Is Choosing a Hand Grinder a Good Idea?

Hario Canister

Price: Listed at $64, Amazon price $49 (March 2015)

Practicality and Design:

Hand grinders have existed for decades, with companies like Zassenhaus and Peugeot manufacturing some excellent classic designs (unfortunately, we couldn't test and evaluate these products). These modern implements made by Hario evoke an era when hand grinders were essential kitchen tools in many kitchens. The Hario Canister's glass bottle design at the bottom is a quirky design, and the method of adjusting the grinder is similar to the Skerton and Acrylic, but its dark metallic appearance makes it look better than other Skerton and Acrylic models.

This grinder weighs approximately 795 grams or 28 ounces, and it's more stable when placed on a countertop or table for use. Its weight makes it less suitable for travel carrying. The large capacity allows it to grind more coffee beans at once. Hario designed a plastic cover at the opening to prevent coffee powder from flying out and causing waste, but it often falls off during grinding.

Evaluation:

For those who want to place a vintage-designed grinder on their countertop, this is a good choice. This grinder is actually not suitable for comparison with other grinders because the Skerton design is easier to hold, the Lido is more impressive on the stand, and the Aryclic has a better appearance design.

Knowledge Extension: Grinder burrs are generally divided into flat burrs, conical burrs, and ghost teeth
