My handground just came and I wasted no time! Here are my unboxing photos and first impressions. Well made and solid. The design, which first interested me is very impressive up close. Good documentation and instructions. Super easy to use, and indeed, the French press setting was super consistent and made a very smooth first cup!
This is by far the absolute best hand grinder I have ever used. And I've owned ALL the "recommended by the pros" hand grinders....from Lido to Hario to Porlex. This produces a very consistent particulate size and very few fines. Perfectly stable burrs. Super clean cup. Plus the handle design is very easy to turn. Plus no outside air touches the beans or the grounds. The price? Dirt cheap.
Handground takes all the critical design aspects of a commercial quality grinder, and puts it into an affordable and simple package. Handground has become the exclusive hand grinder on our shelves, for great reason.
Handground has produced the best hand grinder I have worked with. Aesthetics are current and classy and the functionality is great with easy micro adjustments that actually work while adjusting your grind
Finished off my first pot. The flavor was so smooth and clean. I feel like it was the best and most correct grind I've ever done. Cranking action is so smooth and easy as well.
I was frustrated with the available hand grinders on the market up until I used this. The Handground is simple to use and delivers consistency on par with a great electric burr coffee grinder.
Yesterday, I received my new coffee grinder from Team Handground which I supported through Kickstarter. I am delighted. I was pleased with the packaging and the fit and finish of the grinder was excellent. I have run three batches through, two for French Press, settings 7.5 and 7, and one for espresso, setting 1. I was pleased that it was not difficult to crank, in spite of the fact that my right arm is extremely weak due to nerve damage. Obviously the espresso grind took longer, but was not harder. Compared to my cheap blade grinder the cup from the French press was notably cleaner, brighter, with much less sediment. It was really quite amazing. I will, of course, fine tune the grind, mass, and extraction time. I have considerable more study to do with the espresso machine; I am not yet a very good barista. Very, very well done.
For years I've wanted a portable grinder that was easy to use and consistent. I'm excited that Handground has delivered just that, and very beautifully.
