hario skerton pro
quiet, precise manual grinding for the patient home brewer
the hario skerton pro is a hand-powered ceramic burr grinder built for home brewers who want consistent grounds without electricity. at around $54.50, it offers a dial-based grind adjustment under the burrs, a glass catch bowl, and a strengthened crank arm over its predecessor. it handles pour-over and french press well, can grind fine enough for espresso, and holds up to 100g. grinding is slower than modern competitors, and the glass bowl needs careful handling.
