Did not come with clear instructions on how to adjust. It just reduced my black tea to dust that seeps through the filter and struggled with my orange tea. This is my second time purchasing an Adagio grinder and being disappointed. I get better results with my mortar and pestle.
I didn't realize how big and bulky this grinder is. It doesn't come with instructions on how to put it together, so you have to play around with it to figure it out. So far, I've used this to grind up lemongrass, peppermint and spearmint, and it grinds it up nicely for blends, but it doesn't grind it to a powder.
Minus one star for NO INSTRUCTIONS. Not for what you can send through (Fresh herbs? Teas with dried fruit pieces?), not for how to adjust the grind (the hexagon thing you can see in the hopper) and not for assembly. The AI bot says it's good for teas or spices, but be careful with the oilier spices and wash well afterward. It also says there's no assembly diagram anywhere. I took mine apart to wash it, and now I'm not sure how all the nuts and bolts go back together.
Minus one star for the amount of elbow grease needed. I started with rose hips, as another reviewer said that was easy. It was not. Then I did pink peppercorn, which was a little work but not much. Finally I did a rooibos blend with fruit bits. The rooibos went through like a charm, but the fruit bits bobbed on top of the grinder without ever going through.
On the other hand, it works better than a mortar and pestle, it's easier than dragging out my electric spice grinder if I only want to do a spoonful, it washes up easily enough, and I like the lid for the bowl part.
I am very disappointed in this. It is hard to turn with larger herbals and even with just black tea, it does not grind fine enough.
While this tackles some leaves okay, this grinder is not wholly compatible with all varieties of tea one might purchase on this site, and more often than not leaves large portions un-ground or simply flattened within the grinding chamber. While it's suitable for a course grind for amplified flavor profile, I find the size of grind leaves something to be desired when it comes to the texture of consuming the leaves themselves. An electric grinder or mortar and pestle may be necessary to achieve a truly fine grind for those seeking to use their teas as a topper, or to simply consume more of the tea base itself without the grit of whole leaves. To be wholly honest, I've found my mortar and pestle to be faster and more effective for grinding tea from the start - barring an issue with grip strength or ability to apply downward pressure, I'd advise just getting a good mortar and pestle instead.
Hmmmmmmmm! I like this product but it kind of confusing with no instructions for different levels of grinding tea. Works well and you have to play with it but it is a tea toy and a very good price on sale.
Been using for tea cake, works better then the food processor and coffee grinder. Better for delicate tea leaves.
Used to grind dried mushrooms, which it does effectively. I like the rubber no-slip base and that it fits on standard size mason jars. A bit pricy.
Easy to put together and disassemble. Smooth rotation.
I got this to grind herbs and it’s ability to cut them fine or coarse is a big plus! I like to add extra peppermint to the Deer Fuel tea and this was perfect for that purpose. I also blend parsley with sea salt and want it fine enough to shake so the smallest setting worked for that too! I know I could use an electric chopper but this hands-on one gives me more control and that affects the flavor, ultimately.
This grinder works to grind large quantities, but doesn't have as much power behind it as I wanted. I bought this grinder mostly to grind spices, but it is definitely better for teas. I was impressed with how fine it can grind on the finest setting!
Great item to grind up tea and add to tea bags . Love it . Would definitely buy again.
Tested with some rose petals, and it reduced them to powder no problem! Making infused sugars and using whole spices is going to be so much easier now.
I have used this fun manual tea grinder and was slightly disappointed that it doesn’t make a very fine powder as shown on the box. However, it does grind it down to fairly small particles good for cooking or putting in a tea bag.
If you want the joy and pride of hand grinding your own tea, this is a nifty way to go!
This is an excellent grinder which I bought for garnishes for lattes. I've already grounded up lavender buds just to see that it does work. I'll post an update next time I make a London Fog.
I never would have thought about grinding my own tea leaves, but this is a great product. It also works for grinding up spices and herbs.
