Wancle Electric Coffee Grinder
Score: 76/100Rankings
The Hario Ceramic Coffee Mill Original is a lightweight manual grinder featuring a ceramic burr that delivers heat-free, consistent medium-coarse grounds. Its limited 24 g capacity and manual effort required for finer settings restrict batch size and convenience. Perfect for solo travelers or single-serve pour-over enthusiasts.
The Wancle Electric Coffee Grinder is a compact 150 W blade grinder with a high-speed 35,000 RPM pure copper motor and one-touch operation. Its small 60 g capacity and occasional grounds-sticking issues limit high-volume use. Ideal for single-serve coffee, spice, and herb grinding in tight spaces.

Professional reviewers praise the Hario Original Black for its precise ceramic burr that delivers consistent, heat-free grinds and its ultra-compact, travel-ready design. They acknowledge its simplicity and ease of cleaning, but caution that the small capacity and opaque chamber limit its usefulness for larger batches or espresso preparation.
Everyday users value the grinder's portability, straightforward operation, and easy maintenance, often highlighting its suitability for solo coffee routines. Recurring complaints focus on the limited batch size, the effort needed for fine grinds, and the inability to see the grind inside the opaque body.
“decent for modest needs but not high-volume grinding”
Professional reviewers and editors commend the Wancle grinder for its cost-effective build, featuring a pure copper motor and stainless-steel blades that deliver even, non-overheating grinding at 35,000 RPM. They also highlight its low-noise operation, compact cabinet-friendly design, and versatility beyond coffee, though they note the absence of independent third-party evaluations as a limitation.
Everyday users praise the grinder's quick, consistent results, simple one-touch control, compact footprint, and the convenience of the included cleaning brush. Common complaints focus on the limited 60 g capacity, grounds sticking inside the bowl, and the lack of precise dimension and weight information.
