Great product, delivered on time and with clear English Language instructions.
I have used this product for about six months and it has performed flawlessly.I purchased this product to replace a blade grinder. I spent some time researching coffee mills, I read the Amazon reviews and watched the U-Tube video about coffee grinders before deciding to try the originAIM.I found the product easy to assemble with clear illistrations and English instructions. I use it to grind beans for my Aeropress Coffee and Espresso Maker, a espresso coffee maker, and an automatic filter coffee maker. The originAIM makes different grinds for each.I did have to mark the adjusting screw to allow me to be able to accurately reproduce different size coffee grinds for different coffee makers, but there were plenty of instructions on the internet to augment the instructions that came with the product.The rubber cover keeps the beans inside the hopper while grinding, the handle turns without difficulty and with a soft grinding sound, and the rubber base make the product easy to hold or place on a surface for grindi

Almost Perfect
I really like this grinder. Make sure you get one in retail packaging since I tried to save a few bucks and bought an open box. Totally different with older design and missing parts. I really like the fine adjustment and after a week of trying minute changes I found the perfect setting for pour over drip coffee. It helps when your bean supplier lets you feel the consistency of the grind they use. My grind looks pretty fine but has a bit of course sand or salt feel to it when felt between the fingertips. To give you an idea of my grind setting, when you look at the bottom of the grinding mechanism it looks like the ceramic burr is protruding from the bottom a bit more than 1/8 inc. That make a perfect grind for me.I also really like the non skid silicone base and the top which keeps bits form flying out as I furiously grind the last few beans. On minor nit is the size around the waist of the grinder. It seem to be the natural place for your one hand to hold it steady or to hold it against you ches

Well made, easy to use, solid investment
My husband did some pretty extensive research before we bought this coffee mill. He was tired of the electronic grinders always breaking within a year. He decided that manual was the way to go with less moving parts. I wasnt ready to let him buy an expensive one since it seemed silly to me, so he found this one which had great reviews and was at a decent price.We are so happy with it! It is amazing the difference between crushing of the beans in an electric grinder versus the grinding of the beans in this ceramic mill. We were not coffee connoisseurs before, but we are now. The coffee actually is noticeably much cleaner and smoother tasting.The grinding really doesnt take that much time. My husband makes it a weekly morning ritual. On Mondays, he spends about 5 minutes grinding enough for the whole week. Plus the container is really nice for storage.I recently switched to decaf and in looking for another storage container we found that a half pint mason jar fits on the grinder perfectly. This ma

Looks to be a counterfeit product
As others have stated, I also received what appears to be a counterfeit version of this product (sold by Quality Focus). Came in an unmarked box, product looked different than what was pictured (no ridges on glass bowl, no covers, while burr, smaller crank, etc), but came with a brush. Sent it back to Amazon for a full refund and ordered another, sold and fulfilled by Amazon, and have exactly what I expected for approximately the same price. Disappointed in Amazon for not addressing this issue, and a quick look at all of the other negative reviews will reiterate a similar experience and details.UPDATE:Ordered another one, sold and fulfilled by Amazon this time, and now have the legitimate product. Easy to set up and clean, and works great. Probably not the best solution for someone making large quantities, and a little more complicated if you change grind settings often, but for individual brews using the same grind setting, takes a minute or two and saves you hundreds from buying a good electric grinder.

Finally, I can be snooty about my coffee.
Ive gone for years using pre-ground beans to make my coffee. It works, but it doesnt work as well. The grounds get stale before you can use them and youve got a much more limited selection. Now that I have a coffee grinder at home I can use whatever beans I want, make fresh grounds for each cup, and scoff at people who use the pre-ground stuff, the way a coffee snob is supposed to. As if I actually give a d***.Now, the heres the down-low: the grounds come out consistently enough for my Aeropress and my non-expert tastes. Itll take a bit of testing to get the right burr setting/coarseness of grind. Note that the degree of coarseness will have a significant impact on how long it takes to grind the beans and the volume of the resultant powder. I fill up the hopper on the top to the brim, give it about 300-400 cranks (ballpark estimate - it takes a while), then get about half a jar full. Thatll make 4-6 cups for me.Other notes:* The threads on the jar and grinder fit the mason jar spec.* The rubber pad on the

A great ritual to start the morning with
The originAIM Grinder has been completely amazing. The burrs really create a uniform grind, and I have made the best cups of coffee I have ever had with it. The design, aesthetically, is very appealing. Though it does not go without its flaws. The cap to keep the beans from falling out is just a whole that slips through the grinding arm and on to the top. While this isnt much of a problem, it just seems a bit odd. The 2 biggest problems I have had with the grinder are, 1 the top screw to hold the fringing arm on tends to become loose and falls off from time to time. I find myself having to tighten the screw every now and then to keep in place. The 2nd thing is the fact that you need to unscrew the whole arm just to reach the adjustments for the size of the grind. Plus there are no instructions to tell you how to get the grinder to the size you need for the different brewing types. With a little experimentation, you can find the grind that best suits your brewing method. If youre not going to constantly change
