I will admit that I purchased these grinders for aesthetics. I love how they can have a tarnish look to them or you can buff/shine them.. I am happy with the price point and overall look.

I did not give it 5 stars because the grinder can not be set to grind beans fine enough for espresso. I bought this solely to grind espresso. I haven’t been using it because it won’t grind espresso, I’ll probably take it apart clean it and use for a pepper grinder

I paid £38 for this, delivery included, in September 2022. Three days from Ankara, via FedEx. Priced for the Western European market, no doubt, but I'm very happy with the price I paid and service I received from BinbirTrend06.Solidly built and smart-looking. The screw in the side seems to be a feature of this type of grinder and serves to hold the mechanism in place and also provides purchase when turning the handle.On receipt, I tightened the burrs down and then loosened them sufficiently that I felt the burrs were not touching. I haven't needed to adjust them since. (Edit: after 11 months the grind adjustment screw worked loose and dropped out. The threaded portion is less than an inch long. I have now screwed it all the way in, hand-tight, with little difference in the quality of the grind - perhaps a little finer). There was some 'catch' to begin with but this disappeared as the burrs were seasoned in use. The bean holder takes 20g of beans comfortably. If you happen to have an Aeropress funnel, this is the same diameter and is helpful when adding beans. I did some timings and found it took about 7 minutes to grind 20g. If you have a doesn't-do-Turkish grinder you can pregrind to the consistency of instant coffee granules (not too fine) to take a couple of minutes off. Grinding can be done with the cap on or off if you want to check on progress, as it can seem endless to begin with. There is some retention of grounds in the burrs but it's easy to knock these out into a container using the protruding spindle at the bottom. Hold the knob of the handle with some kind of low friction material to make grinding more comfortable. Remove the handle and turn the spindle by hand to check that grinding has been completed. There is a brassy smell given off when the grinder is held but it's not strong. It does transfer to the hands but once again it's not strong and easily rinsed off.I've used this daily for six months and I'm very happy with it. The two currently available reviews from the US are just worthless so I wanted to post this to redress the balance. At the time of purchase, I was new to Turkish coffee and I searched the web and Amazon in vain for reliable info on an affordable, effective grinder for Turkish coffee, having paid for three or four undrinkable packets of ground coffee from this site. One final search of Amazon and this popped up so I took a chance and I have no regrets.If you want good instruction on making Turkish coffee, I recommend the videos on YT by The Wired Gourmet and European Coffee Trip. A tip I haven't seen elsewhere: if you don't like the siltiness of the foam in your cup, give it a gentle but thorough tickle with the tip of a spoon or the tines of a fork (takes less than a minute). This dislodges most of the grounds but leaves a layer of foam, if that is important to you.Edit (Feb. 24): after 18 months of use, I noticed some retention of grounds on the inner mechanism and took to upending the grinder to remove these. On doing this, I found some flakes of metal mixed in with the grounds, suggesting that the burrs are being worn away. No flakes visible in the coffee used for brewing, though they are almost certainly there, albeit not visible to the naked eye. Personally, this does not bother me much as I'm too old to be concerned about yet another potential toxin but others may feel differently. The performance of the grinder is no doubt being affected, though it's not noticeable at this stage. So, I have dropped a star and begun the search for what will no doubt be a considerably more expensive replacement. Consult the r/Turkishcoffee subreddit for possible candidates. I don't regret the purchase: I've enjoyed using it and it convinced me that freshly-ground Turkish coffee was worth the effort.

Bought this as a decor piece for my kitchen. The size and build of the item is of great quality - decor wise. I haven’t used this item for its sole purpose so cannot speak on the functionality of it. However, if buying for decor purposes, then this is an affordable piece.

the bottom container does not fit very well. I would have preferred it to screw in rather than just being pushed in.
