I see there are counterfeit grinders being supplied. Can someone offer a company that sells the real deal? Thanks!

I bought directly from Amazon, not from one of the other suppliers. Mine was real. I bought my first one from sweetmarias.com. It also was a Hario

I have no idea. I don't recall if I even knew it existed. I should have though because my grinder broke in about a year.

We are Authorized Babolat Dealers. We are just as hostile to counterfeiters as purchasers are. Kind regards, Customer Service

Hi, it is not NSF and that is what matters. Don't give up price on a grinder to save money, get the best one you can because of what it can do. Look at the Mazzer Mini Type A or B, especially because your are going in business.Spagsespresso

I ended up with a knockoff one too, from "West Port York." This is such a scam. Everything on the page indicates that its a TheraCane made by TheraCane. This one has no name on it anywhere and came in a crumpled plastic bag with nothing else, no manual, label, nothing.

Follow-up to my previous answer, the seller I bought from was SpeedPuzzles. There are sellers who use the exact same picture and description but sell different cubes. Ican say for sure that SpeedPuzzles sells the real thing. Thanks again for asking.

Yes! Works great with one issue. We have the little brown/greed/red plastic ones. (Not metal) They do give you one of theirs though (a little better design too). The issue is that this grinder always grinds too much, even on setting "1". So you have to stop it manually after 5/6 seconds. If you don't mind that, it's a lot easier than refilling those from a bag.

If you got them through Amazon, you're most likely ok. But there were (at least in the past) a LOT of counterfeit Monster Turbines (regular, Gold & Copper) on the market.The biggest tell-tale sign of the fakes is a recessed grill. You'll find some images here: http://www.head-fi.org/t/512386/fake-monster-turbine-pro-copper-comparing-real-vs-fakeBTW, congrats on your purchase. Assuming these are genuine, these are about the best IEMs you can buy, for any price :-)

I have the silver one as pictured. It is made out of Aluminum and that is why it is such a superior grinder to others.

My grinder was returned within five days of purchase form this very reason. I bought a different one!

The product that I received was the real deal. Used to sell it so I can assure you. :) If it's a fake they've gone to a great deal of trouble.

No idea, but a darn good question. I have not purchased the grinder yet, but am interested in doing so. This may sway my purchase.Good Luck!!

Hi both seem brand new and the grinder is black. This grinder is HUGE so keep that in mind. It also does not grind as finely as other herbal grinders.

No. That grinder is a piece of junk. Don't buy it. I purchased two different grinders under $20.00 and they both burned up within 10 grinds. I finally spent 30-35 dollars for one at Bed bath & beyond, and it works better. It was a cuisine art, I believe...

No, it's not. I was disappointed that it couldn't be used again, but their products are so good that it doesn't matter.You can, if you wish, buy grinder bottles similar to this one that are made to be used again & again - just look in any kitchen supplies store or department. I have 2 and they sure come in handy.

I face the same problem. I believe some sellers under this product sell the counterfeit item, and it's not identical to the product image shown on the product page. I already contact customer support. Be aware of this issue.

I found the Canadian Porlex website, got the same scary popup window on my screen warning me of the dangers of buying from Amazon or other dealers. Scary stuff:). I compared the bottom of my grinder to the picture on their website and as far as I can tell they are the same. I received my grinder in the same packaging as they show on the site. But they sell the item for 11 US dollars more plus the s/h. I would think if they really had an issue they would buy one from Amazon, send it back to Porlex, and have them identify it for them. But it is probably easier to throw aspersions than to really know the facts. All I know is the grinder is fabulous and works great for me.
