They’re normal (as most steel burr grinders with bearing support are). Tighter distribution than Porlex/Rhino/Hario, wider than a Vario/EK/OE Apex.

Good value for money & capable of representative brews.

This is the hand grinder I use most often because of ease of use & settings.

Is there a particular parameter you need to hit?

    MWJB Mark, I have quite a bit of brewed equipment and in truth, very little idea what to do with it as I just use the Niche when switching between methods. Now, that is not to say the Niche is not ok, but rather than just buy a Wilfa or similar, I saw this and thought since my brewed itch only comes to the surface every now and then, it might make a good option

      I’ve had a few different models over the years and they are very well built. Used daily at work for pour over, travel, holidays etc. The original Feldgrind was probably my favourite, but I stupidly sold it.

      I’ve been eyeing up an Aergrind for a while as a travel/pour over grinder. They had a slight discount on 2nds yesterday so couldn’t resist.

      I have the Aergrind and Feld2, they’re both pretty good, especially the Aergrind as a travel grinder. I do feel the adjustment mechanism on the Aergrind is good for intended use, namely Aeropress and pour over. To me the Feld2 adjuster is possibly a bit overthought and although an ok grinder it’s perilously topple-prone.

      I find my 1zpresso J-Max capable of much finer, easily repeatable adjustment for espresso..no surprise really as that’s it’s intended use, lol. Built like a brick outhouse, too.

      I have an Aerspeed for travelling. I think that it has a more aggressive burrset than the Aergrind which makes it faster but has a more limited range of adjustment for espresso. I got it as an upgrade from the Rhino as i got tired of churning away to grind enough beans for an aeropress. You can really feel it chomping through the beans. Although it may have limitations for use as a sole grinder, I find it perfectly adequate as a travel grinder for espresso/aeropress.

      Does your collection include any hand grinders ? If you do, I would use that to see if it does the job! 😊

        dfk41 That trinity looks very nice. Do you use it some time? You have a good collection of coffee kits; the lack of a hand grinder surprises me, tbh!

        Edit:

        The brew guru has already given his verdict. You can’t go wrong with that choice! 😊

          Had one of the first run of Feldgrinds - had a major problem with it - barrel parted company with the mechanism which Peter replaced. Also had an Aergrind which was OK but went bigger (burr-wise) with a Kinu as Knock didn’t do 48mm burr sets at the time.
