Customers are mixed about the durability of the coffee grinder.

How Do You Have Coffee When the Power is Out?
This little grinder works like a dream. It does take some elbow grease but you'll have two cups' worth of ground coffee in no time. It was an absolute life saver in the aftermath of Hurricane Beryl when our lights were out for four days. I ground coffee for our use as well as our neighbors. I would not hesitate to buy this little wonder again.

5.0 out of 5 stars Do yourself a favor and forget the electric grinders...
Reviewed in the United States on June 4, 2013

UPDATE 1/4/17: After two years of so, this grinder is still holding up like a champ! I'm actually using it a lot more because I'm using this to grind my cold brew. Because cold brews use more coffee beans, this grinder is getting more exercise every week!

Why spend over $200-$300 on a burr grinder to grind coffee for yourself when you can get nearly the same results with this $33 Hario manual coffee grinder? Personally, I don't really know but if you had the money, I guess you really wouldn't care in the first place. If you are looking for one of the cheapest yet best way to grind your coffee beans each morning, look no further than the Hario MSS-1B Mini Mill. The results you'd get with this manual grinder can rival that of machines that costs double to triple the amount of this utility and in some cases, I am willing to bet those machines will lose in a grind off competition (results of grind, not speed).

Pros:

- This is perfect for those one to two cuppers like myself. I actually wanted to get a cheap electronic grinder and there are even some that are cheaper than this manual grinder! However, I think it was ridiculous to get one just for myself since no one else needs it.

- A burr grinder like this beats a blade grinder. From my knowledge, a blade grinder simply just "chops/hacks" up your coffee beans into tiny pieces. The results you'd get by using this method might not be consistent every time. A burr grinder on the other hand does not simply chop but actually "crushes" your beans. You'd get a much more consistent result. Also, because this manual grinder is powered by your hands and not an electric motor, there is less heat generated when you crush the beans. The hotter it gets when you crush/chop the beans actually decreases the quality of your cup of coffee.

- This grinder is not hard at all to grind. Please do not listen to the user reviews that claim this grinder is slow at grinding. I believe I can get a cup's worth of grinds in less than a minute or so and I didn't have to turn on super saiyan mode to do it. Although of course, the finer your grind, the more time will be needed. What I found odd was that your hand that actually cranks the handle round and round does not get tired. Instead, the hand that you hold the grinder actually gets tired! This is because you'd have to grip the grinder pretty tight in order for it not to wobble when you turn the handle. To be exact, it's your forearm that gets tired. So if you are right handed like me, then you would most likely hold the grinder with your left hand and it is your left forearm that would get tired. The fact that it has a cover helps a whole lot. I find it easier to slightly tilt the grinder while cranking away and the cover prevents the beans from flying out. While you can grind from a straight position and from a flat surface, I find that it's much harder to do it this way.

- Switching between grind levels is extremely easy as you simply hold the center of the handle with your thumb and twist the nut at the bottom of the grinder either left or right. To grind fine, you'd turn it right. For a coarse grind, you'd go left. Once you find the right combination for your drip and espresso, you'd just have to remember how many "clicks" you'd have to go for each one starting from the tightest position (rightmost position). For example, I use three clicks for my espresso grind. For my french press, I use 9 clicks. All I have to remember is which position I last set the grinder to. If its espresso, then I'd obviously just twist it to the left for 6 clicks (3+6=9) for my french press. To go back to an espresso grind, I'd twist it to the right for 6 clicks (9-6=3). It's that simple.

- The grind consistency you'd get from this grinder is very, very good. When it comes to espresso grinds, I am extremely pleased with this device. At 3 clicks, the grind is almost to a powder level and very fluffy in consistency. I can't imagine how the grinds will look like at just 1 click! Since everyone treats their coffee beans differently, you'd obviously have to play around with the settings a bit to get what you'd want. If you want absolutely control over your grinds, this is perfect for you perfectionists out there.

- Due to its small form factor, you can bring this with you wherever you go and still be able to enjoy fresh coffee every morning! Also, the noise level is at an extreme minimum. You can safely grind coffee in the morning without your neighbors thinking world war III just started.

Cons:

- The only con I can think of is the clean up process. While it's not extremely hard to do, it can be a hassle. The good news is that you can take this grinder completely apart. Each part is washable. For a good heads up video, simply search on Youtube for "Hario Mini Mill" and there is an awesome instructional video by Hario themselves showing you how to take apart as well as putting the unit back together piece by piece. The ceramic burr is a bit harder to clean because coffee grinds just cling to it, especially if you do a fine grind. Therefore, a simple "rinse" under the water isn't going to help at all. You'd need to actually soak it in hot water with some mild detergent to remove it. All the other parts you can easily rinse with water to clean if you wish. Personally, I'm not diligent enough to take apart this grinder for a wash after each grind. I'd probably do it each week or so.

