I bought this hand grinder as I was sick of the inconsistent grinds I was getting with my magic bullet. I was a bit hesitant with the $100 price tag but would now say that it was worth the price.
The grinder is heavier than expected and feels extremely sturdy. It looks great and is not too big/small (you can use my picture with the countertop plug in for size reference).
It takes about a golf ball size worth of beans at a time and you can do two of those before you need to empty out the chamber in the bottom (it becomes hard to grind if you overfill). Takes about 30-35 turns to completely grind all of the beans in the upper chamber but this doesn't take very long.
The grind consistency is great. Works perfectly for my Aeropress (1 upper chamber grind) and french press (2 upper chamber grinds). If you are looking for larger amounts of ground beans for a different type of brewing I would suggest buying the bigger size than the C2 25g.
My only cons are that the handle can be squeaky when grinding, it can get pretty static-ey with fresh beans (and you need to use the included brush to clean after use) and that the price seems a bit steep.
