I’ve been using the Agaro coffee grinder for a few weeks now, and it has completely elevated my coffee experience. The build quality feels sturdy, and the design is compact enough to fit easily on my kitchen counter. Grinding is smooth and consistent, whether for espresso, French press, or pour-over, and it brings out a rich aroma every time. What I especially like is how easy it is to clean and operate, even for daily use.

Maybe you saw a couple of videos of people buying whole roasted coffee beans and grinding them with one of these and since you're getting into the hobby of brewing your coffee in this way, you also saw that these manual hand grinders cost a pretty penny. So you scrolled and decided to find something cheaper and you landed on this product. If your goal is to occassionally grind beans and brew coffee and you're just trying out this lifestyle for the first time, this IS the manual grinder to buy. It doesn't cost a lot, it does it's job more or less and uses parts decent enough for the price it commands. Here are some pros and cons- • Budget friendly (under Rs 1200) • Build quality for the price is impressive • Has basic settings for grind sizes that'll allow you to make a decent Espresso (at grind size 1) as well as a cold brew (grind size 6) and everything in between. • As long as it's clean and well maintained, grind size and quality will be consistent for the most part Cons- • Contains a ceramic burr that needs some manual effort and strain to grind a full batch (expensive grinders have surgical quality stainless steel burr that does a better job within 30 sec) • the collector glass can get loose and fall off depending on how you hold the grinder so be careful • People say lack of finer settings for grind size will make all the difference the way the coffee tastes and feels but I'm too novice to comment and for a casual drinker, you shouldn't bother either. Pro tip: Just spray a small mist of water on your beans before grinding them so you'll avoid static electricity build up and the coffee powder doesn't stick inside and the yield quality and quantity is better. For cleaning, take a pair of pliers and unscrew the nut on which the lever sits, remove the burr and immerse it in baking soda immersed hot water. And then use a brush to gently clean the burr and the inner cavity to remove as much as residual powder as possible. This maintenance once a month depending on your usage is necessary to maintain quality of the grind. Most people starting their coffee brewing journey will be happy with what this product has to offer and when you don't want to do this anymore, you'll rest easy because you didn't pay a huge amount.

Using it from a year now and it is working perfectly so far. Good product for grinding roasted coffee beans.

It's amazing. Does it's work beautifully

Amazing product. Really happy with the grind size. Although I am having to use grind size 3 for my delonghi espresso machine though.

Complete waste of money. The grind adjustment stopped working in less than a month, which makes the grinder almost useless. The build quality is very disappointing. Save your money and buy an electric grinder instead.

I'm just beginning to enjoy freshly brewed coffee and I graduated to using this over from a mixie. The change in taste is a little better so maybe yeah grinding affects aroma and taste and efficacy of the brew. Have made cold brewed coffee many times with this. I use setting 4-5 for cold brews and it has worked good. But what I've noticed is that sometimes bigger Arabica beans get stuck and also the screw of the handle came off once. And the main problem I'm seeing is that grind setting doesn't grind consistently according to size. If I'm at 4-5 it will still powder the beans a bit. So I get fine powder along with bigger grinds which is not what I want. I end up using coffee filter paper when filtering the extract from my French press makes the process a little tedious, which it wouldn't have been if I had gotten only bigger grinds if the grind worked well. At size 1-2 it does grind the beans nicely powdery. Haven't used setting 6 much because although when I tried it, the ground coffee size is very inconsistent - from large chunks to powder there's everything in between. Not useful.

I’m happy. It’s the best I could find at this price. I am only now getting into coffee and wanted to experiment without burning a hole in my pocket. I have only used it for pourovers though, but it works well. PROS 1. It is sturdy enough for the price. I will note that the handle top (the wood like cap) came loose in a few weeks, but a simple screwdriver fixed the issue. The product worked fine, even when the top came loose, it was just an irritant. 2. Taste- I’m not an expert, but the puri over coffee is definitely better than even the expensive instant brands (sleepy owl, etc) that I started with. It’s as good as the black coffee I get in most cafes 3. It has a solid look and feel to it, including the steel body and the hardened glass bottom. 4. Again not an expert but the ‘for pour over’ ground coffee looks even, and there’s zero sediment in my cup CONS 1. The small brown cup like part came loose after a few weeks, or it was easily fixed 2. I only have the patience to get 2 cups out of it - remember it’s manual you need hand action. Probably a more expensive brand will require less effort to make the same coffee, but this suits my needs real fine
