Hario Mini Mill vs Krups F203 Electric Spice and Coffee Grinder

If anything, I think the Major Dickason's doesn't taste as sweet as the Gaia pre-ground, but I cannot tell whether it's because of the difference between the coffees, or because the grinding makes the coffee worse. I bought a can of the Kirkland Decaf (48ozs at $13), and the big difference seems to be that the pre-ground stuff is much harder to push through the Aeropress than the self-grounded coffee. And honestly, if you took away the grinder and made me drink the kirkland decaf, except for the missing caffeine, I'm not sure I'd prefer the self-ground coffee. I'll keep the grinder, if only because a lot of variety of coffee beans don't come pre-ground, and I really don't feel like grinding it at the Costco grinders which don't ever seem to get cleaned

This can do and you can do a good course. Medium and fine grind with this. Obviously it's not going to be as good as the as the burr grinder, but you ...

I recently went for the Hario Mini Mill Pro (slightly fancier, metal body, probably the same on the inside). After all the research I could muster I came to the conclusion that the Hario is the best I could get at this price point, and even Hoffman was quite pleased with his. Can't say if the Rhino is good or not, haven't stumbled across it in my research.

The prices on this item vary to a ridiculous amount I have since discovered. I have seen it priced from below $10 to over $60. This one was easy and convenient, free shipping, came quickly and was new in a new, unscarred box that would be suitable for a gift, so I am not disappointed, however if you are minding your pennies and not in a hurry, you can save a bob or two by comparison shopping. The plastic making up the lid is soft and brittle

* Clear acrylic (methyl methacrylate) bottom chamber allows checking the grounded coffee. * I like the handle hangs on the unit for storage. Cons: * Uneven grind for medium roasted beans (Full City). * Difficult (even impossible) to grind light roasted beans (American to City)

I love the smell of fresh coffee brewing in the morning or pretty much any time of day. I admit it's really easy to get the already ground stuff, but ...

170-180F is better. You'll soon discover what you like best. So for about $55 you can be all set to brew coffee that's better anything than you can get outside of a high-end coffee shop, at a fraction of the price. In the long term that's a bargain

DO NOT STORE IN FREEZER!!!!!!!! Just put in a cabinet in the dark. I know it seems like a bit of trouble to do all of this, but if you don't care about the flavor of the coffee, then you probably wouldn't be looking at a grinder anyway..

I open the bag very carefully, about two fingers worth, enought to pore the beans out into the storage cup, and quickly reseal the bag. For me, the scecret to great tasting coffee every single day is to follow these steps, plus, having a single-serve coffee machine (Black and Decker's Brew 'n Go -- [URL REMOVED] is the way to go. I've been using this exact same machine for at least 10 years, I think. People always compliment the aroma from my coffee

I like the look and feel of it, and the price is reasonable even I only use it for grinding coffee beans. If you want to grind herbs though, you might want to look for another product.

I use it primarily for grinding turkish coffee (1 click) and for pour-over drip grind for individual cups (9 clicks). I don't think there's as cheap a grinder that does turkish fine, so there's no real comparison there. For one or two tiny cups, it takes as much time to grind the beans as it does for the water to heat in the ibrik, For regular drip coffee, I do notice a difference in odor and flavor with the Hario compared to the whirly. My wife however can't tell the difference, so be warned: no everyone finds burr grinders worth the trouble

When emptying, gentle taps will clear the spice off the blades - Avoid the temptation to try parmesan blocks or bread in this. This machine was not designed for moistness at any level. - Other ideas: Mustard powder, white peppercorn powder (great in soups), coriander-cumin mix (aromatic in many Indian dishes), nut meals (please roast dry first), fennel seed powder (a friend suggested a heavy pinch of this for an excellent pizza sauce).
