Review on IMAVO Wooden Manual Coffee Grinder - Cast Iron Hand Crank For Making Mesh Coffee, Decoration & Best Gift! by Gene Evans

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Don't forget it is manual and and cheap

First and foremost, I love the look of it. Will look good in any kitchen, the vintage look just makes you want to use it.That part being out of the way, couple of things to point out, first being obvious.IT IS A MANUAL! means you have to do the work! a few comments I have seen about these is that they want the look without doing the work, it is to hard. yeah, it takes work, but it makes your coffee taste better knowing you worked for it.yes, it is made in china, but still a great look, and so far great working product.biggest downfall is the size. It is smaller then expected, and the collection box does not hold much. 100 turns on the finest setting gets about 1 tablespoon worth. To be able to get enough to fill my Bialetti 5.7 moka pot, I have to crank it 300 times before i can start my coffee. I am sure one day I will get tired of it, but for now, i love it.Biggest mislead on this was the material. seems only the circular crank handle is metal, the rest is plastic. it does wobble around a little bit, but not much, and yes, the gears are plastic as well. but it turns smoothly. and the center post is metal, but the fill box is plastic but looks cast iron.Overall, if you don't mind a little extra work in the morning, and want something stylish in your kitchen, this one is the one to go for, and for the price, you can not beat it.
