Why grind by hand

Pre-ground coffee starts going stale within minutes. Grinding fresh, right before you brew, is the single biggest upgrade most home setups are missing.

• Ceramic burr, even grounds: A conical ceramic burr crushes beans to a consistent size instead of shredding them like a blade. Even grounds mean even extraction and a cleaner cup.
• Cool and quiet: Hand grinding generates almost no heat, so the beans keep their aromatic oils. And there is no motor screaming at 6am, just the soft sound of the crank.
• Rust-free and odorless: Ceramic will not rust and holds no metallic smell, so every batch tastes like coffee and nothing else.
• Takes it anywhere: No cord, no batteries. Pack it for the cabin, the campsite or the office and grind fresh wherever you land.

Care & maintenance

A wood body lasts for years when you keep it dry. Moisture is the only real enemy.

• Brush, do not soak: Use a dry brush to clear grounds from the burr. Wipe the wood body with a barely damp cloth, then dry it right away. Standing water warps wood over time.
• Deep clean monthly: Lift out the burr, brush it thoroughly and wipe with a dry cloth. If coffee oils build up, use a damp cloth on the metal parts only, then dry fully before reassembly.
• Oil the wood yearly: Rub a drop of food-grade mineral oil into the body to keep it from drying out. Let it absorb overnight, then buff off the excess.
• Store with the drawer cracked open: Leave the collection drawer slightly open between uses to air out any trapped moisture.
