Hario Mini Mill

Another vote for the Timemore Chestnut C2. I previously had a Hario Mini Mill, and it brings out so much more flavor. It is also so much nicer to use and much faster. You can get it on Aliexpress for cheap, it's a chinese brand.

Lots of people raved to me about the benefits of grinding your own coffee from coffee beans rather than buying pre-ground coffee. It sounded like a good thing, but I wasn't willing to spend the big bucks that the electric burr grinders cost, nor did I really want to devote counter space to something...

The experience with the Hario Mini Mill is somewhat clunky, dreadful and takes a long time. The C2 on the other hand is weightier, and it's smooth as butter.

I have been using this handy little grinder for a few months. I have REALLY enjoyed it until recently (more on that in a moment). First, to answer some questions or doubts you may have after reading other reviews: ARE THE GRINDS EVEN? - Yes, the grinds are very even at almost every coarseness. The c...

My morning's are quite rushed as it is and sometimes I don't want to spend 3 mins grinding on my Hario mini - its fine but not as consistent in size. I enjoy doing it in the afternoon/weekends though. I recently tried by buying 1 bag of beans to grind on slower days and another ground on purchase from the roaster for my early mornings. I finish all within a month so the pre-ground doesn't go off ?

When I opened the box, my initial thought positive. The acrylic chamber and lid were nice touches; the look and color of the ceramic conical burr were impressive. Overall, the grinder looks and feels great in the hand, I ditched my electric blade grinder and used this exclusively. After using this g...

As an owner of the Hario Mini Mill, I would like to tell you that you can do much better than the mini mill for just a little bit extra. Since this is your first grinder, I would suggest that you either get the Timemore C2 which has stainless steel burrs, which is a big upgrade from the ceramic burrs in the Hario and it only costs like 20 bucks more (atleast in my country), or you could save up for a really good grinder like the JX Pro or Comandante. The thing is, that a coffee grinder will stay with you for a decent amount of time, and the quality of the grinder will be fixed for that entire amount of time. I felt soon after 5-6 months of getting the Hario that my taste buds wanted so much more from my brews, which the Hario fails to deliver.

Got this to compliment my ROK espresso maker. It took way to long to find a ceramic burr grinder for less than $120. It takes probably a minute to grind a full load in this thing, but it is by no means difficult. It basically stores about 1.5x what you need for espresso in the hopper, so don't think...

The hario mini mill is, honestly speaking, not great, but it's a good grinder for getting into coffee. When you can taste and identify it's limitations you'll be ready to upgrade. At $50 it's probably that or the porlex.

I don't do french press, siphon, or drip. I got this purely as an espresso grinder. I wasted a lot of beans and time trying to get this guy to work for me and almost thew it away a couple times out of frustration. I got everything figured out after a couple of weeks and now it's performing great. Th...
