    lol why would you not just link the product "for further details" instead of a giving a set of instructions on how to use the internet.

    • Link was given in… Go to Deal

    Got one. Needed one for my cold brew addiction :3

    • +1

      An automatic burr grinder is an absolute must for cold brew, given the quantity of beans required.
      Even the cheap ones work well enough.

      • I'm using 50g per batch, I'll be alright :D

          It'll take a fair while to do 50g with something like this…

        Been waiting for the Breville SGP to go on special. They are $299 now sigh

    • I wouldn't be using a cheap hand grinder for cold brew. You're going to get a MASSIVE size distribution. You'll get some horribly over extracted fines (essentially coffee powder) and nearly whole-bean sized chunks that don't extract at all.

      • Thanks. Cancelled the order.

    I was literally just out yesterday looking for a cheap grinder to use while my machine is in for repairs so this couldn't have come at a better time. It's interesting how popular the $15 grinders are at K-mart, I wonder if they have any other use…

      you can just use a pepper mill…

      • I also like the idea of a hand mill to take camping rather than pre-grinding. Plus my pepper mill would turn the coffee to dust.

      You meant the blade grinder ? wouldn't recommend it. it basically just cut up the beans instead of crushing it, giving a very inconsistent grind result.
      I also wouldn't recommend manual burr grinder like this unless you only make 1 serving of coffee everyday. it takes about a minute to grind medium grind using manual grinder for a serving. Might be ok for once in a while but really get into your nerve after a while.
      If you need a cheap grinder, i would recommend the bodum burr grinder. it's cheap, small, and produce consistent result.

        This is literally for a couple of weeks while my self grinding machine is fixed. I was baulking at the $40 machine at K-mart, I'm seriously turning my nose up at $100+ haha. Thanks for the tips though.

          literally for a couple of weeks

          you can also use a mortar and pestle

        • +1

          for a couple of weeks of everyday coffee, i would spend the $100+ instead. The manual grinder annoyed me after a week :D, but that's just me. of course you can be a little bit creative and attach your manual grinder to a drill to make a auto grinder :D. it still cause a bit of discomfort on the hand that holds the grinder but better than doing manual crank.

            @didit7: I don't mind a manual crank in the morning before work personally.

        • The $40 Kmart is a solid option. Been using it daily for my stovetop setup. Grinds plenty fine enough for that process. Only complaint is that it is seriously noisy.

    • I was thinking of getting a cheap manual grinder for grinding spices. There's no comparison between a freshly toasted and ground garam masala and storebought. At the moment I use a mortar and pestle, but it takes ages, doesn't give a very consistent grind, and even if you're careful bits of spice tend to fly out.

  • So it can’t be used as a pepper grinder?

  • +1

    I used to use a Hario mill and it took ages to grind even at medium coarseness. About 1 min using an electric screwdriver. Then got a crushgrind columbia and it's night and day. Manual espresso in about 15 seconds.

    • I do 20g in a porlex tall for filter in abuot 15-30 seconds depending on how energetic im feeling. All i could figure with the screwdriver is it's too fast, and the beans can't drop into the burrs?

  • Wouldn’t recommend a burr grinder this cheap, it’ll be hard/slow to use with pretty unsatisfying results (got one at home that’s basically the same model). Spring for a Porlex Mini if you want to keep things relatively inexpensive.

    Highly recommend the Timemore C2 grinder for someone looking for a quality burr grinder. It is fast enough to completely replace an automatic grinder for a fraction of the cost (and more reliable too)
