I do a fine grind, but not espresso powder fine, for pour over/drip coffee. That said, I tried both mesh screens and while I got some of the fine powder out which did arguably result in a smoother, richer tasting coffee, it required a lot of extra work!(1) the grounds got stuck in both screens which resulted in needing to frequently use a bristle brush (not included), to clear the meshes (2) even after minutes of shaking the grounds over a bowl, I still had powder left over (shown in paper filter) (3) more coffee powder ended up electrostatic-ally clinging around the inside rim when compared to what fell out.Conclusion: if you REALLY care about the little difference this makes in taste and don't mind all of the extra steps that seemed necessary to use and clean this canister, go for it! Otherwise, you might be better off just accepting your coffee and maybe using a different grinder if anything.

This is actually a great little tool for separating coarse grounds from the fines, before you brew your coffee or espresso.There are TWO sizes of metal filters to help separate out the SMALL— and SMALLER—particles of coffee from a batch of your freshly ground coffee beans. You can also use this on those pre-ground bags of coffee from the supermarket, to help remove some of the fine grinds that contributes to bitterness and grit in your drinks. The system works quite well if you shake the container like a maraca, and give it enough time to allow the sifter to do its work.The one unfortunate part of its design, though, is that there is an interior lip below the jar’s wide-mouth opening. It consists of a sharp ledge, rather than being a gently sloping one—which tends to catch coffee grounds! It makes it extremely difficult to pour out all the coffee into another container, once the sifting has been done.Just a slight redesign of the glass jar (the bottom half of the product) in order to ELIMINATE that coffee-catching lip, would make a world of difference in this product’s overall practicality & efficiency!

CHEAPER THAN KRUVE! I spent a fortune on the Kruve sifter a while back and while it works fine, this Shelbru sifter does just as good of a job for way cheaper. I only drink cold brew so I only use the cold brew setting but it also comes with a setting for pourover and drip.I also have the rest of their product lineup and love that all the products are designed with a uniform look. It brings me joy to see all the products lined up neatly in my kitchen every morning.

The materials of this sifter feel well made, the main body is glass while the cap and ring that holds the sifter plate is made of sturdy plastic. The metal sifters could be broken with your bare hands, but are more than sturdy enough to handle their job as long as you don't abuse them. Just be careful not to drop anything heavy onto the sifter plates.It looks like it can hold about 6-8 servings at a time. I put about 30 grams of course grind into this to prep for a french press for two servings, expecting only a thin layer to get filtered out. it actually sifted about 10 grams, or a third of my dose, so I had to make a smaller serving than planned and find a way to make use of the otherwise wasted 10 grams. You may need to adjust how much you prep in here to account for the material lost, though maybe I just needed to use the finer mesh intended for drip/pourover.The real issue with this product is that fines tend to stick to the edges of the glass, and grinds can get stuck around the parts holding the sifter in place, as the jar and ring do not focus the grounds exclusively overtop of the sifter component. You will want to use techniques to minimize static by spritzing the beans with water before grinding. I had to knock a couple starts off for the extra work and annoying cleanup.There are not a lot of coffee sifters on the market, and for the 19.90 USD this cost when I ordered it, the sifter does seem like a good value, it's just going to be a chore to keep it clean, which minimizes how often I can use it.

Best ever! Makes a noticeable difference in taste

Works great, worth the price, good value. The coffee does stick to the glass. It's a little messier than it needs to be. I wish it came with more filter screens or options to add/customize screens.

Made a great gift for my coffee loving kids

Very easy to use but little bit messy if you are not careful.

Podría mejorar, tiene estática y no pasan todos los granos finos.

Love this sifts the too fine ground coffee bean right out . Now I can use the coarser grind

First, the good aspects: Quality materials, good design, excellent manufacturing. Now, the not-so-good: While the sifter uses good *quality* materials, it does not use a good *selection* of materials. The glass jar and plastic cap accumulate static electricity during the shaking process. The static electricity traps lumps of fines in the jar and cap, lowering the amount of fines removed and causing a mess when you remove the cap. The plastic mesh filter housing could remain plastic so everything fits snugly. The trapped fines aren’t so bad there. But the jar and cap should be made of materials less prone to static electricity, such as stainless steel or aluminum. The recommended up-and-down shaking process creates more lumps. Fines impact and clog the mesh, reducing what gets through. Fines that do get through are constantly thrown back up into the jar. Better is shaking side-to-side. No filtered fines get back into the jar, and the coarser grinds scrape the mesh free of clogs, filtering more fines. Finally, a 300um mesh would be more helpful for pour over and espresso drinkers. The 500um mesh left too many super-fines for my pour over. Some fines actually help pour over flavor. What you don’t want for pour over are super-fines. A >300um (espresso top end) mesh would improve both pour overs and espressos. I hope Shelbru is listening, because I really, really wanted to like this product. Close, but not close enough.

