Title: Not better than a blade grinder
Product review: I've used this grinder for a few months, on loan from a friend.While it does grind coffee beans, it's loud and the grind quality is very inconsistent. Decent enough for drip coffee, but I get lots of sludge in a french press.I ground 35 grams of beans on the drip setting (middle of the selection range). I sifted the ground beans through a fine mesh screen which only allows powder to go through. From 35 grams, 15 grams were pulverized to a fine powder (which causes overextraction of bitterness, etc). From the remaining 20 grams, I estimate that 5 grams were larger-than-desired chunks (which cause underextraction). This means that only 15 out of 35 grams were in the size range desired.The grinder also clogs frequently.Either spend more money to get a better burr grinder for french press or spend less and get a blade grinder (e.g. Bodum C-mill for $20) which will give you the same (or better) grind quality for drip coffee.
