Digital Pen's mill is a forgery. I received it as well, but it arrived in a brown box with no bean lid or jar lid and no mention of Hario. I was suspicious, so I placed a second order (not just fulfilled by Amazon). The real mill came in a Hario box, and the handle, glass, and mill all had the Hario logo on them. The real Hario has higher-quality plastic, ceramic, glass, and metal details. This seller should be avoided at all costs.
That's correct! I just put it to the test on a Ball mason jar, and it worked perfectly: https: http://twitter. com/alexsaintx/status/431459550689263616 com/alexsaintx/status/431459550689263616 com/alexsa
Selected User Reviews For Hario Ceramic Coffee Mill - "Skerton"
Why do I own two hand grinders is a long story. One of the characters is a genuine Hario. The other is a duplicate of the original. One is effective while the other is ineffective. Except for the ceramic grinder, they are identical. The grey Hario is a fantastic choice. The white clone is unable to grind at all - It'll just crush you. If you get one with white ceramic, throw it away.
I was on my third grinder when I bought the Skerton Pro. Prior to the Skerton, I was using the JavaPresse, which is much less expensive. br>br>I decided to try the Skerton in the hopes of saving time and effort, as the JavaPresse was slick and I was concerned I was injuring my wrists. br>br>At first, the Skerton appeared to be a vast improvement over the JavaPresse, but as its internal parts wore out, it became increasingly difficult to crank, and the grind consistency deteriorated. The ceramic burrs are extremely durable, but the plastic parts do wear out after a year, and the shaft has more play in it. I used the Skerton primarily for French Press when I first started using it. I always had fines in my coffee, but I assumed that was the nature of the French Press. Later on, I switched to a three-cup Moka Pot and a Hario V60. Although both of these methods kept the fines out of the coffee, the inconsistency had an impact on the flavor. However, using the finer grinding settings, especially with lighter roasts, causes the grinder to jam, increasing the physical effort required. I used to have a $40 electric burr grinder before I got the Skerton and JavaPresse. At that price point, I would argue that the Skerton is superior to electric grinders. br>br>After purchasing a six-cup Chemex and realizing that I was in serious danger of injuring myself while grinding, I went back to a $100 electric grinder. The Skerton is no match for the new electric grinder, which produces a much more consistent grind at a lower price point.
Depending on what you're looking for, I believe there's a better deal out there. A high-level overview: This is a great option for the price if you want to hand grind beans quickly, but I would recommend looking elsewhere if you want a very consistent grind. br>br>It's difficult to use this grinder on a table because the rubber bottom doesn't do enough to secure it, and it's also awkward to hold if you choose to lift it up while grinding. It has a fast grind speed, but I don't care if the grind is inconsistent, which it is. br>br>I purchased this as a possible upgrade to my older, less expensive javapresse. I used a bunch of old beans to calibrate the grind settings to match what I liked from my javapresse when it first arrived. However, I noticed right away that it wasn't as consistent as the cheaper grinder. It just didn't taste as good after brewing coffee with hario ground beans. After a week or two of tinkering with it, I'm still not convinced. I'm definitely pickier than the average person, but if you're looking into hand grinders, you're probably in the same boat as me. It is not, in my opinion, worth the money.
I thought it was fantastic at first, as did the majority of the reviewers. Not so much anymore after the fourth cleaning and reassembly. Unless I tighten the grind adjustment screw to a very fine setting, as for espresso, it loosens during grinding. I use a pour over, which requires a medium grind, but the screw loosens and chunks appear in the grind. During grinding, I have to make constant adjustments. This is a product that I do not recommend.
" The added stabilizer plate, which is supposed to stabilize the burr and make it more consistent, especially with coarser grinds, prompted me to purchase the "plus. " I was disappointed when I received it. The hole in the stabilizer plate is far too large to be of any use, and the burr rocks back and forth, producing erratic grinds. I've included two photos that show how far the rod can move within the stabilizer plate. I wouldn't have been upset because the price isn't outrageous, but it's frustrating because it's advertised as better.
