9" Handmade Manual Brass Coffee Mill Grinder Sozen, Portable Stainless Steel Conical Burr Coffee Mill, Portable Hand Crank Coffee Grinder, Turkish Coffee Grinder, Sozen Coffee Grinder

Coffee is a major love of my life. I have been trying to improve my Turkish coffee game in particular over the last few years. Initially I purchased a lovely, ornate traditional coffee grinder but quickly found it wasn’t able to do the job I needed it for. I hadn’t researched well before that purchase. Have been using a Hario Skerton since then but have suspected that I was still missing something. I want to be clear that the Hario Skerton is a fine manual grinder and well worth its price but the Turkish coffee grind is extremely fine and not what it was specifically designed for. Eventually I saw a discussion of the Sözen grinder on Reddit and became interested. It seems they have a long history of producing high quality grinders specifically for Turkish coffee. The grinder is very reasonably priced so I decided to give it a try. I have been delighted with what I received! Initially I ground a couple of tablespoons of raw rice with it to clean the grinder as per the instructions. Grinding white rice is a lot of work! After this was completed I began grinding a few grams of coffee beans at a time to dial in the grind I was looking for. The instructions a very clear about how to adjust the grinder and it only took a few adjustments to produce the finest, most powdery coffee I’ve ever been able to. This my friends, is a superior product! When I read reviews of manual grinders a major complaint seems to be that they are difficult to use. If this is a big deal for you then you are in the market for an electric grinder. Grinding beans by hand does require a bit of work. It goes with the territory. I found I was able to grind a full hopper of beans in just under three minutes. For me this is excellent and makes enough coffee for several cups. All in all the Sözen grinder is a fine product. It’s beautiful, well made from primarily brass and produces a very fine grind!

Gut zum Festhalten, das Mahlen von zerkleinerten Zimtstangen oder Bockshornkleesamen sind kein Problem. Die Kurbel könnte hochwertiger sein.

Exactly as I thought it would be.

The media could not be loaded.  I will say that this grinder is pretty great for the price! Very easy to use, portable, well designed (except for one issue below) and nice quality parts.Some things to be aware of:All body parts are made of brass. It will rust if wet (as the directions mention).The internal grinding burrs seem to be made of something other than stainless steel, and exhibited a bit of rust when it arrived.The instructions say to run white rice through the grinder to clean it, which I did. This did not remove all the rust (as expected) but I assume cleaned it as best as it could.I would recommend this step because grinding rice is a lot harder than grinding coffee beans, and it will teach you to appreciate the process.The grind adjustment is easy, somewhat primitive (it's just a screw with a lock nut, will loosen over time, as it already has after a few runs, or you can tighten it very hard).The grinds are fairly uniform and can go all the way to powder (super fine) or very coarse. You might not find another grinder in this price range that can hit such a fine and coarse grind all in one.I think the only complaint I have is that it seems the internal parts are not removable. You cannot take the grinder apart to clean the rust or burrs so easily without destroying the body. I hope they make an amendment to this design so people could have the option to clean or replace the burrs.I would give it 5 stars if it wasn't for the inability to take it apart all the way. It's a nice little grinder, works well, and well worth the price, I think.It also comes with a 3/8" square top, which you can easily fit a 3/8" drill adapter on and use a cordless hand drill to grind 👍😄Recommended!

This is a very nice looking but grinder. I grind my beans very fine and use in a very small-screen press. It takes me less than two minutes to grind the whole hopper, and that makes a 1 qt press. For me, hand grinding lends enjoyment and appreciation to the process, but if you're not into that, you can grab a small rechargeable drill with a 12 point socket and grind 'em up that way.
