For passionate coffee lovers, the joy of brewing coffee is about connecting with every step of the experience, from picking the right blend of beans to savouring the final product. For many home baristas, coffee hand grinders add an extra touch to the occasion. 

The Hidden Benefits Of A Manual Coffee Grinder

Using a coffee hand grinder has many hidden benefits. For starters, they’re quieter as there are no motors, meaning you can create your morning pick me up without waking up the rest of your household. In addition, because they don’t have motors, hand coffee grinders can be more reliable, there are fewer things to potentially break on them, and they are less likely to be superseded by a newer model.

Many home coffee grinders also enjoy the opportunity to savour the moment as they grind their own beans. In a world where things sometimes feel non-stop, and everything is based on the speed of delivery, taking a moment to use a hand coffee grinder provides a moment of calm in our busy day-to-day lives.

Rhino Small Hand Coffee Grinder

If you’re just beginning to dip your toe into making fantastic coffee at home, a coffee hand grinder is an inexpensive way to start experimenting. The Rhino Small hand Grinder starts at £39.00 (less than two weeks’ worth of takeaway coffees) and is designed to work with an AeroPress, reducing mess and fuss.

Comandante C40 MK4 Nitro Blade

Hand coffee grinders are great space savers too, requiring less space on your worktop. Their smaller size makes them easily transportable, allowing you to avoid bitter coffee while you are away from home or visiting relatives known for their terrible brewing skills. And you can get the same premium grind from a manual burr grinder as you can from an electric one. The Comandante C40 MK4 Nitro Blade, for example, enables you to lock your preferred grind setting in place, giving you the same results every time you use it.

Brewista X Series Hand Coffee Grinder

Hand grinders can add style and sophistication to your kitchen too. We love the sleek modern look of the Brewista X Series Hand Grinder. It's not just about the looks though. This grinder has been expertly designed by Brewista's Q Grade certified development team. Make the perfect cup of coffee using a wide range of settings of coarseness for drip filters, espresso, and French presses. 

Etzinger ETZ-1 Hand Coffee Grinder

Grinders are also a feat of engineering with the Etzinger ETZ-1 setting new standards in manual grinding. .. Sporting a fresh design available in two versions (Trim & Regular), retractable crank w/ ergonomic handle, magnetically attached lid and collection cup as well as a single-piece absolute vernier scale, this one is not to be missed.

So, if you’re looking for a quiet, environmentally-friendly (no electricity used) way to savour every step of your coffee brewing process, a manual coffee grinder might be the perfect solution for you.
