   Using our new hand-cranked burr grinder to make some coarse grind for the French press. http://micro.fragdev.com/attachment/61975

     @jonkulp Nice, looks very similar to mine. Is it a Japanese brand? (I forget the name now...)

     @jonkulp ... although I see they have improved the design a bit, mine doesn't have a cover so some pieces always escape :-)

     @sazius brand is Hario. So far no pieces flying, also it has regular lid you can screw on the jar to save excess.

     @jonkulp Hario, that's the one I have too. Yeah I have that regular lid too, but mine (which was bought in 2011) doesn't have the lid over the "grinding chamber" (making up my own terms here). I've always thought that it would need a lid :-) Great that they are improving the design!

     @sazius cool, yeah it seems like a pretty good grinder, although it takes longer to grind than I would like it to, especially if grinding anything finer than coarse. The floppy lid over the grinding chamber is excellent. :-)

     @jonkulp Yeah, it takes some time, but I guess that's just physics, no way to make it faster without adding a motor :-) For this kind of "luxury" thing it somehow feels wrong to me to waste a lot of electricity, which is why I got a hand grinder :-) I feel I'm worth the coffee after having worked a bit for it :-)

     @encycl Very nice! I need to go dig in the attic of our old cottage up in the north, I'm sure there's an old coffee grinder somewhere :-)
