I'm quite sure that purchasing your own manual coffee grinder for your kitchen hasn't been one of the priorities but I'm also confident in saying that it has somehow crossed your mind a time or two before.
Whenever you see one one of these hand coffee grinders, you must be thinking how that antique looking grinder is such a good coffee decoration but won't grind coffee well since it's old fashioned.
Well, manual coffee grinders are more functional than how it looks. In what ways?
The thing that I love most about manual coffee mills is that they don't create too much noise compared with our electric blade coffee grinders or even the burr ones.
What's good about this? Well, you won't be waking your neighbors up if you decide to grind coffee beans early in the mornings.
As for the quality of coffee bean grounds, I'd say that this is also better than your blade grinders as it doesn't heat up your beans and produce a burnt smell and taste. And we know how important this can be so you can produce a quality cup of coffee.
Looking for a vintage look and feel for your home? Hand coffee grinders are one of the better coffee decorations you will find. It can even serve as a conversation piece whenever your guests come over. That conversation can lead to grinding coffee together as you all take turns cranking the blades for a nice cup of coffee to end the evening.
Is it all good stuff with a hand coffee grinder?
These manual coffee grinders don't come with all good stuff though since you can't produce big batches when using them.
You can though, but it would require endurance and strength to make a large batch and you'd end up with muscles in your arms when you do this.
If you want to look at it in a positive way, at least you won't be grinding too much coffee beans all at once.
You not only get fresh tasting coffee beans because of the hand coffee grinders but also because you only produce in small quantities.
Whatever your reasons for getting a hand coffee grinder for your kitchen, know that it's quite nice to have one at home. You will definitely appreciate your coffee more when you try one today.
Here are hand coffee grinders with different styles and sizes in case you'd want to shop for one:
Grinding mechanism is made of case-hardened steel which is specially treated to maintain the razor sharp teeth and protect against corrosion
Releases maximum coffee flavor and aroma by first cracking each coffee bean before it is ground
Classic grind adjustment: turn the thumbwheel below the crank lever tighter (clockwise) for finer grinds; looser (counter-clockwise) for coarser grinds
