Never buy a ceramic burr grinder these days. I've not used this specific one but for the money it is a terrible choice. These days there are fantastic high quality steel burr grinders available at a similar price from Timemore and Kingrind or other lesser known companies. Well made stainless steel burr grinders are faster and provide a much more consistent grind size/grind variability than ceramic grinders.

If someone is buying a new grinder they should stay away from Porlex ceramic and Hario ceramic burr grinders. 20 years there were no other choices at those prices now there are tons of far better grinders with stainless steel burrs. Porlex is overpriced garbage.

Haven't used this, but I would think most would agree there it's not a bad grinder at its price point, but for not much more you could likely do better. Whether that matters is probably more important. If you like it and have it dialed in for your brews then you might not gain all that much by upgrading. I would recommend considering the following: Go to a reputable local roaster and order a pour over there. Assuming you like it, note if they used a flat bottom or conical brewer, ask them the brew ratio. Buy a decent size bag of the same beans and use a similar style brewer and same ratio and play with trying to get a Similar or better cup with your grinder. Once you've reached apex, go back and order the same cup to put things back into perspective. If you feel like you just aren't matching it, a better grinder is the next best step to getting closer.

I haven't used the mini, but I own both the Porlex Tall and the Tall II.

I've also used a variety of other hand mills.

There is Porlex, and there is everything else.

My Hario Mini Mill was my daily driver until I got the original Tall. When I got the Tall II, I stopped using the Hario entirely.
