Overall this grinder works very well. Couple things though.
1. Takes a long time, a lot of muscle to grind. Now I take it to my garage and stick my cordless drill on it and grind it. So much easier.
2. The internal spring is a bit short. Best to pull it out when you first get it and stretch it a bit. This helps keep the burr at the right grind level
3. Get some half pint canning jars instead of using the glass that came with it. Much easier to get your hand around it when grinding and holds the perfect amount of 2-3 days worth of coffee. The thread on the jars and the grinder do match up.
I am using 9 clicks for espresso and 14 clicks for regular drip/brew coffee.

Excellent product , easy to use and adjust for coffee ground choice

Arrived on time and as described. It takes longer to grind, obviously, than electric grinders but is quieter too. So far it works well and coffee tastes amazing!

I’ve been using this grinder now for nearly 2 years. For the money, it does a very good job. It doesn’t give the most consistent results, but is definitely superior to a blade grinder.
My biggest gripe would be how SLOW it is. If you fill it to the top with beans, you’re going to be cranking on that thing for at least five minutes, possibly more depending on the type of beans. It’s very tedious and not a good grinder if you need your coffee fast.

I obtain the coffee grounds exactly as I want them each time for each different brew method. I was concerns that it would be too strong the handle and it’s pleasantly soft and easy to grind. The mechanism is stone and you can adjust it as you need it. I love the capacity bc I can get 1 cup or few at once. I’ve been using for few months almost daily. Get it!!!

I found that this hand bean grinder was just too hard to use. The removable rubber gasket around the base is in theory supposed to help stabilize/keep the jar in place on the counter when grinding the beans. Instead I found it made it more difficult to use since the glass jar just kept slipping around and falling out of the rubber piece. A non-removable rubber base would likely function better. The other issue is that I found that the jar itself is just too difficult to grip easily with one hand. I am a woman, my hands are not that small, but I am older and starting to get some arthritis at the base of my thumbs. It would likely be ok for a man with large hands. To hold the unit with one hand and turn the grinder with the other was almost impossible. I ultimately decided to spring for the OXO electric burr grinder that I was eyeing initially, it works great. I wish I had just done that in the first place. I was reluctant to spend $100 on the OXO and instead chose a less expensive hand burr grinder. So unfortunately I wasted/spent $50 on the Hario first. My bad, should have just spent $100 instead of $150!

I’ve owned the Skerton Plus for around 4 years; the Pro is a definite improvement:
– The floppy rubber lid on the Plus lets beans spill out if you grind fast. The hard plastic lid of the Pro snaps in place, eliminating that problem.
– The nut that holds the handle in place sometimes gets over-tightened, requiring a wrench to remove it. The snap-in mechanism on the Pro’s handle is both secure and super quick to remove.
– The Pro has a nice rubber strip around the middle of the device, making it more comfy to hold.
– Adjusting the grind size is much easier on the Pro (but see below). The Plus uses a nut to adjust the grind size, very inconvenient.
– It could just be that my Plus is old, but the Pro grinds pretty fast. I can easily finish 20 grams of beans in 2 minutes or less.
But not everything is perfect:
– The Pro is harder to disassemble and clean.
– There’s a spring mechanism that goes on grinding shaft that is difficult to remove. And it looks like it could be damaged easily, so be careful when removing it.
– There’s a mechanism that allows you to adjust the grind size on the fly, but it’s made of plastic and its durability is questionable.
– The grind size is somewhat inconsistent. Good enough for me, but might be a deal-breaker for hardcore coffee fans.
– More expensive than the Plus. But the design improvements make it worth the extra.
A couple points where it’s a wash between the two:
– Zero improvement on the rubber base (for setting on a table). Both fall off way too easily. No biggie for me, though, since I prefer to stand or walk around while grinding.
– Spare parts are available (hario-parts-shop.com) but are too expensive because of shipping from Japan.
Overall, I’d reccomend the Pro and give it a 4.5/5. The Plus is more of a 4/5.

Perfekcyjny. Mielenie jest bardzo dokÅ‚adne. Rozmiar szklanego pojemnika (szczelnie zamykanego) pozwala na zmielenie kawy na caÅ‚y dzieÅ„ bez utraty smaku i aromatu. TestowaÅ‚em z kawÄ… Hausbrandt – perfekt. To najlepsze co możesz kupić za te pieniÄ…dze. Hario ma też w sprzedaży wszystkie zapasowe części do tego mÅ‚ynka – możesz wymienić same żarna kiedy siÄ™ zużyjÄ… – nie musisz kupować nowego. Rewelacja.

this is comparing it to a melita molino grinder and an encore esp AND A basic skerton,
will it grind beans, yes, but not that well compared to its newer steel bur competition. for espresso and attached to a drill is probably where its best but still only one setting will get in the ball park , for french press, its ok, for filter again only ok,
so better than a molino grinder for espresso, but worse grind consistency and fines, in anything other than espresso range,
for hand grinders anything from kingrinder will be far better and some are even cheaper than this grinder, they are more consistent, grind easier and faster and no glass that can break.
at least the basic hario skerton or mini mill is cheap, this is expensive and the grind consistency isnt better than either of them enough to pay the extra

This is my second Hario. When the first started to be inconsistent with the grind after 5+ years, I decided to “upgrade” to this one. Initially, it was hard to hold still while grinding (thinking my hand was too small). Customer service was awesome and responded quickly to my concerns. The Hario grinds well. It’s well made. And I enjoy the “manual labor”. It just takes so many turns to grind 30 grams of beans, which is fine for just my coffee, but not when there is company and they want coffee!
