I got this to grind coffee beans at the office with minimal noise.
I find it’s very quiet as long as there is some ambient sound. I also find that it doesn’t take much to grind enough for 2 espresso shots. Usually I’m done grinding by the time my water is done boiling (I’m making espresso in a Nanopresso) ~ 28 grams.
This is my first hand grinder and I’ve had cheap electric ones before. I didn’t know a grinder could provide such a consistent grind size.
I’m grinding for espresso. I started off at around 1.5 rotations and felt this was too fine. I’ve increased it to 1.7. This is finer than the grounds I was getting specifically for espresso. I plan on trying a bit coarser.
I’m really impressed with how precise you can adjust it. I’m just beginning down this path but feel I can really get it just right with this grinder.
