Review on ☕️ Hario Ceramic Coffee Mill-Original, Black: Precision Grinding for Freshly Ground Coffee by Aaron Lewis

I've been using this grinder for almost 6 years and it's a great addition to my Aeropress. Ceramic grinders produce a very consistent grind with click limiters on the setting that retain the setting you make and allow you to experiment (counting clicks back and forth) to get the right grind. I like the ease with which ground coffee can be poured into the Aeropress, it just fits. A few signs of wear after 6 years. 1 - about a year ago the grinding became more and more unstable and uneven. At first I thought the grind setting was off, but when I finally disassembled it completely and used a small brush to clean the grindstones, everything was back to its original precision. Depending on the level of roast you want, you may need to clean it annually or at least once every few years. Oily beans build up faster and may require more frequent cleaning. Lighter to medium roasts grind fairly quickly with a crackling noise, darker roasts grind with a smoother feel and less noise, but the oil builds up much faster. In any case, it is very easy to disassemble and very quick to clean. 2. Various people have discussed using a cordless drill to make a "mechanized" grinder, but I haven't succeeded. The bolt that the handle attaches to is pentagonal (mine) and I couldn't find a suitable screwdriver. Even the so-called "universal" power strips couldn't grab it safely, and I gave up. I really like the grind setting as it seems to correspond to the time it takes my kettle to heat the water to temperature. My wife says this is my morning exercise. Some days she's not wrong. Overall this was an amazing grinder and went great with my Aeropress and also the Bodum Dripper. I can't say this is the absolute sturdiest coffee grinder, but for the price I've never seen one that compares.
