I’ve always used a cheap coffee grinder for my Moka. It created very uneven grounds but it’s what I had. It finally stopped working so a relative gifted me this MAVO manual grinder.
It’s the first experience I’ve had with a bur grinder and the grounds it produces are very uniform.
I’m still dialing the grind setting for my liking but I’m enjoying the process. I’ll also need to pick up a few different roasts to experiment with.

Burr grinders make a world of difference. I can’t see how anyone could drink coffee made using a blade grinder.
I started using one when I was 21 and at the time coffee was coffee. If it made me wake up it was good enough.
Over the years I knew there was a better way but I also don’t like buying things simply because I want to. I’d rather have a good reason.
After my grinder broke and my sibling asked me what I wanted for Christmas this was one of the few things I actually needed. :)
I have a Peugeot Kronos and a Bellman CX-25, which I exclusively use during power outages. Otherwise it’s the bean blender and the drip machine.
