Lo uso da diversi mesi e sono super soddisfatto di questo prodotto, con il quale si possono ottenere diversi tipi di macinatura. Facile da pulire, robusto e bello esteticamente.

Excellent. And great shoulder therapy every day.
This grinder is excellent. Great craftsmanship. It’s the only grinder (manual or electric) I’ve found that does a proper espresso grind.

Decent First Hand Grinder
I like this hand grinder and I still use it however it has 2 things I don’t like much about it:1. there’s no lid. why? i have no idea. I still spill beans all over my kitchen floor after months of owning it lol. wish there was even like a 3d printed cover to place on top just so i can grind without having to keep it flat.2. really hard to get the specific grind you want. It took me about 5-7 tries to get a good grind size for my pourovers (will not really work for fine/espresso grinds) and make it stick. The adjustment method is a bit weird and no way to tell how much coarser or how much finer the grind is getting, so I was guessing over and over until I got lucky. Locked it to that position and I haven’t adjusted it since.Other than that, great beginner hand grinder to quickly get 15-30g of coffee ready for the morning brew within a few minutes. I have an electric grinder now, so probably won’t get another hand grinder for a while, so this’ll do the trick for the occasional pourover.

For anyone who wants to manually grind coffee
The Skerton Plus is an excellent alternative to electric coffee grinders, which I find loud, difficult to clean, and prone to breaking unexpectedly.By contrast, the Skerton Plus can grind coffee to a wide range of grain sizes, from chunky grains suited to a coffee press, to fine grains that are better for pour-over coffee. By dint of luck, I also found that the hopper mates with 1.5-cup mason jars, so if the glass bowl ever breaks (accidents happen!), simply attach the hopper to a mason jar instead. You can buy individual replacement parts from the Hario website, and cleaning is easy: just disassemble it and go over the parts with an old toothbrush and some detergent.In the interest of setting expectations, the Skerton Plus has some limitations:* Grinding a hopper full of beans will take 5 to 10 minutes, and you’ll need to keep a tight grip on it* While grinding, periodically tighten the lug nut that holds the handle in place; if the lug nut gets too loose, the handle can bite into the shaft of the grinder (fortunately, the shaft can be replaced independently if this happens too often!)* If the hopper lid is not attached, beans sometimes jump out of the hopper during grinding* A small, clear plastic washer is used to set the minimum grain size for the mill; this washer can be lost during disassembly (fortunately, the washer, too, can be replaced through the Hario store)Within these parameters, the Skerton Plus will never let you down; I’ve been using it for over a year with no complaints. I wouldn’t recommend it for travel because of its glass bowl and many small parts, but for home use, I’m very happy with it.

My kids like taking turns grinding the beans
After learning about mold lingering in most coffee makers, I have simplified my coffee operation. I now use only a stainless steel pour over, and this lovely grinder. My counters are now clean and minimal! Everything fits in my cabinet. This grinder came with easy instructions and set up.I am a bit of a “closet” prepper, and have wanted something for a while that wasn’t dependent on electricity. I am the only one who drinks coffee in my home, so I didn’t need a large grinder. Grinding the fresh beans every day has added a few minutes to the routine, yes, but it is not difficult or frustrating. It is kinda fun and satisfying. Even my kids like taking turns helping me grind.Every once and a while a whole bean will get lodged in a way that the gears just spin instead of grind (at first I thought it was broken), but all it takes is a little agitation or gentle thump to loosen it up, and it is fine. Overall I am very happy with this grinder!

Good place to start. Definitely better options out there
I was looking for a manual grinder to replace my electric bodum blade grinder. The skerton seemed to have decent reviews and was under $50 so it seemed like a good deal, and it was. I was happy with the simplicity in its disassembly, how easy it was to clean and the consistency of the grind. However it took several minutes to grind even 20 grams of coffee. I like to brew for 2 and often grind 40 grams at a time. The extra size of the skerton plus was fantastic for the capacity but it made it kind of hard to keep a hold of while grinding. My hand and forearm would get more tired of holding the mill during the 5 minutes of grinding for those 40 grams of coffee. I have since replaced the skerton with a Timemore C2 and have seen the light. The C2 is smaller so I have to grind twice to get 40 grams but it is still quicker and less tiresome than the skerton. I gave the skerton plus 3 stars for its ease of use, quality of the grind and itâs price point but I canât say I would recommend it for others unless you absolutely need the extra capacity. Iâd reccommend saving up a little more for the timemore C2 or roll the dice on a similarly priced grinder.

ÃrÃ¼nden beklediÄim Ã§ekirdekleri kÄ±rmadan Ã¶ÄÃ¼tmesi ve espresso iÃ§in uygun boyutta Ã¶ÄÃ¼tme yapabilmesiydi. Bunu iyi yapÄ±yor. En Ã¼st modellere yakÄ±n kalitede ama onlardan 3-4 kat daha ucuz. Net olarak tavsiye ediyorum.
