Hario Skerton Manual Ceramic Coffee Grinder
Hario Skerton is the king of small grinders. It's the perfect replacement for an automatic grinder and when the power is out, you'll be glad you got manual. It works quickly and evenly and is very easy to store and maintain.
This large-capacity manual grinder with a glass body will allow you to grind up to 100 g of coffee at once. It's equipped with ceramic grindstones (burrs) and the anti-slip base makes grinding stable and comfortable. What's more, the glass body can be utilized as a storage for all your ground coffee.
Instruction Manual:
- Testing: Before grinding a full amount of coffee, test a small batch to check and adjust the grind size (see instructions below).
- Measuring: Use around 10-12 g of coffee per cup. Ideally, add 1-2 cups worth of coffee beans. If you overfill the body, the handle will be harder to turn and the beans may start falling out. If you need more coffee, gradually add more beans during the grinding process.
- Grinding: Firmly hold the grinder and start turning the handle clockwise.
IMPORTANT NOTICE: Never turn the handle counter-clockwise (left). You risk permanently damaging the grinding stones.
Adjusting the grind size:
Coarseness can be adjusted by turning the inner gear.
Turning clockwise ↻ = Fine grind (espresso, moka pot, AeroPress).
Turning counter-clockwise ↺ = Coarse grind (pour-over, drip coffee, French press).
Adjustment Procedure:
- Unscrew the safety screw (counter-clockwise).
- Remove the handle and nut.
- Set the grind size by turning the adjustable gear.
- Fix the gear in place by screwing on the metal nut.
- Assemble the handle and secure with the screw.