This is a simple device that does a great job at removing fines from your coffee grounds. I primarily brew in a French Press and this has significantly reduced the amount of sludge in each cup.

The coffee sifter works as advertised, and I like the option to be able to change the filter, but cleaning it takes too long, especially with frequent use, and is messy. And likely, most people will probably will only use one filter almost all of the time. My previous coffee sifter was just a powdered sugar sifter, composed of just two steel pieces: the container and the screw-on lid with the metal filter built in. It is easy to use and clean. And it also has no plastic or glass components, so I don’t have to worry much about breaking it or it wearing out. Plus it’s really cheap. Bottom line: this coffee sifter is over-engineered.

I’m new to the world of grinding my own coffee, but I wanted a device so I could try to make my coffee grounds a little more uniform. This does the job.It’s good-quality and there is an ample amount of storage capacity for freshly-ground beans, allowing the microparticles to be sifted out and the rest of the ground batch to be held for later use. It’s a cute and easy concept to fill it with the grounds, flip it, shake it, and then remove the lid to take out all the microparticles in it.I wish there was one more grade of sifter included, but that’s because my grinds from my grinder vary wildly and it would be nice to have one more sifter to try to get three different uniformities of grounds.For a first time user, I’m overall happy with this and think it was worth the money.

I love the simplicity of this product and that it does exactly what it advertises: sifts the coffee grounds so my pour-over cup of ☕️ isn’t full of grit. Easy to use; easy to clean.

I have an electric grinder, and while it's good, it's not the best. There's tons of fines that end up coming out regardless of the grind setting. This little sifter has improved the flavor so much that I now drink my coffee black. Plus it's fun to incorporate into my morning coffee routine! Great product!

First, arrived fast and undamaged. So far it’s been great, have used it with grinds from my Ode 2 and from my Timemore c2. I see about a 0.5g loss from the fines but that doesn’t bother me at all. I now just add 0.5g to my beans to start with. Coffee taste has been totally better getting those out. For the price I’d highly recommend!

I have a Bodum pour-over carafe for my coffee which uses a fine mesh filter to hold the coffee grounds. Pre-ground coffee does fine in it, but when I grind my own beans the coffee dust ends up flowing right through the filter and into the carafe. It settles out while I'm drinking but by the end I'm left with a layer of coffee sludge at the bottom of my mug.This sifter doesn't eliminate 100% of the sediment but it greatly reduces it. More amazing, though, is that removing the majority of the dust creates a more mellow cup of coffee that is noticeably smoother and doesn't leave an acidic aftertaste. This is a sturdy, classy looking device that is super easy to use. My only gripe (and it's a small one) is that the borosilicate container has a small lip at the top that traps a small amount of coffee when I tip it over to empty it. Other than that I can't find any faults with it. Now that I've experienced how good my coffee can taste just by shaking out the dust with this sifter, I can't imagine making coffee without it.

I like the idea of this, and that the components are well made with higher quality materials, but I think the design is a bit flawed. For one, the curvature of the jar at the top makes it somewhat difficult to get all the coffee grinds out and from a psychological perspective, it would help if the logo was also upside down underneath it being right side up. And, I know it sounds funny, but since many of us are creatures of habit and are used to thinking that the logo direction must be the direction of use, it makes it awkward at first, with coffee getting all over the place when you turn it what you think is the right way (while you wonder, “won’t the sifted grinds fall back into my nicely sifted coffee?”), then you open it and make a mess, because technically it is really upside down. Hopefully that makes sense. It was during this process that I thought about how they should turn the thing upside down and make the lid where you sift on the bottom. They actually did, but you don’t really think of it that way because of the said logo direction. Adding an additional logo and flipping it upside down would naturally make you think of turning it to the intended direction. It is kind of a messy process either way, just less messy when done correctly. Recommended for those lazy mornings when you have time to add that extra step, but not when you’re running on a short amount of time and have to get to work quickly but need your morning pour over or French press fix:)
