Hario Ceramic Coffee Mill Skerton Pro

The most flavorful coffee relies on freshly ground beans—as soon as coffee beans are ground, exposure to air and water begins to dull the flavor—but most grinders are electric, clunky and expensive. We like Hario’s Skerton Pro Ceramic Coffee Mill, a compact, hand-crank burr grinder perfect for both travel and home use. It adjusts to any grind size and its crank rotates smoothly, unlike those of most hand grinders. The ceramic burrs in this grinder transfer less heat, so the tool stays cool while shaving the beans rather than cracking them like some grinders do. Plus, your beans will stay contained in the chamber without bouncing out, while the screw on lid allows you to bring your ground coffee on the go.
