This sleek update of Hario's classic Skerton coffee mill features easier grind adjustment and a fresh, contemporary design. Ceramic burrs shave (rather than crack) the coffee beans for a consistent grind without producing heat that can destroy coffee's delicate essential oils. Hand-cranked coffee mill grinds beans to your desired texture, from superfine espresso to coarse for French-press brewing. Ceramic conical burrs ensure a precise, uniform grind. Ergonomically designed crank handle detaches for compact storage and easy travel. Detachable base holds whole coffee beans; seals with the included lid to keep coffee fresh. Nonslip rubber base keeps the mill in place during grinding.
