Overview
The Kinu M47 Classic is a German-engineered hand grinder that excels at espresso grinding thanks to its stepless adjustment mechanism. The 47mm conical burrs are made from Black Fusion hardened steel, delivering exceptional uniformity with very low fines production. The stepless design means infinitely fine adjustment — critical for espresso where a tiny change can significantly affect extraction. The build quality is outstanding, with precision-machined stainless steel components and a satisfying tactile weight. The M47 Classic is often recommended as the best hand grinder specifically for espresso, where its stepless adjustment and burr quality combine to produce outstanding shots.
The Kinu M47 Classic features a 47mm conical burr set, crafted from steel. Grind retention is approximately 0.1g — virtually zero retention, making it excellent for single dosing.
At $320, the Kinu M47 Classic is aimed at serious home baristas who understand the importance of grind quality. Key workflow features include single-dose design (no hopper needed) and stepless grind adjustment for infinite precision. As a hand grinder, it's completely silent, portable, and gives you a meditative morning ritual.
The Kinu M47 Classic is weighing 0.9 kg, manufactured in Germany. Its footprint measures 55 x 55 x 205 mm (W×D×H).
