$90 is a lot for a coffee grinder I know, but as pseudo coffee snobs who travel almost every weekend and camp close to a month a year, this was well worth it. We hate hotel coffee and find Starbucks and alike to be overpriced and typically bad too so we brew our own coffee while traveling.Pro tip setup below:For our hotel set-up, we use a .6 quart collapsible kettle (boils water in 3 min), gci java drip collapsible coffee filter holder, #4 cone filters, and organic locally roasted beans. We even bring this setup in our carryon while flying - works great even in an airport lounge for our early morning flights. While camping we use a camp stove rather than the electric kettle to boil water. We'll use the pour over method on a 16oz travel mug we usually travel with and makes a perfect 16oz of coffee. This set-up without the grinder was about $40.We used to grinder our beans in a burr grinder before we left for each trip, but recently did a 2 week camping trip and wanted fresh beans so after a lot of research, I bit the bullet and bought this. This grinder holds about the perfect amount of beans if doing a 16oz pour over brew like we do. This grinder is very fast in grinding, adjusting the grind size was very easy, and everything about it is super high quality, like handling something built by Bugatti. The quality of our coffee using fresh ground beans I think significantly improved. If you don't notice much of a difference between preground and fresh ground beans, then this might not be a necessary purchase.Although this is expensive, when I sat down and did the math - my wife and I drink about 16oz each while traveling @ $2.50 per 16oz for Starbucks, this setup with the grinder paid itself off after about 28 days of travel vs buying coffee, and calculate the convenience of having coffee right away in the morning without having to go somewhere, and having coffee that's consistently high quality, this setup has paid itself off several times over.Only con was the travel case isn't partitioned, so the handle and grinder can rub against each other marring them up. I used some thin bubble wrap and tape and made separate sleeves for the handle and grinder at the cost of $0 and 5 min of my time. Worthwhile to protect such a fine piece of art.
