3.0 out of 5 starsNumbering is backwards!
Reviewed in the United States on March 21, 2020
The grinder is nice, and I'll keep it. However, one of the main reasons I purchased this grinder (vs similarly priced competitors) was the numbered dial, because I brew with a variety of methods, from Aeropress to pourover to french press, and I wanted to be able to go directly to the specific number I tuned in for each method. But the numbering is...backwards. Meaning, you start at 0, go around counterclockwise to coarsen and it reads as 9, 8, and so on, back down to zero, which is a full turn, and then it counts down again, and methods require anywhere from 5 clicks to 30. That'd be easy if it counted forward--if french press required 21 clicks, you turn it two full times around and then to the 1. But instead, you have to think 2 full times around and then go to the 9. That's fine if you only use one method--just make it a click or two finer or coarser for taste, but if you're switching between multiple methods, it's needlessly confusing, and avoiding that was the whole purpose of the numbered dial in the first place.
