AVNICUD Manual Coffee Grinder: Enjoy Freshly Ground Coffee with a Hand-Crank Grinder

Maria: I have it now for 3 years…and use it daily. It is durable and still going strong.
Once I have adjusted to my preference of the grains for the espresso machine I never had to adjust since then..
Love the little plastic window to see how much coffee you still have. Very happy with my purchase years later!

Steven Sester: This grinder is great for me. If I fill it up with beans and grinds just over enough coffee for two cups that make my morning. Thanks to the long handle it makes grinding fairly effortless. I have not cleaned the upper chamber but the bottom one is easy to deal with. It doesn't need a lot of counter space.

I don't really have any negatives to share but it did take a couple tries to get the grind I wanted correct. The handle does not like to stay folded for storage but it is no big deal to set it in place when it is where you want it.

Cramer Gallimore: An amazing purchase. This is the best portable grinder I have found. I have it tuned to make perfect coffee for a French press. The little folding handle is a great touch. Clearly this is not designed for every day use but I’m going to use it every day as long as I can. As a matter fact I’m going to buy a second one. Looks very sharp next to my stainless steel coffee press.

Alex: The grinder broke right after my return window closed so that I can no longer return it due to defective construction. BUY AT YOUR OWN RISK.

The grinder gets some good grinds in. The coffee fines it produces can get even smaller than espresso grinds, so after a little bit of tweaking, it wouldn't be surprising to get a good espresso grind.

The part that broke was the plastic connection between the turning handle and the metal spike that was attached to the grinding disk. The plastic "square hole" deformed in such a way that it could no longer turn the square peg, causing each rotation of the handle to slip and not apply any torque to the grinding disk.

Kindle Customer: Many of these compact coffee grinders can be hard on the user's hands and wrists due to the short crank handles on top. I originally got this one for when I'm in the mood for coffee from flavored beans, so as to prevent the flavoring from affecting straight-up coffee ground through our countertop grinder. But this is also an excellent one for taking on a vacation.

Knowing how another model had affected my wrists, I chose this one for the folding handle which is longer than the one on the earlier grinder I had. I often do a pre-stretch of my hands/wrists anyway and hold it against my belly wall while grinding, and its rounded triangle design allows me a more secure grip as well, and I'm doing much better with this one, no more strain!

It should be great for travel; it's also easy to take apart for cleaning. One minor disadvantage is that it does not fit inside an Aeropress for travel, not a deal-breaker by any means.

Overall, an excellent choice, especially given its price point!

Randy: I love the design of this grinder and it works really well, with the adjustable wheel making a coarser grind for my french press perfectly. Unfortunately it's styling is better than it's design. The bottom part of the cylinder which catches the grounds has only a couple small dimples to hold it on, doesn't lock at all, and comes apart easily. I have to bear down on the top part against the counter top to keep it from coming apart while I'm grinding. If the two parts locked together better it would be perfect. As it is, it's almost unusable and requires a lot of effort to keep it together while grinding.

Update (3/22/22): Been using this for over a year now almost every day and it is still working and looking great. Found out the problem was the plastic insert in the bottom was slipping out of the metal. Once I glued the plastic bottom cup back into the metal (small amount of epoxy and just slid it in) it worked great. When properly seated the top and bottom mesh and hold fine. Maybe mine was a fluke that it came apart, but even if it wasn't, it's an easy fix for an inexpensive grinder that looks and works great.
