Normcore Manual Coffee Grinder V2 - Hand Coffee Grinder with Stainless Steel 38mm Contemporary Conical Burr - Adjustable Settings - For Aeropress, Espresso, Pour over, French Press

This is such a great grinder. For the price, which is at the lowest end of acceptable manual grinders, it is a very good grinder. It feels very pleasant to grind, it grinds quickly, and it is easy to use. It is very solid, its previous version had a little issue with the top cover which is now fixed, and the rubber grip ring can slide up or down so its easy to hold on to however you hold it. My only two gripes about this grinder which is most likely also the case for a lot of other grinders as well, is that the stainless threading on the grind catcher doesnt offer any sort of resistance, what that means is even though the threading is very nice, it can come unscrewed just as easily as it can be screwed on. To some people this might even be a benefit, but to me when I am grinding, my palm can unscrew the catch if im not careful. It has never come off all the way but with a simple little silicone or rubber ring at the top of the threading it would prevent that. The other slight issue I have is the wooden grip on the handle does not rotate easily. You can choose to either grip the wood hard while grinding to force it to rotate, or you can grip the wood very soft and allow the wood to spin in your palm while grinding, but there is no in between, if you grip the wood medium and try to grind it will just pull on your skin and kindof hurt. Like a N64 controller while playing mario party. These 2 minor gripes aside, this grinder is incredible for the money. Obviously if you are SUPER into coffee and want to spend more money you could get better results or a larger capacity grinder going with a 200$+ 1zpresso grinder or something but honestly this one still is comparable to those at less than half the price.

This grinder is the absolute best you can possibly buy in this price point. It’s high quality, feels solid in the hand and in grinding, can grind so fine it’ll clog your filter, and over the past year or so I’ve been making espresso and pour overs every day through this grinder and it’s absolutely phenomenal. Even compared to a previous still same priced electric coffee grinder made by Hamilton beach (as you could probably guess) which was not very consistent and produced many fines. It’s been outputting the same quality and consistency since the day it arrived at my doorstep and I’ve put hundreds of dollars worth of coffee through this thing I truly think for the price it cannot be any better. It makes the output of even my off brand cheap espresso machine worlds better after properly tuning. If you’re on a budget but want to get more serious with the process of making coffee, this is an amazing purchase.

Model: 38mm stainless V2 Black It feels premium to use and hold. Very hefty. The quality of grinding is amazing for the price. Consistent results. And the grind is quick and efficient. Relatively easy to hold with the silicone grip. I do have one criticism which I haven't seem anybody mention. Coffee sits on the rim of the basket and inside the threads after every use, requiring me to brush it clean (brush included) over the trash or the sink after every single use. Very annoying. It's an extra 90 seconds at least to clean the thing and the counter every morning. Last nitpick, the basket slightly unscrews very easily while grinding.

I've used the Normcore grinder (38mm) daily for 2 years. I'm very satisfied. I use the grinder with a manual Cafelat espresso press, so I am always very aware of the grind fineness and quality. The grind is definitely fine enough for espresso and even finer (would be fine enough for Turkish powder methods). The grind quality seems very good, with visually uniform particle size. Be aware that every bag of coffee might require a slightly different setting, so after the first shot from a new bag, I might need to adjust by one click, but this is the case with every grinder (the adjustment can change with humidty, phase of the moon, etc.). The Normcore grinder has precise enough clicks for these small adjustments. When first using, out-of-the-box, you must find the "zero" point on the fineness adjustment (as with most grinders). Just keep clicking finer and finer until the handle does not spin freely - and that's the zero point. It would be nice if the fineness scale was numbered, but I was able to "dial in" my espressso grind with just a few uses, and for the past 2 years, I've been using thosee single-click adjusments I mentioned before. A really nice and affordable grinder.

This is exactly what I was looking for! I am an airline pilot and we live on coffee. Nothing keeps my freight crew happier than really good coffee in the middle of the night and this little grinder really helps with that. Pros: >It is very compact and takes up a lot less space than my last grinder (I don't carry it in the case, just stuff it in a clean sock). >It grinds very uniformly, and the click adjustment is really good for dialing in your perfect grind (the instruction recommended settings are rubbish though). >It grinds FAST with much less effort than my previous grinder. >The hopper at the bottom holds ~24g of grounds. Perfect or two cups in my Aeropress Cons: >A bit heavy, but it's machined metal, so I'm OK with that. >The grind chamber won't hold 24g of whole bean, so you just have to add them in two batches. Again, a minor quibble. It's a compact little beastie. >Static Electricity! That was troublesome until I learned the trick of stirring the whole bean with a damp finger for a few seconds. It sounds weird but the internet said it worked and the internet was right. That little bit of moisture negates the static from grinding. All in all I am extremely happy with this little powerhouse. The quality of workmanship and the consistency of the grind are fantastic. It is compact and does all I hoped for. Hopefully it will keep up it's performance in the long haul, but so far I am very impressed.

Brinda una gran estabilidad, y buena consistencia de molienda; excelente para pour-over y aeropress. Se siente como un producto bien diseñado, y hecho con materiales de calidad, para el precio verdaderamente es de lo mejor que hay. La brocha y la perilla son súper prácticas para mantenerlo limpio siempre

Purchased this grinder as my 2 year old Porlex mini’s bur has broken inside. This feels like a big upgrade I. Terms quality of materials, ease of use and overall grind consistency. I use this only for pour over grind setting and it takes more than 20 clicks for me. Highly recommended for the price and value you get.

J’aime la qualité du produit, il es solide facile à manipuler et moût mes grains à la grosseur demander et proprement! Facile à transporter en voyage!

Più che buona gestione dello spessore di macinazione. Facilissimo da smontare e rimontare per pulire ad ogni cambio caffè. Esticamente davvero molto carino. Ottimo feel la tatto e all'uso. VELOCISSIMO!!!!!!!!! Più che veloce, davvero stupefatto dalla rapidità con cui si macina. Ovvio, sono 100 non 300 come altri, quindi tutto va proporzionato.

high quality, with good price.
