Review Javapresse manual conical burr grinder
Vložit
- čas přidán 15. 08. 2024
- This is likely a private label manual burr grinder. However I find it produces a very consistent grind from very fine to medium. Once you get more coarse than medium, the burr wobble begins to produce an increasingly variable grind quality the more coarse you get. This works well for espresso and pour over and passes for french press grinds although the french press grind is a bit more variable in consistency. As with other ceramic burr grinders, they don't last forever. But while they are sharp, they can produce a very nice consistent grind and this one is a great size for travel or camping.

Now that's a great review he actually took the time to produce different grinds to show viewers how different can results be, unlike the other lazy reviewers who will only do one grind
This was a very thorough and detailed review. Better than the company review.
much more helpful than the makers' instructions. thanks. the only thing i would say, as someone totally ignorant of these, is that i would make it clear that when you click it clockwise you are ,in essence, tightening it, and it will evetually stop. and that when you go counterclockwise it will eventually totally come loose. it was not completely clear to me, once you are to the extreme clockwise if that is where you make turkish or espresso, or if you go counter a click or two.
Excellent review. No robotic B.S. Thanks so much!
Great review; your reviews, by the way, are legendary! :-)
Legendary? Really? Wow, thanks.
Well I like it because I've seen a lot of reviews on YT and have come to really appreciate those that make an effort to have stable clear video with good lighting and narration that's informative, stays on topic and is delivered with pleasant articulate speech. All those standards are met here. Also, no annoying background music! One question though, title says "Javapresse" but in the description it says "this is likely a private label ... grinder." Does that mean this wasn't a Javapresse, or that Javapresse itself is a knockoff of some other brand? What's the other identical one you have?
a good way to clean it from time to time is put some minite rice into it and grind it up, it will remove the built up oils and coffee grounds.Can also keep a dialed in setting as you dont have to take it apart.
Yup, good point. I've used rice to clean ceramic burr grinders and it does a great job.
though this is a better option.

Be careful tapping the grounds reservoir on the counter or with a utensil after emptying it. The grounds collection reservoir is lined with plastic that can crack allowing water into the space between the liner and the metal and it’s very difficult getting it out except for waiting for it to drain. The company was excellent in dealing with this.
Thx for that, Alan. I've been tapping mine on my knuckles for just that reason.
This is made in China. Generic ones are available in Ebay, Lazada & Alibaba. Mine only lasted 2 months. There is a plastic component inside that is made of weak plastic. It broke. But overall, the product works. They probably just need to use a stronger material like the plastic component inside to make last longer. Or maybe include a replacement for that plastic component.
Yes, it is private label and made in China. Mine still works.
Love your voice, great job. Thanks linda
A very informative video and a honest review unlike a lot of other people out there. You are a legend man !
Also curios, why not just use a medium grind for french press, if you don't mind the dirt in the bottom and minimize the brew time ?
I use espresso coffee in my French press sometimes because Don’t have any other coffee (reason why I want my own grinder) and I completely agree. It may be be “right” by the coffee experts but it works just fine for me. A little crunch at the bottom never hurt anyone, still tastes great! 😆
I've been using burr grinders for some years now. One technique I've found helpful for the mixed coarse grind is to soak the grounds first by dribbling some warm water over them. After about 30 sec. to a min., pour in the rest of the hot water. Don't steep as long, either. Two minutes & change works for me. If this doesn't cut it for you, you can use a mortar & pestle in small batches & inspect each grain for consistency. Yes, I've done that too. Phooey. I can't taste any difference. If none of this works, write to your congress representative & demand a law for granular consistency among manual grinders!
Final note: Burned (dark-roasted) coffees are NOT more flavorful. They're simply stronger. Burn a fine Kona & you won't get that wonderful wine-sap finish. Burning fine Arabicas also should be banned by executive order. Starbucks is a prime example of such a desecration of our beloved brew. Oh the shame....
Wow.
maybe a stronger spring will solve the wobble problem
If you take this apart pay close attention to washer orientation. JavaPresse documentation is either lacking or contradictory. Contacting them is an exercise in futility.
Nice review thanks!
Clauds43 thanks
Great Review!! Thanks for sharing!!
awesome video, very informative
the black plastic interior also holds the grinder assembly and if it separates from the steel casing, then it is pretty much done--this happened to mine within 2 weeks of my initial use (perhaps I forced something when I shouldn't and that dislodged the plastic, but it was a disappointing morning to say the least).
Sorry to hear that. I’m not a fan of this grinder. Much better options out there these days. I hope you were able to get your coffee infusion in another way.
@@michaelerbreviews Yeah, it fell apart the first time I tried to use it. Metal retainer that holds spring parted company, and no user manual to help me get it back together correctly for full functionality. Not a fan. Also, no source for replacement parts. I'm calling BS on this one, labeling it a POS. Parts are worth about $1.75.
Great review, Thanks very much
Wish I would have seen this review before I bought this garbage. Would have saved me time and money. I read about this grinder from a review page who claimed it was the best one for cold brew... after trying to do it it totally sucks. It can’t stop jamming with the beans I want to grind. Guess they’re too small also. Really pathetic that it can’t handle what I wanted. Good review btw no nonsense and straight to the point.
Thank you for your comment. There are quite a few better choices out there since I first reviewed this one. Many newer manual grinders now have stainless steel burrs which are more durable, sharper and generally superior in every way. Also if you use really oily beans, like French Roast for instance, you have a much greater likelihood of them jamming up inside the grinder.
@@michaelerbreviews thanks for the info. I just went with a automatic grinder. So much less of a guessing game. Keep up the good work and thanks for replying back even though the videos got a little age.
Helppp. I took the burr apart, now when when i put everything together, everything is loose. I do not get the sort of tight and downward pushing force at the burr (seems like i missed some spring, but im pretty sure everything is still here). Have you ever had similar problem?
I have the same problem now
A+ review, thank you.
Thanks for watching!
Any chance you know where to get a user manual for this grinder? Mine fell apart the first time I attempted to use it, and not sure where everything goes. Spring, rubbers, metal retainer flew off/out. Can't find a user manual or video to show full disassembly and reassembly.

