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

How long does it take to grind? That's one complaint I've heard from other sources about hand grinders.

rhinocerosbladderFor about three cups' worth (according to this model's measurements), it takes me about a minute and a half of just grinding without breaks.

I tend to look at top sellers on Amazon before committing to a drop, just to see what else is out there. In this case, the top seller is about $10 cheaper and seems to have great reviews (https://www.amazon.com/JavaPresse-Manual-Coffee-Grinder-Stainless/dp/B013R3Q7B2/ref=zg_bs_14092841_1?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=HCG00DSSWGVVTMHWGJ5N) anyone have experience with this particular JavaPresse model?

Better late than never! I've had my GEFU grinder for about 2 years now and it's still going strong. I toss the separate parts into the dishwasher maybe once a month and I've had zero problems so far. You won't regret this upgrade.

penguinzReporting back to say that you are right - I don't regret buying this in the least! All of the pros that you mentioned are true and I have only a couple of very minor nitpicks about this grinder. Other than that, I love it and haven't touched the JavaPresse since owning it. :) Thank you again!

I've had this grinder since the last time it dropped on here. And I'm still enjoying great consistency! I use it every other day and it's been like 4 months I think. Definitely pick it up

BeatzDezignsDo you have any problems with the body of it slipping from your grasp while grinding-- as described by earlier comments, someone else?

schreibIt's definitely not the most ergonomic design, it requires some lower arm strength. Someone with smaller hands will have harder time gripping it.
I place the grinder on tabletop while grinding and I tend to hold it closer to the top to stabilize it. As you can see from pictures, the diameter increases toward the top and that's the main problem for me.
I'd say I have medium-sized hands and I definitely got used to it after few uses.
It grinds pretty quick and the crank arm is long and easy to turn -- no effort required there.
I got this grinder from last drop and the grind has been consistent. I use it every day in the office. I am scrolling through the discussion section now to justify buying a second one for home.

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.

The 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.

Well... Here go my 2 cents. Nothing that goes into my drinks touches plastic. It is definitely a no-go for me.
In any case, I can not find any information on burr size or type. I did read they are made of ceramic. Would be nice to know if it is flat or conical burrs and knowing the size, specially for those looking for an espresso grinder.

AndreugvI have one of these. The burr is a conical ceramic. I don't know how burrs are usually measured, but the rotating inner part measures about 28.5mm in diameter at the bottom. I'm guessing this grinder wouldn't be great for espresso, but I think it's great for drip, pour over, and french press.

I got this and the Bredemeijer: https://www.massdrop.com/buy/bredemeijer-stainless-steel-coffee-mill
I've been running them both side-by-side, grinding coffee for a French press, and this one is coming out on top in almost every way. It doesn't have as large a collection volume, but the grind is more consistent, it's quite a bit quicker (my guess is the inlet on the burrs is better designed on this one), and with the longer arm and body sized to grab with your other hand, it's a lot more comfortable to use.
My daughter's taking this one when she goes back to school at the end of the month, so I'm hoping the drop opens again soon.

tom.benedictI'm replacing my Skerton with this grinder. Seems better designed for grinding coffee (downside is it requires a tool for breakdown). Easier and more consistent than the Hario.

How consistent is the grind on this? I have a hario skerton, but I found that there was a non-insignificant amount of play on the shaft. I would get somewhat inconsistent grinding and occasional powder.

thechiliedoneFor my Hario Skerton, I just have to tighten the nut occasionally, and the play on the shaft goes away. YMMV.

connoisseurThe smallest grind setting is for espresso coffee, not fine enough for Turkish coffee.
