HARIO Skerton Pro Grinder

Other reviews I read mentioned uniformity issues on the coarse setting but due to the popularity of this unit and large bean capacity I thought it would be an improvement over my rotary grinder. This isn’t the case and I regret not having purchased something higher end.
Otherwise compactness, construction and usability are quite good and I suppose I’ll try some other brewing methods to see why it can do. The coarsest setting is still not coarse enough for a French press and is uneven but dialing it down tighter does produce a more consistent grind. I’m not thrilled with the purchase but that’s on me. I think overall it seems like a nice grinder at a fraction that takes a fraction of the space an electric unit would have.

This is a great entry level hand grinder, it works as it should and gives a great first exposure to grinding your own beans. Something to keep in mind, the burrs are no longer in production (at least not that I can find) so it has a limited life of about 2 years regular use before you have to either purchase a new one or look elsewhere. The Timemore C2 is a great upgrade option once you hit that point. Happy brewing!

I've had this grinder for a couple weeks now. I went from using a cheap electric spinning/whirly blade grinder to this one. Moving to a burr grinder is a no brainer if you're a coffee enthusiast! Why didn't I make the leap to a burr grinder earlier? This is great for pour overs. A few points to note:

- This grinder is best used when placed on a countertop. If you're looking to grind while standing away from a table this isn't the best fit for you.
- It doesn't come with a small brush to clean out the grinds. My $20 electric grinder came with one but this one doesn't. Nothing a toothbrush can't fix though.
- Overall, I would recommend this grinder.

Excellent grinder, I like the plastic bottom so it doesn't slip when grinding on a surface!

Well built grinder - perfect for everyday use. I use mine mostly for pour overs, but it has an adjustable nozzle so that you can grind to different sizes. Would recommend!
