Overview
The Weber Workshops HG-2 is the pinnacle of hand grinding. Featuring oversized 68mm conical burrs — far larger than typical hand grinders — it delivers grind quality rivaling the best electric grinders while maintaining the meditative ritual of hand grinding. The massive burrs require surprisingly few turns per gram, making the grinding effort manageable despite the espresso-fine setting. CNC-machined from solid blocks of aluminum and stainless steel, the HG-2 has essentially zero retention and a beautifully tactile adjustment mechanism. The build quality is extraordinary, with tolerances measured in microns. For the home barista who values the hand-grinding ritual but refuses to compromise on grind quality, the HG-2 stands alone at the top of the hand grinder hierarchy.
The Weber Workshops HG-2 features a 68mm conical burr set, crafted from steel. Grind retention is approximately 0.0g — virtually zero retention, making it excellent for single dosing.
At $1,650, the Weber Workshops HG-2 is aimed at uncompromising enthusiasts and professionals who want the absolute best. 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 Weber Workshops HG-2 is weighing 2.8 kg, manufactured in Taiwan. Its footprint measures 85 x 85 x 220 mm (W×D×H).
