If you love freshly brewed coffee, and you want to brew the best coffee you can at home, you need either a manual coffee grinder or an electric burr coffee grinder. This isn't an optional piece of equipment for the home Barista, it's just as essential as the coffee brewer or machine itself. Early models consisted of two hard, smooth stone surfaces grinding against each other to crush and pulverize a variety of kernels into meal or flour. There’s plenty of online speculation that this is the case, but little in the way of scientific evidence to support these claims. It weighs 7.25 pounds. When fully assembled with the flour canister on the side, the entire mill has a height of 12 inches, a depth of 8.5 inches, and a width of 16.3 inches.

The micronizer chamber is constructed of surgical stainless steel. It is self-cleaning and permanently lubricated for reliable and maintenance-free operation. Made in the USA, the container is constructed of tough and durable, BPA-free Eastman Tritan copolyester and is conveniently marked with cup and ounce measurements. Wills, B.A. (2006). Mineral Processing Technology: An Introduction to the Practical Aspects of Ore Treatment and Mineral Recovery. Vol.7th ed. Amsterdam, Boston, MA. p.157. ISBN 0750644508. Steel burrs won’t chip or flake, and the flour they produce is always free of residual grit. Plus, they won’t glaze over from the oils in seeds and nuts, making them the material of choice for producing nut flours and butters.

Bake at 375 degrees F., for 45 minutes. (You may need to adjust the time. I live at about 4500′ elevation, most things take longer to cook here.)

Grinding / milling your own flour is ‘work’ (your hand and arm cranking round-and-round). It does take a little while to process wheat berries into flour. Some mills are better at it than others. However the results will be unbelievably delicious and healthy! These hand grinders do look the part and yes they do make a good conversation piece. There were quite a number of buyers, predominantly people who had retired, who found using one of these was quite a therapeutic thing to do.

The 1000-watt, 1.8-horsepower motor is powerful and self-lubricating, and the impact grinding heads run cool to maintain important nutrients. With this grinder, these observations are from use combined with research, as I actually have this hand grinder, this was the first manual coffee grinder I ever bought. The finer a flour is ground, the more time and energy are required, and the greater the amount of heat that will be generated.

As it comes, out of the box, Skerton is great for a fairly wide range of grind sizes, but if you're really into your cafetiere brewing you may want to look at the modifications you can make to this grinder to allow you to achieve a more consistent grind size at a coarser setting, such as the blue horse upgrade kit. The mill weighs only 8 pounds, and measures 10 inches in height, 8.5 inches in width, and 7.75 inches in depth.

Hand-cranked or manual mills require no external energy source, and give a fun, hands-on experience for grinding small amounts of coarse flour. If you're grinding for Cafetiere, drip, or even Aeropress since these days people are tending to grind quite a bit coarser for Aeropress, a grinder like this should be fine. Another grinder from Japanese coffee equipment manufacturer Hario, the Mini Mill Slim Plus is a popular pairing with Aeropress, due to its more compact stature and lighter weight than its larger sibling the Hario Skerton.
