hand coffee grinder

Ground coffee is always a compromise between convenience and quality. Since coffee loses about a third of its aroma shortly after grinding, and the correct grind size is a key factor in coffee preparation, it's worth investing in a coffee grinder. If you brew coffee infrequently and tend to brew smaller batches, a hand-held coffee grinder might be the right choice for you.

Its compact size and lightweight make it ideal for travel. The durable material makes it easy to clean by hand or in the dishwasher.

Combined with the stylish CS3 Max hand grinder from Timemore, you have the perfect set for enjoying fresh coffee at home or on the go.

Hand coffee grinder from Rhinowares

If you're just getting into coffee, rarely brew large quantities, or travel frequently, a hand coffee grinder might be the right choice for you. This gives you flexibility and—depending on the model—doesn't require a large investment. The Rhinowares hand grinder offers good value for money.

It features a ceramic conical burr grinder, while the body is made of stainless steel. The grinding level is easily adjusted using a screw at the bottom of the grinder. The grinder can be used for almost all brewing methods, although it doesn't grind the ground coffee optimally for espresso. All in all, the Rhinowares hand coffee grinder is a truly impressive product for all filter coffee brewing methods, including moka pots.

Hand coffee grinder from Comandante

Hand coffee grinder from Comandante

The Comandante C40 MK4 is a particularly robust and precise hand coffee grinder, the result of years of research in our German factory laboratory. Thanks to its high-quality materials and unique grinder suspension, the coffee grinder guarantees exceptionally neutral flavor. The unique Nitro Blade grinder is made from a special stainless steel with a very fine martensitic crystal structure. The coffee grinder is manufactured without aluminum, instead using food-safe materials such as wood, glass, stainless steel, or high-quality BPA-free polymers.

The grind setting is finely incremented, allowing you to grind coffee beans precisely for every preparation method. The click-lock mechanism prevents accidental adjustment of the grind setting during grinding. The homogeneous ground coffee results in a particularly high grind quality, yet it's particularly easy to handle. Thanks to the extra-hard, sharp grinding teeth and two stainless steel ball bearings, you hardly need any force for the grinding process. All this has made the Comandante the hand coffee grinder of choice for competitive athletes and discerning home baristas.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the advantages of a hand coffee grinder?

The biggest advantage of hand-held coffee grinders is their flexibility. If you're on the go a lot or don't want to miss out on your favorite coffee at the office, then a handy, manual coffee grinder is a good choice. Furthermore, most hand-held coffee grinders cost significantly less than electric grinders.

What should you look for when buying a hand coffee grinder?

The functionality for adjusting the grind setting is particularly important. This doesn't necessarily have to be infinitely adjustable, but it should at least offer as many options as possible. The locking or locking of the grind setting should work reliably and easily.

When choosing a grinder's shape, consider what you'll be using it for most. Not all manual coffee grinders are easy to transport. Slim, lightweight hand grinders with a carrying case are better than wide, heavy models.

How long does the grinding process take with a hand coffee grinder?

This varies depending on the model, its gear ratio, and the selected grind size (the finer, the longer). In general, grinding 18g of coffee for a cup of filter coffee (300ml) or a double espresso takes between 20-60 seconds. With high-end models like the popular Comandante, the grinding process takes less time than with entry-level models.
