Re: [RBW] Re: Hand-Cranked Coffee Grinder Recommendation

I have a skerton and the glass jar is very thick glass and it is overall, pretty heavy duty. I rarely use my Aeropress so I don't know what size grind you will be shooting for, but the Skerton does a good job for finer grinds. It's not so good for courser grinds, like French Press. On

Re: [RBW] Re: Hand-Cranked Coffee Grinder Recommendation

Thanks again for all of your comments. After doing way more research than seems necessary, I [think] that I have decided to purchase a Hario Skerton - Pro model. This seems to offer the best combination of performance and durability at a cost that seems fairly reasonable. It is a bit larger than

Hario Skerton! Was $40 new, been going strong for 7 years now. On Sunday, April 21, 2019 at 8:05:47 AM UTC-7, SeanMac wrote: > > Hi all, > > I will be living in a hotel for three weeks this summer. As a coffee > geek, the thought of being forced to drink hotel coffee during this time is > a bi

I'm a big fan of the Porlex Mini and tour with one along with an AeroPress. A couple of my favorite features: 1.The quantity of coffee beans it holds is the perfect amount for my taste using the AeroPress. 2.The Porlex Mini fits inside the AeroPress (minus the handle), a clever space-saver.

Re: [RBW] Re: Hand-Cranked Coffee Grinder Recommendation

Thanks for your suggestions. It seems like the Porlex mini gets a lot of love, as does the Hario. I'm going to ponder this a bit more before making a final decision. I guess I am a bit torn trying to decide how compact of a unit to purchase. The Porlex mini is small enough that I can easily car

[RBW] Re: Hand-Cranked Coffee Grinder Recommendation

I agree with the Hario suggestion. Best I have found for the price. I have the Skerton. My suggestion would be to go for at least the plus level. On Sunday, April 21, 2019 at 11:05:47 AM UTC-4, SeanMac wrote: > > Hi all, > > I will be living in a hotel for three weeks this summer. As a coffee

I use a Hario Mini Slim grinder with an AeroPress in my hotel kit, it works very well and costs less than half as much as the Porlex. I only use mine 15-20 days a year, so didn't see the point in spending more. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW O

[RBW] Re: Hand-Cranked Coffee Grinder Recommendation

I have used the Porlex mini for 2 years now and it still works fine. Metal burr grinders last longer and work better and in the long run are cheaper, but require a lot of cash up front. Cheaper grinders wear out quickly, and can be harder with light roasts especially before your first cup. If yo
