Overview
The Hario Skerton Pro is an updated version of the wildly popular Skerton, featuring an improved stabilization mechanism that reduces burr wobble and improves grind consistency. The ceramic conical burrs and glass catch jar give it a classic Japanese aesthetic, and the large capacity is unusual for a hand grinder. While grind quality is a step below premium steel burr hand grinders, the Skerton Pro offers solid performance at a budget price. It has introduced countless coffee enthusiasts to hand grinding and remains a popular entry-level option.
The Hario Skerton Pro 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 $65, the Hario Skerton Pro 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 Pro is weighing 0.5 kg, manufactured in Japan. Its footprint measures 75 x 75 x 190 mm (W×D×H).