Awesome video! Thank you so much!
Glad you liked it!
very well done!
The question is how many scoops of coffee beans using a tablespoon can you put into it...
Level tablespoons..
I need at least 8..
I have the other glass one.. I can put 8 level scoops of beans in it..
If I can't do that with the javapresse then I have no use for it..
I have a French press stainless steel 32 oz I use every morning..
It makes ( 2 )16 oz cups using 8 level scoops of beans in the manual grinder.
So 8 Scoops is a must
I measure my beans by weight, not by tablespoons. This will hold about 35grams of beans. That might translate to around 7 or 8 tablespoons depending on the bean itself and the grind.
How many clicks for the medium coarse, pourover?
Try starting at 25 clix, then adjust accordingly.
My Java Presse worked well for nearly 7 grinds when the plastic piece inside the conical burr broke and the axle merely spun without turning the burr. Is there a remedy?
I'd contact the seller. None of these are particularly long lived but should certainly last longer than 7 uses
Thank you; I've ordered another cone. I'm assuming I did something wrong.
A couple tips... never go backwards with the handle or you can damage the ceramic burrs. Make sure you don't have the burrs set too close so that they actually touch when grinding... that could also cause damage to the burrs. And if you by chance get a small pebble in the beans... it happens, that could immediately cause a ceramic burr to break.
On close inspection I can see some small chips in the ceramic part but the plastic piece that grips the "axle" is what broke. I shall more closely follow your advice when the replacement arrives.
nice review thank you, really liked you showed and told of the grinds, now do you still have the grinder and still recommend? thank you b safe
This Javapresse is a ceramic burr grinder. There are actually newer manual grinders available that I believe to be superior because they are stainless steel burrs that aren't prone to breaking as ceramic burrs are and they have superior bushings that prevent burr wobble.. The stainless steel burr grinders are not that much more expensive. For instance, this one...amzn.to/3rcJajg
@@michaelerbreviews thanks and you went the extrs mile on the recommendation peace to you
So, for a French Press coarse-grind the burrs (by opening wider apart) tend to give a less consistent-even grind? So of all the manual burr grinders out there...which is the best for a French Press coarse grind then?
Sylvia Catalano correct. It is a terribly inconsistent grind on the coarse setting. The best I've found so far is the new Handground grinder which I have also reviewed. czcams.com/video/UPQzchQet7Y/video.html
What is the exact name of this Hand-ground grinder? (Since they're all hand-ground to begin with)
Sylvia Catalano that's it. It's called the Handground Precision coffee grinder. handground.com
can i re-grind the grinded beans in case i did not get the course i want? i usually get a bigger course because i'm not aware that i can adjust that burr.
Kendra Humpreys No. Do not ever attempt to regrind.
I know this is an old video... but could you tell me how many click from fully close did you go for each grind? thanks.
No hard and fast rule. Less clicks than you might think. The different varieties of beans and roasts can influcence that too. Just experiment and keep track of your own results. You can put a tiny reference mark on the wheel to help you make adjustments.
i want to make a cold brewed coffee and was wondering if we can make a coarse grind using this.
The coarse grind is quite inconsistent with this and most similar manual ceramic grinders. It's not ideal for that but will get the job done I guess. This works much better for fine and medium grind.
@@michaelerbreviews cheers mate!
My grind adjustment wheel doesn't "click" at all. How do I tell what the grind is? Also kind of hard putting the beans in with the crank in the way. But it's cute as hell.
Adjust the wheel about 1/6 turn at a time, grind a small amount and observe the result. keep adjusting until you dial in the grind you need.
@@michaelerbreviews Thanks for the tip. But I noticed that you said this unit doesn't do well with the French Press grind which is my brew method of choice. I'll dial it in eventually. Thanks again.
Jeff Barnes That’s right, the more coarse the grind, the more inconsistent it becomes. Sadly that’s how most of these small manual burr grinders perform. As my video discusses, there’s too much wobble and that wobble translates to an inconsistent grind the more coarse you go.
Mine turns but doesn't grind. Anyone else?
letharja is the outer burr spinning along with the inner burr? Or maybe your adjustment has too little clearance thus no beans are able to be ground.
Made in?
Made in China

I was disappointed with this product as it takes way too long to grind enough for one single cup of coffee.
True, using a small hand grinder will need more time to grind coffee
Uh my god,it just a simple grinder.
And what's your point?
