Advantage of Freshly Ground Spices There are many benefits to freshly grinding pepper, salt, herbs and spices for cooking and seasoning. A quality mill with a specifically designed grinding mechanism will release the aromas and essential oils of that spice. Freshly ground pepper and spices have more aroma and better flavor than pre- ground. Another advantage of using freshly ground spices or minerals (salts) is the control a mill provides for determining the coarseness (size) of a grind. A hi...

More Coffeeness In My CupYears ago I bought a cheap, $20, hand-cranked coffee grinder because I heard freshly ground coffee was the best, and those electric whizzing blade grinders (choppers really) heated the beans and left you with a non-uniform grind that made for inconsistent results.
The mechanism of that ridiculous and flimsy contraption would always unscrew as I used it, causing a loss of the grind setting, and sometimes the handle would fall off. Moreover, it took gorilla arms to operate as it often got stuck, as if a rock was mixed in the beans. I soldiered on for a few months but eventually I threw it out and went back to the grocery store grinder.
A year ago I tried that cheap Black and Decker burr grinder (again $20, at Target) but it was noisy (like a DustBuster) and produced inconsistent results (a mixture of powder and chunks) for my drip coffee maker.
Then I saw this Peugeot while traveling but I couldn't carry it with me so I bought it here cause I couldn't...

Having a few problemsI was very excited about this coffee mill when I bought it, but over time, I've encountered a few disappointments. First, I noticed that every day, a couple of beans get themselves wedged behind the support frame. A minor nuisance. Second, the mechanism you use to adjust the size of the grind 'locked' itself into the super fine grind position. This now happens quite regularly. I have to get a wrench to unscrew it, as it is too tight to turn with my fingers. Lastly, I've noted lately that the color is bleeding onto the countertop. I have the black version of this mill, and whenever it encounters water on the counter, it bleeds. I would also agree with another reviewer that the size and shape of the drawer is awkward when dumping the grounds into a round French press. Having said all of that, it makes fabulous coffee!

Great grind and good-lookingI bought the Bresil to replace an inexpensive burr grinder. The Bresil produces a far more uniform grind and it can grind more finely, all while freeing up an outlet. The Bresil is also quieter and because it is 'wireless' I can grind anywhere I please. Because it is attractive I can also keep it where I please. The weakness in this grinder, at least for me, is the size and shape of the drawer that receives the ground coffee. It holds only enough for a couple double shots and its low box shape means I need to dump the coffee into another container. This can be done more neatly with the Bresil than with my old electric burr grinder, though, because the grind is not statically charged.
