Hario Skerton Pro Coffee Mill

We are happy to offer this hand crank coffee mill from Hario - the Skerton Pro. (I guess there is some debate about the name - some sell it as Skelton, some Skeleton. But the box says Skerton, so we are sticking with that.) The Pro has some great improvements over previous models - an improved hand crack, redesigned jar for better stability, and a hard plastic lid that locks into place. The added burr stability makes for a far more consistent coarse grind. Best of all, grind adjustments are greatly simplified - you can now adjust the grind directly below the burrs, rather than taking apart the entire hopper. 

The Skerton mill has ceramic burrs and a very sturdy construction. The grind quality is very good, and the mill grinds efficiently, fairly quickly, but not too fast. Like any manual mill it takes some elbow grease to crank out a grind, but the workout is worth it!

It has a conical burr design, so it can do a range of grinds from espresso to a decent French press grind. The top part is plastic, the bottom is a glass jar. The top acts as a lid, so technically you could grind and then store the coffee in the base; but who would do that? It does make a handy travel grinder - especially if you remove the glass part and grind directly into a brewer, like a cone or an Aeropress. Tom has a video posted on YouTube about such a set up.

If you want to use another glass container to screw onto the hopper, we found that glass jars with a 2-3/4" diameter opening fit nicely. 

Dimensions: 5.5"h x 7.5" (with handle in place) x 3.5"
