Customer Reviews, including Product Star Ratings help customers to learn more about the product and decide whether it is the right product for them.
To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. It also analyzed reviews to verify trustworthiness.

This is a small coffee grinder. You can grind about 1 cup of coffee beans at a time. Due to the size it does not take up space. Cute. Works well for a medium grind. Fairly easy to clean.
The craftmanship appears to be beyond amazing, especially considering the low price.
However. I was not able to try it's function because upon unpacking it was clear that it is way too small. The coffee drawer has the size that is a bit bigger than a matchbox. So the ground coffee will be at best only a serve single cup of coffee's worth.
Great little item, but far too small for our intended use.
However, due to it's beautiful design and fantastic finish, it could make a beautiful kitchen decoration as well.
it works great except it's hard to hold onto because it is so tiny plus it takes about 25 minutes to grind enough for one cup of coffee, plus during that grind it slips out of my hand so many time it spills more than it grinds. I had to go back to the blender. it would be perfect if it were about three times that size. it is petty though.
I hate the sound of electric grinders so I thought I would try this. I am in love! It's easy to use, grinds perfectly, and it's adorable on my counter.
I purchased for decoration only , pictures can be deceiving in size so read the dimensions .. fits perfect in the space I have .. Quality is good if I needed to grind coffee .

This grinder is perfect for us. I use it every morning to make fresh ground coffee. Cleans up easy and takes some experimenting to fine your perfect grind.
its a cute lil thing, but yes, very small. good for a single person who's using a resuable k-cup.
on the other hand, mine is now garbage. took it apart to clean it, and it is basically impossible to put back together. you can't remove the actual grinder to clean it. seems like they built the box around the grinder. not even a good decoration anymore cause my fingers aint long enough to fit in the drawer to hold the gasket in place to screw it all back together. garbage.
