Handground Precision Manual Coffee Grinder - Adjustable Ceramic Burr Mill for Espresso, French Press & Pour Over | Portable Coffee Bean Grinder for Home, Camping & Travel

Why design a hand coffee grinder from scratch? - Many hand grinders are difficult to use. We felt like you should enjoy every part of the coffee preperation experience, including the gring.  In order to make this happen we spent over a year trying to wrap our heads around every aspect of coffee culture and the grind process.  We interviewed hundreds of baristas, cafe owners and individual coffee enthusiasts to find out how we could make an improved version of a manual hand coffee grinder.  Our feedback told us that there were 3 main problems with most manual coffee griners. 1) Ease of Use - Most horizontal manual coffee grinders were difficult to use and inconvenient. 2) Consistency - Many grinders struggle to consistently grind beans to a uniform coarseness (particle size). 3) Setup and Tear Down - We were repeatedly told that loading manual coffee grinders and cleaning them after use was negatively affecting their coffee brewing experience. With this information and a host of peripheral survey data we set out to engineer a new kind of manual grinder.  Our goal was to make a hand grinder that was simple and elegant while being surprisingly durable and easy to use.  We wanted to create something that avoided the major drawbacks of most manual grinders.  With these goals in mind we created the Handground precision manual coffee grinder.

Manual Made Easy Handground is the first portable manual coffee grinder with a side mounted handle. Placing the handle on the side allows for a more natural motion and the ability to place your opposite hand on top of the grinder for stabilization. The handle is made from solid aluminum and complimented by a beautiful pakka wood knob. Consistent Grind Every Time Running down the center of Handground is a stainless steel axle that drives the burr mill. The axle is mounted on metal bushings in three locations to keep it stable while grinding and eliminate burr wobble. Each axle is milled on a 5 axis CNC that maintains tolerances of 0.004 inches. The combination of added stability and razor thin tolerances allows Handground to achieve a consistent grind, every time. Lock And Load The hopper opens extra wide so loading up to 100 grams of coffee is a breeze. The top locks on with a quarter twist to prevent beans from flying out while grinding. If there isn't a scale available, each measurement mark on the side of the hopper represents ~10 grams of beans. Grind For Any Brew We drew inspiration from the focus ring on a camera lens so selecting the right grind size is simple. Twist the numbered ring to setting 1 to produce an espresso grind or 8 for French Press. There is a step in between each number for a total of 15 coarseness settings. Balanced Speed & Effort At the heart of Handground is a 40mm conical ceramic burr mill that crushes coffee beans into an even particle size. The geometry of the burr is fine tuned to balance the speed which it grinds and the torque required to turn the handle. The result is that grinding takes just the right amount of effort in the right amount of time.
