Overview
The Hario Skerton Plus is a budget-friendly hand grinder with ceramic burrs and a glass catch jar. It offers basic hand grinding capability at a very accessible price, making it popular with beginners and as a backup travel grinder. The ceramic burrs handle medium to coarse grinds well enough for French press and pour-over, though they lack the precision of steel burr competitors. A simple, affordable entry point into the world of hand grinding.
The Hario Skerton Plus features a 38mm conical ceramic burr set, crafted from ceramic. Grind retention is approximately 0.1g — virtually zero retention, making it excellent for single dosing.
At $55, the Hario Skerton Plus is aimed at budget-conscious coffee lovers just starting their espresso journey. Key workflow features include single-dose design (no hopper needed). As a hand grinder, it's completely silent, portable, and gives you a meditative morning ritual.
The Hario Skerton Plus is weighing 0.5 kg, manufactured in Japan. Its footprint measures 75 x 75 x 175 mm (W×D×H).
