Lido 3 Grinder, Hand Coffee Grinder for French Press, Drip and Espresso

Especially suited for two or more people. The large hopper makes it easy to load without touching or spilling the beans. Heavy and takes a little muscle. Not fast or slow. People complain about the spring on the handle failing. The instructions place too much emphasis on pulling up on the handle and not enuf on pushing on the button under the handle. It came lose and I finger tightened it and it has a hex socket. It tends to back out and holds the spring so could fail. I will tighten it down with a wrench. Overall it seems high quality, well made. I have no problem adjusting the griind. I don't clean it unless I get grinds in the threads. What's the point?

One phone call with Igor was all it took to get me started with the right French press coffee gear and a great tasting cup of coffee.
The Lido 3 is easy to operate and very portable producing excellent grounds from fine to course.

Great grinder with a horrible adjustment system.

Very easy to use and functional.

I had this World Trade Market grinder that was like 30 bucks. It wasn’t doing it for me, and I was getting serious about coffee so I got this monster. It absolutely (in a good way) shreds through coffee beans. Very efficient, very fast, and very uniform. Ergonomically I like the size, has I have tons of control and power while grinding. Some say the size is too much, especially since it’s somewhat marketed as portable, but you get in hell of a grinder for a few extra pounds. So I’m on board.

I upgraded from my electric blade grinder, this produces very consistent grounds compared to that. It can also fit enough coffee to make two big mugs in a French press, probably around 60 grams. Removing the ground compartment was a little tricky at first but I got the hang of it. Hopefully the steel burrs will last a long time.

Bought this for home use and it’s great. First time I’ve owned a non-blade grinder. Easy to use and adjust, and feels like it’s built to last forever. I’m a big fan. The stainless grind catch was a nice addition.

The stainless steel catch is awful. It does not fit correctly and takes multiple attempts to get on. Sometimes it gets stuck and you start changing the grind adjustment ring trying to take it on or off. I can already tell I’m going to throw my grinds all over the kitchen trying to get this thing off. The folding handle unfolds when grinding all the time. The clamping mechanism is not tight enough. Besides these problems it makes nice consistent grinds

Great grinder after researching and the settings and functionality. Enjoying my morning coffee so much more now

I paid an extra 20$ for the fastest shipping option. It arrived 2 days after the promised date. I needed it for a specific day for a specific purpose. The 20 $ was a waste of money. Also, when it arrived the steel grinds cup was incorrectly screwed on to the body. So I had to spend a good 20 minutes trying to remove it and was afraid of damaging the grinder. I eventually had to whack it against the floor to get it to come off. Very unpleasant experience. Other than that, the grinder works very well. Solid build, fast grinding.
