Bottom Line: The new Zassenhaus mills are still nice to look at and fun to use, but they're useless for making good coffee.

Product Reviewed: Zassenhaus Box Mill
Bottom Line: It is simple and rugged. It produces a good grind for espresso, but does not produce an even coarse grind.

Bottom Line: Save your money and buy a cheap electric. When this grinder breaks, there is zero customer support.

Bottom Line: High-quality; cheaper than many electrics, will outlast any electric. Don‘t overlook just because it‘s a manual! The "work" involved is overstated.
