★★☆☆☆
Really Wobbly Center Column
I originally had the Hario MSS-1B Mini Mill Slim Coffee Grinder which I loved, and needed to buy a second grinder (I ended up showing my dad the joys of having freshly ground coffee and don't have the heart to take my coffee grinder away from him). I wanted another hand grinder but wanted something with a bit more style. I ended up getting this one since it's the same brand as the one I had and it also had pretty solid reviews. Plus it looked pretty. I have two issues with it though. One of which I can't really fault this unit for, it's just a peril of getting a grinder of this style; when I grind a really light roast, the beans are a bit harder and they'll occasionally make the whole mill 'stutter' which can send beans flying all over the countertop. My main issue with this grinder however, is that the middle column is only held in place at a single point, so when I'm grinding a coarse grind, the middle grinding stone wobbles around quite a lot which leads to a very inconsistant grind. Since nobody else commented on this in any of the other reviews, I tried looking around to see if I was somehow doing something wrong, but from what I could tell, it looks like it's just a flaw in the design. Basically, unless I was in fact just doing something wrong with the grinder, or if you only want a finer coffee grind (in which case this grinder works great for that), I sadly can't really recommend this grinder.