I bought this so that I could grind the Steak Rub Spice that Adagio sells. Works really well.
I like this the bulb is large, the grinding funnel is beefy. but it seems to be a plastic or rubber grinder area so the fruit bits arent always caught. not a problem. I use it the make my older tea stash feel fresher and i like it for self made blends.
Very good grinder IMHO. Easy to use, adjust, disassemble & clean. Patience is the key to getting a fine grind. I have used it to make expresso coffee & grind gunpowder tea for a pseudo matcha.
It grinds the tea very fine, I used some lapsang on some pork ribs I smoked- interesting, but not as strong as I'd hoped...anyway, it takes forever to grind, but it does well, I was hoping to use a drill on it to speed things up, not sure if it'll grip the top well without ruining the threads.
This works very well, a good solid little grinder.
It s a nice design, just takes a bit to get used to
This did not work as intended. I wanted a fine grind, but this gets stuck easily and does not grind easily. Very disappointed.
I got this for my husband for Christmas and he loved it. He said that it works great and loves that it can store his matcha in the bottom of the container.
It works pretty well but it doesn't get the tea ground as fine as the packaged MATCHA. Also you have to grind it about three times to get is pretty fine. I'm happy with it but don't expect the tea to be super fine.
Okay, not sure how big I thought this would be, but its massive. But I guess it makes sense, so that you can get lots of tea in there. I haven t used it yet, but right off the mark I m deducting a star because there are no instructions. It says it adjustable for get a finer end product, but I had to play with it for quite some time to figure it out.
I am buying an extra one to use exclusively for tea, but my son uses the other one for grinding spices and this one is the best one by far..it actually affords a bit more control over the grind...I would suggest getting 2 if you can..1 for spices and 1 for tea😊
Really, really not working for me. Joint Pain and the inability –which most likely is my fault – to adjust the grind intensity makes it a dust collector in my shelf.
But I do give it four points because the glass container makes it easy to store the spice or seasoning after grinding and its easy to clean.
I was not a fan of this product. I tried to grind down my earl grey green and was not successful. After two rounds of grinding, there were still full pieces of tea left. The idea is fabulous, the execution not so much...
Grinds really fine, the whole thing is a bit bigger than I expected. My one disappointment is that the tea is hard to get out of the hopper to change flavors.
Was looking for a way to make matcha at home and save some money. This was not the right choice. The tea leaves weren't nearly as fine as the matcha I buy from the store.
I just ground up a bunch of black tea to see if I could make a strong concentrate, and to see if I could drink the whole leaf like you do with matcha! Ya know, just for fun...so I actually make the tea in a coffee maker and got a beautiful dark brew that I used for some cups of tea and loved it! I could see that working in tea lattes, cakes, soups, boiling eggs, or any recipe where you can use a bit of tea for an extra health boost. IN particular though, I did it so I could make tea lattes when I get tired of coffee, which has been known to happen! The only caviat, is that it takes a pretty long time to grind, and don t expect the fine powder that a matcha offers. having said that, I haven t tried my gyokuro leaves yet. When I do I ll let you know.
I bought it more to blend and grind the spice mixes I make than tea. For maximum efficiency I suggest you chop the larger things you want to blend (like dried chili peppers) into tiny pieces to ensure they don't get stuck.
This grinder won t create as fine a grind as a traditional matcha, but it really does the trick for grinding tea for use in baking projects.
The grinder works really well - I found that putting the tea through twice gave a bit finer grind (though one is still drinking tea leaves and they do 'grow' in the water so it's not entirely unnoticeable). The real reason I purchased this was to grind spices and it does THAT job perfectly!
Easy to use, larger capacity than I imagined from the photograph.
When you want to extract the fullest flavor from your tea this is the ticket.
Had to play around with it and modify it but finally got it together and working properly after my initial bad experience. Once working it is a great little grinder. Grinds things to a fine fine powder. Awesome.
The grinder was perfect for my steak rub. Very easy to assemble.
