Manual JavaPresse Coffee Grinder with Adjustable Grind Settings

Nathaniel: I've had this grinder for about eighteen months and use it two or three times a day, grinding one cup of coffee worth at a time. I've loved it the entire time I've had it and have nothing but good things to say aside from one flaw that recently made the grinder unusable. Despite regular cleaning, the ceramic grinder component that's attached to the grinder itself has come loose so that the entire grinding mechanism rotates inside the steel cylinder rather than the two ceramic pieces grinding the beans between them. After taking it apart to figure out what exactly had happened, it seems that nothing actually broke, but the outer ceramic grinder part was attached to the inside of the steel cylinder with glue, and the glue bond I guess wore out, allowing the entire apparatus to come loose. I'm not an engineer, but it seems like physically indexing the ceramic cylinder in place would better secure it, but as it is, my grinder is sadly unusable for now while I look for an effective way to fix it. I followed the links on Amazon to the manufacturer website, but the link that says "contact us" just loops back to the FAQ, and as far as I can tell, doesn't provide an actual way to get in...

Nicolas CrispinoNicolas Crispino: It is not a useful article, it goes very badly, I will explain myself:
*You can spend 10 minutes turning the crank to grind coffee for a double measure.
*The degree of grinding is constantly changing and you have to be regulating it all the time.
*Occasionally the grain inlet to the millstones clogs and you have to unclog it.
* The materials are very very shabby, totally cheap. It doesn't make sense at this price. If the case were that it is a technical tool and the material was secondary, well... I wouldn't mind, but the truth is that the operation is painful. Wasted money.

No es un artículo útil, va muy mal, me explicaré:
*Puedes pasar 10 minutos dándole a la manivela para moler café para una medida doble.
*El grado de molido se cambia constantemente y hay que estar regulandolo todo el tiempo.
*De vez en cuando la entrada de grano a las muelas se obtura y hay que desatorar lo.
* Los materiales son muy muy cutres, barato total. No tiene sentido a este precio. Si el caso fuera que se trata de una herramienta técnica y el material fuera secundario, bueno... no me importaría, pero la verdad es que el funcionamiento es penoso. Dinero tirado a la...

E Truscott: This is the same generic grinder you can find on here for significantly cheaper from other sellers. We bought 3 grinders from 3 different sellers at 3 different prices to compare. All 3 were exactly the same externally and internally with the same identical grinding mechanism and all came in the same exact boxes (the Javapresse DID NOT come in the box they have pictured). The only difference was this one had a "Javapresse" decal on the grinder (that was partially scratched off). I guess they figure that cheap decal adds value! You can get these for free directly from Javapresse for the cost of shipping so they aren't worth much. Don't waste your money. There are better brands for about the same price that are of much higher quality.

Nick: Product was great upon arrival and first few uses.
However, after a few weeks, the whole internal contraption started turning when the crank was turned, rendering it unusable.

Israel RosasIsrael Rosas: Algunas personas recomiendan molinos con muelas de metal, en vez de cerámica. Sin embargo, si recién inician en estos temas, este molino es una muy buena alternativa por su relación calidad-precio. Con este molino he podido obtener muy buenos espressos.

La foto muestra la textura que se puede obtener con este molino con un grano black honey (y aún se puede hacer más fino).

Un punto a considerar es que si los granos no están muy tostados, en ocasiones puede sentirse como si el molino se trabara. En ese caso no recomiendo aplicar más fuerza, sino girar brevemente en contrasentido para que los granos se acomoden mejor y luego continuar.

Amazon Customer: Really pleased with this grinder. I've had it for a good while now and love it. It is easy to dial in the grind I like and produces a really consistant quality grind. Very easy to use and clean. I don't know how long the burrs are expected to last but there is no apparent wear yet and I use it 3 or 4 times aweek.

Haon the Great: About 4 months ago, my wife bought us an espresso maker for our anniversary. After seeing prices upwards of $100 for every electric burr grinder out there, we decided to go with this little guy instead. Now, after having two of these grinders and making espressos every day (no that is not a joke, and yes, we like our coffee), there are four big takeaways:

0) First off, this thing grinds quite well, which it should since that's is sole job (but see #2). Espresso absolutely tastes noticeably different between this and an electric blade grinder. If you want espresso, you need a non-blade grinder of some sort, for certain.

1) This device is ... SLOOOOOW ... at grinding espresso for two people. It is quite fast if you want a French press (takes us about a minute), but if you want grinds small enough for several shots of espresso, be prepared to elbow grease it for 5-10 minutes. While this is typically a non-issue (you simply grind while talking, or watching the news, etc.), we have days where 5-10 minute grind sessions are just not possible and others were it just seems like my time should be better spent elsewhere (like walking the dog, or helping my kids). If you are a...

Mr. Bear: So, I'm not like most bears. Right now up here in Orr, Minnesota, the rest of the bears are sleeping. Contrary to popular belief, we bears don't take our deep winter naps just because it is cold - we do it because food is hard to come by in the Winter weather. It's simply far more efficient for us to fatten up and sleep the weight away during the snowy months.

But I am still awake, you see. Like your Yogi, I am smarter than the average bear. I have a plan. It works. It is brilliant in its simplicity, really. I don't bother to forage for food. No, instead, I let the food come to me. As I said, I'm not like most bears.

Oh hush, I'm getting to the coffee grinder, really I am. We bears tend to expound quite a bit so I'm afraid you'll just have to suffer and, ahem, bear with me.

There are several Boy Scout troops in my area. These aren't the soft, pudgy ones you get from the big cities you humans love so much. No, these are the real Boy Scouts of old. They will come camping in any weather, even during the worst blizzards, testing their furless, pink little bodies against the might of the weather.

These Boy Scouts, you see, are the source of my - no, no,...
