Comments about Peregrine Outfitters Coffee Grinder:

Used this product in conjunction with H2Joe (GSI Outdoors) and 1 Quart/Liter Naqlgene water bottle to brew coffee.
Found it very difficult to grind the coffee as the coffee beans at the bottom of the hopper doesn't avail itself to the grinding teeth (a design flaw).
A larger area at the bottom of the hopper should be all that's needed to resolve this problem.
Takes about 10 minutes to grind enough beans to brew a pot of coffee.
The adjustment screw had backed out at some point during the first grinding session and inadvertently ended up with the grounds (eventually in the trash can with the used grounds).
On my next purchase I may try the Java Grind (GSI Outdoors) coffee grinder.

Comments about Peregrine Outfitters Coffee Grinder:

This product will not only be useful when I travel or camp,but also at my "other home"in a small,isolated village in British Columbia.We loose power frequently with our winter storms and one of the things we miss the most is our freashly ground beans.
