Is it good for espresso?

Not really. Ceramic hand burrs at this size struggle to hold the fine, even grind espresso needs. It suits drip, pour-over and French press better.

How much coffee does it hold?

The hopper takes enough beans for about 2 to 3 servings per fill, so it is a small-batch grinder.

Do I need to clean it after every use?

Yes. Bean oils build up on the burrs and bowl and turn rancid, so brush it out after each grind.

How does it compare with an electric burr grinder?

It is quieter, cordless and takes less counter space, but slower and less consistent. An electric burr grinder is the better pick for daily large batches.

The grinder itself. No scoop or brush is listed, so plan on a small brush for cleaning.

Our take on the Vintage Wooden Manual Coffee Grinder

A hand-cranked coffee grinder in red-toned wood with a cast-iron bowl, ceramic burrs and a small pull-out drawer that catches the grounds. It grinds enough for 2 to 3 servings per fill and stands about 17 cm tall on a square wooden base with non-slip pads. It suits people who want a quiet, cordless grind for pour-over or French press and don't mind turning a crank. Against electric burr grinders it is slower and less consistent, and against steel-burr hand grinders ceramic burrs are more brittle, but the wooden body and drawer are simpler and quieter than most rivals.
