Product Information

If you want an electric coffee grinder that doesn’t break the bank, you’re going to love the Bellemain. All the convenience of an electric coffee grinder for the price of a manual unit. If this is you then a hand coffee bean grinder may fit into your early morning routine like a glove.

Fans of minimalist designs will love the Porlex Mini hand grinder. It also has a sturdy stainless steel cylindrical body with a detachable handle and a rubber grip that can store the hand crank. It comes in at a price point where you previously only had manual ceramic burr grinders or horrible electric grinders. However, whether you’re taking it camping, on vacation, or just generally want to enjoy great coffee away from your home, it’s well worth that jump in cost and will be one investment you’re not likely to regret. The revamped Skerton with the ‘pro’ moniker, sports a completely new burr design. These burrs have less wobble than the old ones due to improved construction, and as a bonus, it’s way easier to adjust the grind now. The Jx-model from 1Zpresso is one of my absolute favorite hand grinders. I have had this model for several years, and truly believe that it offers the best value on the market.The grinder also is equipped with bearings inside the mechanism to lighten your effort when grinding even more.

The spring loading keeps the burrs from floating around and moving all over the place while you’re grinding, which is a problem on some of the other hand-crank grinders. It is incredibly lightweight while being strong and sturdy, offers a range of precise grind settings, and a better than a reasonable degree of consistency whichever grind you’re brewing. Even with all these advantages, it’s still tiny enough to fit in an AeroPress chamber. Are you looking for a travel-friendly grinder or a home model? If you like to take your AeroPress on the road, you may want to choose a hand-operated model that will fit inside. If you don’t want to put in the elbow grease and don’t want to prioritize portability, you may appreciate the added features of an electric model. That means that for the same price you can get a solidly built hand crank grinder with excellent burrs. Or you can choose to go ultra-budget and still get a hand mill that is capable of producing a good cup. A hand crank mill is very durableIt emphasizes balance and nuance when it comes to drip coffee and espresso. It’s a lovely flavor profile. The JavaPresse Manual Coffee Grinder can be a great option for users who do most of their brewing with the AeroPress. This is largely because the grinder actually fits within the AeroPress tube, making it super portable and great for traveling.
