WACACOExagrind, Manual Coffee Grinder, Stainless Steel Conical Burr, High Precision Adjustable Coffee Bean Grinder with Hand Crank, Handheld Portable Grinder for Espresso, Pour-Over, Camping, Travel

Really well built. Nearly been using it an entire year all around the word for my job. No issues at all

Excellent grinder.. on par with my Rancillio electric grinder that cost 3 times the price. I was considering a handheld grinder with a 48mm conical burr but the 38mm burr in the exagrind is still excellent and has the advantage of a folding handle design that's great for portability (which none of the 48mm grinders seem to have) - with 16g of beans and the grinder set to 15 clicks (for espresso), I can grind the beans in about 30 seconds without much effort. Grinding for aeropress at 25 clicks is super easy.Feels incredibly robust and well made (I think it will outlast me). Its weighty! adds to the robustness (but may be not the portability).The grind is incredibly consistent (from the 20 odd grinds I have done so far).Anyway, I love it and would recommend with ease.

Fabulous grinder, it is easy to use and can grind enough coffee beans at one time to make two full espressos.as a more mature coffee addict I appreciate the arm and shoulder workout with the grind. No electrical power required.

Like all the Wacaco products this works brilliantly. Don't hesitate to buy this. Produces a fine ground perfect for PicoPress

Works really well, feels well build. My only issue with it is that the handle doesn’t stay. A magnet would soil be the problem!

awesome for taking to work and travelling

So the description states this is a:-WACACO Exagrind, manual coffee grinder, stainless steel conical burr. High precision adjustable coffee bean grinder with hand crank. Handheld portable grinder for espresso, pour-over, camping, travel.This is definitely for a coffee Connoisseura Sommelier or a Q Grader.Because it's a quality piece of kit.*** The micro clicks adjustment:-* 60 clicks range* 33-micron adjustment per clickAfter you decide which size I'd best for you, adjust it to your setting and then, It works via the hand crank, what my brother in law said its another experience in the love of coffee to hand grInd your beans.(I'm sorry it's lost of me, because personally I don't like coffee but my other half and brother in law loves the stuff.So I knew who would be the perfect person to test it on because he has a very experience coffee maker.As I said I'm no Barista, but his eyes lit up and liked it.I took some time for him to show us and to work out which was the correct size grinder was best suited for there taste and which type of bean being used.I really didn't think so much thought needs to go into making a cup of coffee.The only thing that stands out to be is the high price tag.The price at the time of this review is £119.90.So far so good ~ except for the price tagBut I will update this review if needed.*** Detail's:-* Brand:- WACACO* Colour:- Black* Material:- ABS33mm Stainless Steel burrsStainless steel centre shaft & duel bearingsAluminium unibody frame* Recommended uses for product:- Coffee Grinde* Size:- 143mm x 53mm x 67mm5.6" x 2.1" x 2.6"* Burr ~ 38mm SS* Package Dimensions:- 18.9cm x 13cm x 8.1cm* Clicks per turn:- 30* Adjustment per click:- 33microns* Load capacity:- 20g* Weight:- 690 Grams

Pros:High qualityAttractive lookingRobust constructionMultiple grind settingsEasily adjustableQuick and effectiveCleverly designed handle & lidCons:Loose metal burr from manufacturing process found inside grinderI like to grind my own coffee but don’t really have the spare space nor money for a decent electric grinder. Therefore, I have been using a number of different manual grinders for some years now.This stainless-steel burr grinder from Wacaco, is an attractive design and looks and feels like a quality and robust product. It is also one of the best that I have used. It evenly ground the quantity required to fill my espresso portafilter in just one minute, significantly quicker than my next best manual grinder.Selecting the fineness of grind required is easy. You detach the grinds container and then whilst holding the handle, twist the adjustment nob clockwise fully back to the ‘starting point’. Whilst still holding the handle you then turn the knob back anti-clockwise the number of clicks recommended for the type of grind required.I found that 18 clicks gave me the fineness of grind I required to make a good espresso whilst 42 clocks produced the coarseness better suited to a Cafetière/French Press. In both cases a nice consistent grind was produced.Although the instruction manual doesn’t mention it, you can easily disassemble the grinder to enable you to clean the grinding burrs and remove any stale oils and grinds which build up over time and can taint the taste of your coffee. This you do by twisting the adjustment knob fully anti-clockwise until it comes off the thread on its spindle. You can then carefully remove the component parts of the grinding mechanism and clean them before reassembling in the reverse order.It its whilst I was dissembling the grinding mechanism that a loose piece of metal burr, which had clearly been produced during the manufacturing process, fell out. This is probably quite a rare occurrence and is the only negative point that I could identify with the grinder.The grinder comes with a travel bag and cleaning brush. In a clever piece of design, the handle/lid fitting reverses so that the handle hangs neatly and tightly down the side of the body for ease of storage/transportation. When in use, the lid is transparent which enables you to monitor how many beans are still in the hopper.In conclusion, if you need a manual coffee grinder then I can highly recommend this one from Wacaco.Thank you for reading my review. I hope that you found it useful.
