While the Grinder is smaller than it looks !! It goes great with my decore and works great . from Overstock.com As always, I am pleased with the service from OverStock. The only reason I did not give this an excellent rating was the speed of the coffee grinder; it does not have the speed of an electrical coffee grinder. from Overstock.com I'ts cute and will make a good conversation piece. Not knowing after all these years, I purchased eight o'clock French vanilla coffee beans for my first usage and found out my wife can not stand flavored coffee. from Overstock.com Simple perfection for each grind. This is an exact replica of an 1800's Coffee Grinder: Heavy cast iron and wood. from Overstock.com The grinder lets whole beans go through the grinder. I returned this to the seller one day after receiving it, and never heard back from them. from Amazon.com TRIED to use it. Every other review with 1 star or less is true times ten -- after sitting on my shelf for over 2 years it still has an 'off' smell, and that's with some French-Italian roast coffee in it. I love coffee and I grind most of my seed spices fresh -- this is good for none of these purposes, Perhaps it works for a French Press, but I found while waiting for a real coffee grinder that a mortar and pestle worked very well as a pre-grinder, and when I first pre-ground and then put the coffee in this grinder it STILL let half beans fall through, so I ended up using one of my extra 'coffee' type grinders I use for other spices, and was one I use when power goes out for more than a week, or when camping, I could make coffee, but with this unit even pre-ground beans don't come out fine enough for anything but 'cowboy' coffee -- just boil it long enough and add the egg and it will work -- Right now it looks very nice on the top shelf of my book shelf. after two days, I broke down and bought a Black and Decker blade grinder at my local hardware store, and then bought a real conical grinder so I could switch easily back and forth between a medium grind a friend likes for normal drip, and a very fine grind that another friend likes for Italian pot espresso, and a Turkish grind that I love either as Turkish coffee or in my Melita drip cone. from Amazon.com Just received this coffee grinder and was very disappointed in quality. It DOES NOT grind beans -- well, maybe half of them. from Amazon.com If this "grinder" was ten bucks, it would be okay as a decorative item, because it's cute. If it doesn't arrive broken, like mine did. from Amazon.com This is not a Zassenhaus grinder it is a cheap in-exensive grinder that will work for a french press. That is what I wanted. I did not want to pay $100+ for a grinder. This works just fine for me. from Amazon.com When the box was opened a strong lacquer odor was present and the grinder had to be aired out for several days. The grinder is crudely constructed and therefore, crudely grinds beans. from Amazon.com
