Hario MSCS-2DTB Skerton Hand Coffee Grinder, Glass

Pros: easy to use, ground coffee container, consistent grinding, looks nice. Cons: grinding large amount of coffee require effort, the anti-slip sleeve at the bottom is too loose. The coffee grinder is great and you can smell and taste the difference in using freshly ground coffee. It takes about 2 min to grind enough beans for a double shot; I wouldn't recommend it for grinding a large amount of coffee but definitely ideal for small quantities and beans variety. The size of the coffee can be adjusted and it is pretty consistent, with only a couple of larger bits every now and then (picture for comparison: commercial coffee on the left and the freshly ground on the right). The container for the ground coffee is an added bonus as it keeps the coffee fresh for a couple of days. The sleeve that goes at the bottom comes off very easily, but it doesn't impact the grinder performance.

Build quality is great. Quite compact and easily stored. Really nice touches like the ceramic burrs, rubber non slip base for the glass jar, lid for glass jar and adjustable coarseness. Been using for a while now and it's been faultless and shows no sign of issues. The lid on the jar has kept any left overs really fresh so is obviously air tight. Compared to other coffee grinders I've had this is by far the best.

the good- my arm muscles are getting really, really toned seems reasonably well made excellent grinds produced the bad- it takes 200+ turns to grind enough coffee for my little "6 cup" (1 mug!) moka pot the rubber grippy base is useless for holding in your hands, absolutely refuses to stay in place I'm now a coffee snob who can taste the difference between fresh ground and not

Pay a bit more for a quality product, grinds well and very even across the grind { something cheaper ones do not do } neat and well made, love the idea of the storage area { easy to grind for more than one brew at a time } with its own lid to keep the ground coffee fresh , grinding mechanism seems positive, bites well and positive.

I use this for freshly grinding coffee beans for my Moka Express/Dama Nuova pots and for my Gaggia Classic expresso machine and it does the job perfectly, quieter and for much less outlay than a decent electric burr grinder would cost you. It takes a couple of minutes to get enough ground coffee for a 3-cup moka pot/double expresso and maybe 4 or 5 minutes for my 6-cup Moka pot but the grind is consistent enough every time. It does take a bit of effort and occasionally the hopper doesn't feed beans without a little shake but it doesn't wake the neighbours like a decent electric burr grinder does! It's also quick and easy to dismantle and clean unlike electric burr grinders.

Good grinder for filter coffee, not so much for espresso. It's not the easiest to change the grind setting, but it works if you have a benchmark of where you were (it doesn't have numbers, so if you change beans it's almost like starting from scratch to find the right grind size for new beans). Also not the most comfortable to grind.

I bought this after watching a video on how to hack this product with a hand drill, basically you change the top nut for a 10mm nut on the handle screw, it’s pretty easy to do and the nut only cost 20p. Then you can use an electric hand drill to turn the handle, and it works a treat. Plus I’ll be able to take it camping which you can’t do with the electric burr grinders. I have since purchasing this seen smaller electric burr grinders but I think this was still the better option as you get a decent sized burr at a lower price.

I bought this to be able to grind coffee fine enough to use in my pre-2015 Gaggia Classic coffee machine. It does this very well and on the finest setting the grinds are ideal. It is well built and has clear instructions. I have limited my review to 4 stars because it can only really be used for small amounts of coffee. The glass hopper will contain enough coffee for 2 or perhaps 3 cups, but the manual grind process takes a significant amount of time. A cup for yourself and perhaps your partner would be ok but you wouldn’t want to be using it to freshly grind beans at a dinner party, for example.

Hace su cometido con mucha eficacia. Es el nuevo modelo mejorado, más estable, con una pieza metálica añadida que le da más firmeza a las muelas. Consigues diferentes grados de molido, ahora bien si lo quieres fino terminarás con agujetas en los brazos. Solución:le quito la manivela, le pongo una tuerca, y con una llave de vaso acoplada a un taladro hago el molido como si fuera eléctrica. Un saludo

Muito satisfeito!! De fácil manuseio.

Awesome coffee grinder! I use this for my french press and it works perfectly. It might take some experimentation to get the right grind coarseness dialled in but once you do the grinds are very consistent. Something to keep in mind is that this is not the fastest way to grind your coffee... A 1/2 cup of beans takes a few minutes of constant grinding and switching between tired hands. I only use it for my weekend coffee so it's not a problem for me but I might look for something else if I was going to use it every morning. (hint: creative use of a nut, a few washers and a drill with a socket bit make grinding infinitely easier but probably won't be great for the life expectancy of the grinder...) Definitely a very well-built and handy tool. I wouldn't hesitate to buy again.

As expected

Ich LIEBE diese Mühle! Der Mahlgrad lässt sich individuell einstellen, was superpraktisch ist (ich nutze den gemahlenen Kaffee für eine French Press). Die Mühle ist leichtgängig, v.a. wenn man die gummierte Unterseite auf eine Tischplatte, o.ä. stellt und sie dann zum Mahlen gut festhält. Insgesamt eine sehr hochwertige Verarbeitung und absolut ihren Preis wert. Darüber hinaus kann man mit dieser Kaffeemühle einen kleinen Beitrag zum Umweltschutz leisten, wenn man ein Gerät ohne Strom benutzt. ;o) Last, but not least trainiert man gleichzeitig, während man die Bohnen „mühlt“ & hat dann schon ein bisschen was von dem Kuchen abtrainiert, den man vielleicht gleich zu seinem Kaffee genießen möchte. ;o)
