Brillante

This coffee grinder from Brillante is really nice. It’s made of stainless steel so it’s a great high quality grinder. It’s well made and will not break on you. It’s really easy to use simply open the top and put your coffee in, attach the handle and turn to grind. You can see through the clear window how much coffee you have and then open up the bottom to remove the ground coffee. The handle turns really easy which makes grinding your coffee easy and seamless. The coffee comes out ground evenly. I was really impressed with this one being a manual grinder but it actually does a great job of grinding the coffee very finely. If it’s not fine enough you can also pour it back in the top and regrind it a second time, but we were happy with the first round.

Here is some additional information from the company:

CAN I ADJUST THE GRIND SIZE? – Yes, the grinder adjusts quickly and easily to grind for multiple brewing methods such as: espresso, pour over, french press/plunger, percolator or Turkish.

HOW FAST DOES IT GRIND? – That depends on the person grinding (of course!) however you can expect to grind about 38 grams of coffee to pour over level fineness in 1 min 20 sec. Stated by approximate volume that is about 6 tablespoons of whole beans ground in 1 min 20 sec (enough to serve 2 people)

IS IT LOUD? – No, it’s really quite tame. You’ll find it MUCH quieter than grinding with an electric grinder and it’s even better than some of the other popular manual grinders.

IS IT HARD TO CRANK? – Actually it’s pretty easy. The grinder is slim for easy gripping and the crank handle is long enough to give you good leverage for a smooth and easy grind. Some of the difficulty depends on your coffee beans but the grinder does it’s part to make things go smoothly.

WILL I LOVE IT? – You love your coffee which means…your coffee grinder should make you happy as well. If it doesn’t or you have some problem don’t worry since we back your purchase with great no-quibble, customer service because we’re serious about making sure you’re pleased.
