Porlex Mini Coffee Hand Grinder, Stainless steel, Metal

Product Information

But I think a few things need to be addressed before the Rok Coffee Grinder can be a top competitor. Did you know that if you remove the rubber sleeve this grinder fits perfectly into the bottom of an AeroPress?

Sometimes you may not even be able to brew the coffee if the grind is too fine as water will not be able to pass through the coffee grounds, this is common in stovetop and espresso coffee. You can pick one up for pretty cheap today and whether you’re after one for a trip or just to try out some freshly ground coffee at home like me they are certainly great value for money. The Porlex Mini Coffee Grinder’s II body is shorter than its tall cousin, holding 20g of coffee beans and allowing it to fit snugly inside an Aeropress.s., azonosítószám: 27082440, sütiket használunk a weboldal működőképességének biztosításához, és a beleegyezéseddel weboldalunk tartalmának személyre szabásához is. Simply select the number of cups you’re going to make and the grind setting and let the Bellemain do the rest. Indeed, rather than become too hot, the ceramic burrs of the Porlex Mini will stay cool throughout the grinding process, leading to a fresh, exquisite cup of coffee. It is too big to fit inside an Aeropress plunger (the Porlex famously can do that); it isn’t ideal for espresso (though a burr upgrade will fix that).

For even larger capacities, consider the Skerton Pro, reviewed in this post, or the HandGround, discussed here, both of which have a 100 g capacity. The burrs of the Timemore C2 are at a typical size at 38 mm, and many other grinders have burrs of a similar size.The recognisable glass-bottom grinder is the older larger brother of the mini-mill and one of the selling points of the Hario Skerton coffee grinder is the large 100g capacity of coffee, which is great for folks brewing more than one cup. You regularly brew more than 4 cups of coffee at once –The drawback to the Porlex Mini is its limited grinding capacity, which means it takes a long time to grind enough for multiple cups. There's no need to worry about the top of the grinder rolling away like a boulder in Indiana Jones - Porlex has redesigned the adjustment nut so that it stands up proud and tall on its own!

The idea behind the surface is that it gives some extra grip, but it doesn’t make much difference in daily life. Should its use be reserved for when you’re on the road, or can it be used as an everyday coffee grinder?The founder of the company, whom I talked to briefly, is Taiwanese, but the production is based in China. It’s a rather new company, but it has quickly gained a reputation as being one of the best bang for buck brands when it comes to non-automatic coffee grinders. But you’ve probably already heard all the hype about these grinders – you just want to know which size is best. Manual coffee grinders are usually constructed of either stainless steel or plastic while there are also glass, wood and ceramic coffee grinders available.

If you invest in a Porlex Mini hand grinder, one thing you won’t be short of is grind settings, and, thanks to an intuitive and easy-to-use dial for changing between them, you won’t have any hassle choosing the perfect grind size you need. These grinders can go through thousands of pounds of coffee with no issues and should withstand a lot of abuse.I say this because there are a host of electric coffee grinders that use blades instead of burrs which effectively blend the coffee instead of grinding - this is a one-way ticket to butcher all the hard work that has happened prior to the coffee beans arriving in your kitchen. This serves as a storage solution for the crank lever but many users find it also assists with grip during the grinding process. However, given the sharpness of the burrs and the way the grinder fits in your hand, it is not too hard to grind out another batch if you are brewing more coffee at once.
