  • Does a great job!
Style: Skerton
I'm long overdue for writing this review. I bought this in 2014 initially for my time living in Africa, with the intention of eventually buying an electric grinder. However, I have yet to follow through due to their much higher price (for a quality product). I've had this one now about 8 years now and other than a period of about a year and a half, I've used and still use this on a daily basis. I grind up 18 grams of beans per mug of coffee using the pour over method. Some days I'll do a single cups worth, other days I'll do 2 cups worth. Grinding for a single serving is no problem, for 2 servings can seem a bit much but still worth it. It's definitely far quieter than any electric grinder would be. I've included a photo of what I've found to be the most ergonomic way to hold this unit. Something else I've noticed about the ease of grinding is, the darker the roast, the easier it is to grind. Probably the biggest complaint I have about this grinder/mill is changing the grind setting. Other than that, I believe this is a great grinder/mill and I highly recommend it. ... show more

  • Exceptional home espresso grinder
Style: Skerton
You are probably reading a bunch of reviews to decide if you want this coffee mill. This one is going to be focused around using it to help make espresso at home, so let me get the rest of its uses out of the way first. It is my opinion that this grinder really does its best overall job grinding for pourover filter coffee. It does an acceptable job at grinding everything, but its performance in the coarse range for French press leaves a lot to be desired as far as consistent grinding sizes go. A well-regarded small specialty internet company called Orphan Espresso sells an after-market modification you can use on this mill to help it do a better job in the coarse grinding range. My plan is to buy another Hario Skerton at some point and do the OE modification on it, because once you do the mod, the mill does not do fine coffee well and I primarily use this mill for espresso. You should watch a YouTube video on how the Hario Skerton works, and there are plenty out there. Currently, the mill comes with a hard plastic lid to turn the lower jar into a storage container and a soft silicone lid for the upper hopped to keep the beans in as you grind. Both work well. It also comes with a small transparent plastic washer which I lost the second time I took this machine apart. So, I went off to the hardware store and I got three items: an M8 flat steel washer to replace the plastic washer, an M6 lock washer to keep the handle on securely when I grind by hand, and an M6 hex nut to convert this mill into an electric grinder using with my drill and metric socket set. An M6 hex nut takes a 10mm socket. Again, that's M8 flat washer, M6 lock washer, M6 hex nut, 10mm socket. I got these modification tips from reading reviews, and all of them work well. But good grief! All that modification for a hand grinder? Why not just buy an electric one, even at the higher cost? And that brings us to the number one reason to buy this coffee grinder: you can't clean the burr mechanism of an electric grinder as easily and as thoroughly as you can clean the burr of this grinder. There have been mixed reviews on how well this mill does espresso. There is a ceramic conical burr in this thing that is manufactured according to precision specs (as long as you don't get a dud or a knock-off, see other reviews). However, there is a difference between how well the burr performs at the time of purchase and how it does after a few weeks of grinding, as with all grinders. When you buy this, you can expect it to be able to do a really nice, really impressive Turkish grind at its tightest settings. After a few weeks of breaking it in, the burr mechanism no longer consistently produces as well in that range, and you need to tighten the burr down a bit more than you used to before you can reproduce the espresso grind you got when you first started using this machine. You have about four consistent settings to do espresso grinding with after the burr is broken in. Before loading the beans, tighten the burr assembly completely and let it out by rotating the wheel five notches from the starting point. That's what I normally use. On high humidity days when my AC isn't running, I let the burr out one notch more. High heat and low humidity days and I'll go finer. Different beans and different roasts will call for different settings. We're talking about minuscule differences, but they make a difference if you want to chase your perfect espresso shot. Three or four settings for espresso isn't much when you look at the many levels high-end electric grinders claim to produce well. With a manual grinder, I initially worried that it would be difficult to reproduce the same grind from morning to morning after disassembling the mechanism. It's not an issue in the espresso range. After the burr break-in period, I started noticing that more parchment flakes were getting through the burr and into my coffee, just as they do with all burr grinders. The size of the rest of the particles remains consistent. Again, what makes this mill exceptional for home use is that you can quickly take the mechanism apart and wash the entire burr under running water as thoroughly as anyone could ask. When you only grind small amounts of coffee each day, over time coffee oils tend to get into the mechanism of every burr grinder, oxidize, and stink up the first grinds of the next morning, adding a bitter flavor to the first espressos of the morning. So if you only make a very few espressos every morning, as you do at home, it's an annoying problem. All that work and expense to make quality espresso at home, and the best you can do is bitter swill every morning? This grinder eliminates that problem, which common to all conical burr grinders and most common to ceramic mechanisms with rougher, more absorbent surfaces. It's this last feature that sets the Hario Skerton apart for me, and these days, my espresso game at home is at an entirely new level because of it. ... show more

  • FANTASTIC FOR ESPRESSO!
