Purchased grinder in UK from America
If you do decide to return it, a friend of mine returned items sent to China from Amazon (US) and after a phone call, Amazon paid for most of the return shipping costs

Looking for a bulletproof manual grinder
I'm don't know about the mills you've mentioned but I would look through this thread - there are some really nice wooden hand grinders out there and they're pretty fast (50 - 75 revolutions for 15 grams - depending on the grinder).

Owner experience with Pharos manual coffee grinder by Orphan Espresso
I've plugged the cork in the funnel once, and so has my husband. I was able to use a sharp kitchen knife and pry the cork out. The 2nd time I opened the Pharos, since I had already taken it apart for a good cleaning and burr alignment several times before, it was just easier. I've never gotten the

Owner experience with Pharos manual coffee grinder by Orphan Espresso
I got my pharos grinder (#012) a few weeks ago and brought it back to Beijing from San Francisco yesterday. I packed it in it's original box and had it checked in. In my hand carry I had my Pede Dienes and Lehnartz. Airport security did'nt stop me (except to look at my burritos). When I got home, in...
