ZassenhausM040128 Coffee Mill, Brown

Very nice!!! Everything is just nicely made. I was quite impressed the moment I unboxed this coffee mill, the actual product looks even better than the photo. It is great not only for grinding beans, but can also be an elegant kitchen decor. The grinding is very easy (with also a broad rang​e of coarseness to adjust) and the cleaning can simply be done with a paint/coffee brush. For me, it is definitely worth the extra bucks for this kind of quality.

Nice looking, well built piece of nostalgia. And it works very well also !!! Even grind with no drama or worries about heat. Easy , stable adjustment of grind.

Somebody packaged this with just one piece of kraft paper in the Amazon box. Of course, my item got damaged. The wood got chipped. The connection between the bean container to the collecting drawer feels really flimsy.

Great buy, I couldn’t be happier

I decided to make the switch to grinding my own coffee. This brand has a sterling reputation, excellent warranty and looks really good sitting on the counter of my period home. This morning after haveing used the last of my Yuban, I made a cup with some fresh roasted beans. I like a coarse grind on my coffee which this produced, but.......it took me 10 minutes to grind 3 tablespoons of beans. The beans do not feed into the grinder. Since it is a manual grinder I had no fears about sticking my finger in to force the beans into the burr. But I had to do it continually. Shaking, tapping, banging it on the counter did squat. Nope, about every 5 seconds I had to stick my finger in and shuffle things around to get the thing to finish the job. Unless the manufacture contacts me with a solution I will be returning it for something that actually will do the job. It's a shame 'cuz it really is purdy......

I’ve had this one for 4 years and moved from Germany to Colorado, again to a new place in Colorado and finally to Virginia. It still works perfectly. It’s able to adjust to grind the fines I’ve ever see to course that’s perfect for a French press. It’s expensive but the quality is there.

Have used my Zassenhaus 169 for years, almost daily. If the beans are freshly roasted and deluxe, you can sense the difference as the grind can be adjusted for "feel" with the beans you are using.Have had 3 Peugeot grinders which fell apart before discovering this Zassenhaus model. It's worth it doubly since you can grind beans during a power outage. Maine had one for 5 days after a severe storm.

I really like the look of this mill, read all the reviews and finally made up my mind to purchase it since it’s not cheap and coffee is not a must for me. However when I got it, the box is a little damaged and when I open it and noticed the burr is actually defective, then I contacted Amazon to get a replacement. It took longer than usual because of this special time period and when I open the new one, the box is good this time but the burr is in the same condition.... I posted photos I took from both mills. I’m not an expert of this but I’m also not convinced this should be expected.I still gave it a 3 because I do like the look of this mill
