I use the Hario hand grinder and it is by far the best grinder for anyone that is price conscious. It is significantly less expensive that other ceramic burr grinders. The only draw back is that you must manually crank it and this takes time. That said, a single serving of coffee takes only about 2 minutes to grind so it really isn't that bad unless you are preparing a larger number of servings at once.
- bch 12y ago> The only draw back is that you must manually crank it... I think of this as a feature. A serious drawback though is to be careful when handling -- an errant bump of the glass globe against the ceramic burrs means (at best) a chip in the glass.
- scmoore 12y agoMy housemate pointed out that the Hario grinder has the same threads as a mason jar, so chipped glass might not be a big deal. But damaging the burrs probably means buying a new grinder.
- malandrew 12y agoYup. I found out this by accident one day. Very cool backup if you break the glass bowl (which I haven't done... yet).
- elwell 12y agoI've tightened down a drill over my Hario and ground it up real fast. Not advised for grinder longevity, but perhaps a remedy for RSI.
