The Zassenhaus coffee grinder "Guatemala" is visually appealing. The clear Bauhaus design is really great implemented. The mechanics of the mill is high quality, can be precisely adjusted and is able to grind the coffee fine enough to produce a nice crema in a portafilter espresso machine. The crank arm is compared to other coffee grinders exceptionally wide spreading, the easier it is to apply the necessary force to rotate the grinder. The coffee is collected in a small glass container, which is screwed into the grinder below. In the package is also a lid, which allows you to close this glass container airtight so that too much ground coffee a day or two remains usable. The glass container is provided below with a rubber coating so that it can be gripped easily. So much for the positive things clearly outweighs in this mill!
Now to the criticisms: For my midsize men's hands the mill is hard to keep on grinding, because the surfaces are smooth and all the edge lengths are just so great that one can not completely surround the mill. I do not want to grind more coffee than for 2 cups at a time, then do me already hurt hands. It also somewhat difficult to grasp the round glass containers in the square inner recess of the mill and turn, especially when he was screwed.
The conclusion is therefore mixed. When handling the disadvantages described. The mill also fulfills its purpose, at least for small amounts and looks good.
