What is your expeience with the Porlex Mini II manual grinder?
It’s the only grinder I’ve ever used, I find it quite handy and consistent in the grinding but I have actually no benchmark to judge it objectively. Is it actually good?

    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.

      @[email protected] If I stick to the Porlex the tall could be my next step. The Mini is handy until you need to brew two cups or a liter of cold brew 🙃

        Yeah, I typically brew a 1L French press. My usual routine is to fill up the Tall’s hopper, grind it all, then add/grind just a little more. I do a coarse grind, of course.

        I got the Tall II right after it came out. I was looking for a new travel mill, and I almost got the Mini II, but I realized I wanted something bigger than that.

        So now the Tall II is my primary one, and my original Tall is my travel mill. 😁 And I’m very happy with that.
