A Comparison of Premium Hand Grinders

Manual grinding has exploded in popularity in the last five years, with dozens of premium hand grinder options on the market now that rival or best some of our favorite electric grinders. Of course, with so many models to choose from, it can be daunting to compare the features and benefits of each - and that's where we come in. As we encounter, test, and use new hand grinders (and add some to our catalog!), we take copious notes on how they all stack up.

This video takes a look at some of the most popular premium hand grinders available today. Steve will walk you through each model, grouped by brand, and give you a sense of where each one might be placed among the rest. We cover features, best use cases, strengths and weaknesses, all so you can rest easier when it comes to shopping for the best grinder for you.

** A correction to the overview of the Kinu M47 Phoenix: Steve misspoke and said that the Phoenix was made of aluminum when he meant to say that it was made of steel. If you would like a more in-depth overview of the Kinu M47 Phoenix, you can watch our video on that grinder here:
