I love my bean machine and also tried doing carrots and they are fabulous too - just cut the carrots lengthwise to fit whole and put in like a bean - they are lovely and evenly cut and going to try parsnips too and maybe cylinder beets and zucchini this summer when in season - Karen McCaffery

Well-made but not quite the same
I inherited my mother's Dutch cast-iron bean slicer. I was unable to source someone to repair/sharpen the blades. The Westmark slicer is a great replacement. My only concern is finding a counter or tabletop with enough depth for the slicer to attach to securely. I found it necessary to tighten the clamp several times while slicing.

Over priced
On further use of the bean slicer, several negative technical issues have surfaced and hence the down rating.
I ordered your product 2 years ago and still haven’t received it. By purchasing direct from
Loewe I had the product in a few days. It’s a present I’m hoping it’s as good as I think it will be.
In a world that has been on a plastic high for such a long time it was refreshing to find something so benign still made the old way. The metal may have changed but that is not the point. It is the fact that this is still made with the same care and attention as it was in my grandparents era. Thank you for keeping things real...
I am so happy to have chosen this flaker. I searched a long time & checked reviews. I had a different flaker that broke & was quite disappointing since it clogged & didnt flake consistently. Having the Loewen-Meta flaker is such a different experience. It flakes easily & the flakes are perfect. Can't wait to use it more.
The instructions are in English ( Despite what others have said.) The accompanied recipes are not in English but I took a picture & got a translation on Google Translate.
Im going to say this up front. There is a learning curve to dial your grind in. This is not really shown in the instructional videos. I French press and have dialed mine in to 5 full revolutions. Note, Take the screw out of the top. Take the bottom catch off and hold the bottom of the shaft to set accurately.Another mention is clean off magnetic catch top. I can grind coffee for 2 before the water starts boiling. So it is fast depending on your grind setting. If you like Espresso I wouldn't recommend this grinder unless you want to be grinding hit and miss for an hour. This works perfectly for me feels great . Really solid. I would buy again.
It works well. I checked it against the National Weather Service (U.S.) and another instrument for accuracy. Once adjusted for elevation the barometer is accurate. I have seen it change by more than an inch as the weather changed. Typical German quality and engineering, it's worth the money.
The cheap Chinese barometers are sometimes off by more than inch of Hg as the weather changes, they aren't worth the money.