As you can see, the amount of pro's clearly outweigh the con's. As long as this device holds up and doesn't break, I'd be a very happy guy. As long as you understand the audience this coffee grinder is meant for and if you find yourself fitting in that audience, you should come away satisfied as well.

5.0 out of 5 stars Hario mini-burr grinder is perfect for travelling, camping, and backpacking.
Reviewed in the United States on August 19, 2016
Pattern Name: Single ItemVerified Purchase
When I was getting ready to leave on a three week cross-country camping road trip with my wife, I suddenly had a thought: "Coffee! How will I grind my coffee beans?!" Friends had recommended a Hario grinder when I was shopping for an inexpensive burr grinder, so I ordered one for my road trip (along with an  Aeropress Coffee and Espresso Maker ; see separate review). It showed up just in time to get on the road, and worked great the entire trip.

Hario also makes a larger, glass-jar manual grinder, but I was travelling and wanted something as small and durable and light as possible. This is the one! The plastic jar fits just right into my hand and I wasn't worried about it shattering.

The first thing to know is that this only holds about 20-25g of beans and it takes a bit to get it ground. That was perfect for my purposes, as that's just how much I wanted to grind for the AeroPress for my morning wake-up double-double or for two smaller cups of evening decaf for me and my wife. So, how long does it take? It takes a couple of minutes. Now, that is either an eternity if you are used to pushing a button and you want your coffee NOW, or it is the perfect amount of time to gaze across the sunrise over Yellowstone, while you wait for your water to boil on the camp stove. Relax. Get into the flow. Meditate on the steam rising from the geyser and the bison walking past your campsite. This is a modern-day Tibetan prayer wheel. Your water will boil when it boils. The coffee will be ground when it is ground. Savor the smell of freshly ground coffee wafting up as you turn the crank.

This is a real ceramic burr grinder, and it does an amazing job of grinding cleanly and even-sized. If you set it to one of the coarser settings, it will not be as consistent, but at fine settings it is perfect. 5 clicks back from the finest, fully closed setting, yields a grind that is fine enough for espresso in the AeroPress but doesn't take all day to grind.

Will it grind directly into the AeroPress? Well, yes and no. If you are heading out into the mountains and you want to save every gram of weight that you can, then yes. You can leave the plastic base at home and grind directly into the AeroPress. The downside is that doing that is a bit unwieldy, and you have to hold the two pieces together, thereby losing the meditative quality of the Hario Ceramic Burr Grinder Coffee Mill and Prayer Wheel technology. The plastic base doesn't weigh much. Just pack it. Your serenity is worth the extra few grams.

The handle pops on and off with some sort of magic that I was unable to fathom. Want it off? It just lifts off. Want to grind your coffee and not have the handle fall off while grinding? It stays on effortlessly. Like the fabled thermos jug that keeps cold things cold and hot things hot, we are force to ask, "How does it know?!" The engineering on both the lid and the handle (okay, the rest of the grinder too) is perfect. It is a pleasure to use a well-designed and well-manufactured product.

One last thing to know. It does not come with a carrying bag. You can fit the handle into the $2 tote bag that comes with the  Aerobie AeroPress Coffee Maker with Tote Bag , but the Hario Grinder is just a bit too large to fit in there. Maybe if you left the Hario base at home and left the Aeropress filter storage and funnel and stirrer and scoop at home you might be able to squeeze it in. I didn't try. I just found an old neoprene drawstring bag the right size and used that. But, if you want a single bag to carry everything (along with your mug and some beans and a dish towel), you might try  Eagle Creek Pack-It Half Tube Cube - Slim , which Pete Hodgeson says on his blurgh is the perfect size. He also suggests the  Able Brewing Grip / Travel Cap for AeroPress Coffee & Espresso Maker . I'll have to buy one of those.

I just wanted a good, reliable and well-reviewed hand grinder for those power-free moments we sometimes experience. And the price was great!

This turned out to be a great quality of grind, and fairly easy to crank. If I want a nicer grind than my electric grinder, and only need one cup or two, say for aeropress, this is my first choice.

This is a great coffee grinder if you're patient enough and not fussed about manually grinding your beans (harder than it seems). Would personally go with an electric burr grinder next time as manually grinding gets tedious when you're having coffee twice daily.
