Baratza Virtuoso+ vs Hario Skerton Pro

Honestly, I don't think the Commandante is well priced given the value you get out of it.

KitchenArt 80310 Dual End Salt & Pepper Grinder is essentially the same mechanism, and twice the grinder mech at half the cost! That's just an example of why this is overpriced. The KitchenArt is not practical for large-scale grinds but adequate for those that just need a pinch here or there. It will grind coffee, too, but without the leverage of the handle that Hario et al employ. So, if you're looking to grind spice with this, consider a cheaper solution or put the same money towards an electric version

Versatile settings Adjustable times, and pulse mode. Cons- *There is a learning curve for grounds! Everyone has different taste. Plus the pamphlet is pretty off in terms of what ground settings go good with each type of coffee. I think the settings say 8 for Espresso

I am not impressed. I would like to find something better but unwilling to spend $100 for a manual grinder that from some reviews still has issues. 😏

When it comes to grinding beans for coffee makers, pour over AeroPress and everything in between. There's one grinder that we've recommended consisten...

Look at this. We've got the adjustment to the burr grinder right here. This is all ceramic so it's really high-quality strong ceramic and that's where...

For some unknown reason, the coffee produced by the Barataza is a bit more flavorful than my old Breville. Nice crema too.

It's not bad, but some particles are super small and you get tons of extraction, and some particles are pretty large and they don't extract as much. This means that you likely have some overextraction (generally giving you more bitter, smoky tastes), some underextraction (generally giving you more acidic notes), and some perfectly extracted. This isn't terrible, but you end up getting a lot of different coffee tastes all in the same cup.

To grind the equivalent of two generous scoops of beans for one 16oz mug of coffee (pour-over), we: Set the timer to 10.1 seconds, it auto memorizes that setting. Set the grind selection to #9. Press the button

The beans are ground to perfection for pour over freshly ground bean coffee. It’s easy to use with the little handle crank. It’s easy to clean. I did my research and found that this one checked all of my needs and wants in a hand grinder

turning the dial up for a long grind to brew 10 cups is easy.. but if I need to reduce the time, it goes backwards by a 10th of a second.

For this, I weigh and grind 26 grams of whole beans to brew. Grinding this quantity of beans takes between 180 to 200 turns of the crank, and though I haven't timed it, is probably two minutes of "enthusiastic" grinding. No, I'm not working up a sweat, but it's a two-handed (two armed) operation that doesn't let me do much else at the same time. So I understand why some think this is an unacceptable nuisance
