Hario Ceramic Coffee Mill Skerton

Just got my hands on my new grinder. I found the post on Gimme's site to be my deciding factor. I've gone hand powered baby! The funny thing was is that the electric grinder Gimme uses as the Skerton's rival is the exact one I have. The outcome pushed me over the edge. I'm happy to report that UPS delivered it to me just about 2 hrs ago. I've already ground its madden voyage and have brewed it in my Ikea French Press. My official report is WOW! I must admit that the flavor is much more subtile and not as overwhelming as with the electric grind. I like the action of hand grinding and knowing that its one more of my activities that's become "off-the-grid". The unit is completely washable and adjustable. By screwing or unscrewing the top adjustment nut it drops or pulls in the ceramic grinding wheel, thus varying the course of the grind. A few more grinds and I think I'll have it. The only down fall to this purchase was the all Japanese instruction manual. But it was nothing a little internet searching couldn't fix. I recommend this product. Get grinding NOW!
