Zassenhaus Santiago Mahogany Coffee Mill/Grinder, Beech

Really like this coffee grinder. I use with various different machines filter/espresso/stovetop/aeropress/chemex. Bought mainly to fine grind fresh beans for an espresso machine. For the espresso grind i usually turn screw fully the back off half a turn. The grind seems consistent and i get decent espresso from it. Sometimes i have to adjust this, not due to the grinder but the beans - very fresh beans seem to need a slightly coarser grind as they just do not go through the machine well (morphy richards accent). I suppose this is the one downside of the grinder as there are no actual settings, literally have to dial it in - only really an issue with espresso imo, but you soon get the knack.The grinder is pretty compact and fits comfortably as designed between the legs. I actually find it awkward to grind holding on a worktop. A full hopper ~20g grinds in around 70 turns and can be done pretty quick if you go at it. Normally i just grind what i need, 7g single espresso 14g double. The mechanism all seems really solid and i think a lifetime guarantee on it, no problems so far but i would like to clean it but there is no apparent easy way to do this and i think i may have to disassemble the whole box to get at the burrs so haven't done yet. On a side note i did also purchase a vintage zassenhaus off ebay and although it can't grind well enough for the espresso machine, its fine for filter/chemex/aeropress and it's at least 60 years old, so i imagine this grinder should last a little while yet.

Smart addition to the kitchen and great flavoured coffee

Sadly broken internal mechanics after six months ...a plastic bit fell off and now grinding coffee gets very messy ....

Best grinder I have ever had.Looks superb, works superb

It was broken, the handle on the drawer was broken.

Gorgeous and works great!

Thank you

It is difficult to keep the unit stable as it must be held during use.It requires a towel or glove to keep it from moving.

Eine wirklich tolle Mühle. Wir nutzen Sie jeden Tag für eine Frech Press. Die Bohnen werden gut gemahlen und der Hebel kann gut gedreht werden. Die Kaffemühle ist den Preis aufjedenfall wert.

El utensilio que andaba buscando. No puedo opinar sobre el resultado de su uso porque todavía no lo hemos utilizado. Por su aspecto y terminación, ya vale la pena tenerlo.

Not good for Turkish coffee as claimed

Sehr gute Kaffeemühle inklusive Mahlwerk
