really nice

I have been using it at 24 clicks for pour overs; same as the shipped setting. The C40 produces a surprisingly different grind than the other grinders I have used. I would say that the grind is nicely uniform, but the surprising feature is that the ground coffee is very fluffy with much more volume. I would guess that the individual grounds have more surface area than with other grinders. Also surprising is that even very fine settings don't produce a grind that gives much resistance to the water flowing through my V60. Consequently, I've had to throw out my old rules of pouring techniques--still experimenting. So far, I find that 24 clicks gives the best taste. I finish my pour at two minutes and stop any remaining brewing at 3 minutes. The bottom line is that the coffee tastes fantastic, better than ever. My eyes popped out when I tasted the first cup.

Great Build Quality

This thing is hefty. I enjoy the metal build, wood handle and that it has both a glass and plastic container included. The grind adjustment is a bit annoying to use because it's on the inside, but I don't change it much from my pour over setting anyway.

Great Grinder for Pour Over

C40 is absolutely great for pour over! Once you grind your coffee, you will see your the uniformity of the particles. The only downside is the static, but you could pray some water to the beans to mitigate the problem.

I've always kept a hand grinder at work for our french press and pour over. This year I decided to upgrade and I've never had such a consistent, quick and quiet grinding experience.

This is my second manual grinder. I've been using it for a few months, and I'm pretty satisfied. I started with a basic manual grinder (
