Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have not had a chance to actually use this item---will be grinding coffee beans soon though.I hope it actually works better than it's physical condition when I opened it.The grinding unit was only secured to the base by one screw, which left the base just hanging and flopping around.After trying to replace and tigthten the other screw (on the grind wheel side of course where it is hard to reach) it seems that the hole is stripped out and it will not tighten down.There were no instructions on which way to turn the adjusting screw for finer or coarser grinds.So far, all I can see is that it is a cute "coffee table" item.I almost wish I had opted for one of the electric grinders.