Style: Skerton
I am a true coffee enthusiast. I love coffee in all its forms but especially as espresso. (My Italian/Sicilian roots, I'm assuming.) I've owned many coffee grinders over the years for my espresso machines -- including some VERY expensive coffee grinders. In all that time, I haven't discovered a coffee grinder that works better than this one! Pros: 1) The locking nut on this unit provides absolute grind-size REPEATABILITY, every time. If you brew espresso, you know how important that is. 2) The conical burr set provides great grind-size UNIFORMITY. Again, very important to a good espresso brew. 3) The shape of the burr cutting surfaces "SHAVES" rather than crushes the beans. This helps to better retain the oils in the grounds until extracted in the brewing (which results in a better tasting cup). 4) The unit uses a CERAMIC BURR. That means they don't dull as quickly as steel, won't rust and should last close to a lifetime. 5) The PRICE of this unit is amazing for the quality of the grind. 6) The DESIGN of the unit is very well thought out. A) A silicon, non-slip cover for the bottom glass keeps the grinder on whatever surface you're using. B) The soft silicon top cover keeps beans from jumping out when you grind while easily "peeling" back to add more beans. C) The handle is kept in place with a round nut (unlike that "stainless steel" travel grinder with the same ceramic burr) so that it doesn't fall off during grinding or round the corners of the shaft. D) The bottom container is made of glass which prevents off-flavors from developing from ground coffee contact with plastic or metal. Further, glass containers are impervious to "static cling" that keeps some of the grounds in the container or shoots them off to the nether regions of your counter. E) It comes with a lid for the bottom container in case you want to store ground coffee (but shame on you if you do). 7) The CAPACITY of the grinding hopper will hold enough beans for many dbl shots of espresso. Because the grinder is ceramic, you won't get any metallic "off-flavors" if you store unground beans in the hopper. (BTW, storing your beans in an "air-tight" plastic container won't keep them any fresher than keeping them in the storage hopper of a grinder. And, if you don't roast or buy fresh beans at least once a week, you're missing out anyway.) 8) Its a HAND-CRANK grinder. That means it grinds slow and cool and won't alter the flavor of your beans. Depending on your level of athleticism, it will only take about 30 seconds to grind your coffee for a dbl espresso shot. Heck, your machine isn't even warmed-up enough to brew good espresso at that point! Cons: 1) Its a HAND-CRANK grinder. Some people are too hurried to take the 30 secs to a minute required for grinding the coffee. If you like coffee but don't like the process, you probably don't care if your espresso is spot-on or just a little off. In that case, buy an electric grinder such as a blade (cheap), flat burr (more expensive), or conical burr (even more expensive) grinder. These options will range from $10 on sale for a blade grinder to $1500 or more for a super-duper, electronic, large ceramic burr, dosing grinder. 2) The bottom container is GLASS and the burr is CERAMIC. Both materials are brittle and if you drop them they may BREAK. (On the other hand, if you do drop them, that probably means you've already had so much coffee that you're developing the shakes and you should stop, anyway. Instead of a con, think of this as a pro ... a kind of self-preservation feedback mechanism!) 3) The grind consistency on the LARGER GRINDS (French press, etc) is not nearly as good as the espresso grind consistence. On the other hand, grind consistency for those methods of coffee making aren't as exacting as espresso. 4) The grind size is NOT INFINATELY ADJUSTABLE. That being said, infinite adjustability is more a marketing tool than an espresso making requirement. This grinder is plenty adjustable. To the extent that the “perfect” grind size for your beans is in between the adjustments on this grinder, you can easily compensate by adjusting tamp pressure, grounds volume, etc. (Besides, repeatability of tamp pressure for the vast majority of people is inconsistent enough to render a more adjustable grind-size irrelevant, anyway.) So, those are my thoughts. If you're looking for a coffee grinder for espresso that produces an exceptional grind at an unbelievable price point, grab this grinder immediately! If you just want to push a button and don't care about the quality of the grind, get a $10 blade grinder. If you want to push a button and get grounds as good as come from this $35 grinder, be prepared to spend $1000 - $1500. ... show more
