First, I give the Hario Skerton 4 of 5 stars, I use it almost every day and for small quantities of finely ground espresso flour it's great.
But the grind adjustment is also me grobstufig and the result of grinding is at coarser grinds unsatisfactory because too irregular.
Supplement 18.10.2013: The gross Mahlgradstufen perform at my current espresso beans mean that I have to decide between processing times of 20 seconds and 60 seconds, which is annoying. And because of the simple storage of the grinder can be actually only 5 grinding degrees set (maximum of one full rotation from stop), before the result of grinding is too irregular.
For the annoying problem of being thrown out of the mill nibs (especially towards the end of the milling process) I have now found a great solution by accident (see my customer pics):
You buy for 1.59 a bucket Marinated olives from the refrigerated section at Lidl (which even quite tasty taste) and lift the lid on. This is to cover the model DETB 95 of the German plastics packaging manufacturer Jokey that you might even find in other packages in the trade is likely (instructions like to add as a comment!). In the center of the lid is a circular line is imprinted on the one along the center of the lid with a nail scissors cuts (the radial cutting on my photo is not necessary).
Then you can simply slide the lid over the knob of the crank and the bolt and place it on the bean container, the groove of the cover fits exactly on the edge. The crank does not have to be removed. For the filling of beans simply pushes the cover over the screw away to the side (he hangs on the handle) and then back - which lasts one second. After several test runs, I can say that the lid remains are safe during grinding and also does not interfere with the cranks, also the beans loss is now decreased to 0% with me ...
(Supplement 10.18.2013: The mill is now obvious to buy with lid, see Internet.)
Supplement 05.25.13: This glass fits nicely as a replacement if the original Glass times breaks down:
BUTLER Quattro Stagioni Storage glass 0,25 l
Only the silicone ring does not hold, since the glass is slightly narrower.
