caught and knock everything off balance. This happens quite a few times in one session. I'm not sure if this is a common among manual grinders.
