Many people are using the sloshing A12 affordable, Kyocera, HARIO and TIAMO are also good, HARIO shanzhai Kyocera, TIAMO copycat HARIO.

The grinding core of HARIO is manufactured by Kyocera and assembled in China. The grinding core of Kyocera CM45 can grind the powder needed by Espresso. I feel that grinding espresso powder is better than special electric grinding (not the best hand mill, such as HG-ONE).

[TIAMO] Taiwan brands are almost all made in mainland China, and TIAMO's plastic is just like that.

[Kyocera Kyocera CM-45CF]: it's hard to grind, and it's very convenient to clean.

[sloshing AKIRA A Mel 13]: cast iron grinding core, grinding fine point is uniform, rough grinding is not uniform.

[Japan PROLEX]: recently, it is quite popular, grinding fine powder is better, ceramic core grinding.

[Zassenhaus Panama stainless steel hand bean grinder]: adopt double shaft fixed, steel conical grinding head, is an European classic hand bean grinder brand, fixed shaft, uniform grinding, the product is very excellent, and can even grind esp fineness.

Heller Helor 101hand bean grinder: stainless steel spindle, portable, high precision, all parts can be replaced, the price is high

Advantages of hand bean grinder

1, the price is cheap: the price of the household manual bean grinder is only a few dozen yuan, and the one with better style and material is more than 100 yuan. In the category of bean grinder, the price is the cheapest.

2. can be furnished in the house: the manual bean grinder is mostly made of solid wood or cast iron, with beautiful style and color, in addition to grinding coffee beans, it can also be used as furnishings when not in use.

3. There is an atmosphere: three or five friends get together and take out a hand mill to make coffee, in order to increase the fun of making coffee and make the coffee more atmosphere in the process of making coffee.

4. The thickness of the grinding degree is adjustable: this is a good advantage, which can be adjusted and fixed, so as to ensure that the thickness of each coffee grinding is the same. This is more convenient to control the grinding degree than the electric bean grinder.

5, wide applicability: no power supply, can be used at any time, whether at home, office or outdoors, can be used at any time.

Shortcomings of hand bean grinder

1. Inefficient and laborious: this is indeed a pity of the manual bean grinder. The electric bean grinder can have thousands of revolutions a minute, while the hand mill can only turn a hundred revolutions a minute. Therefore, the efficiency of grinding beans is still quite low. If you grind dozens of grams of coffee beans, you can really make your arms sore.

Hand grinder gives everyone the impression that it is very tired to grind. At present, coffee beans are more popular in the domestic market for medium and deep roasting, and beans are still easy to grind. You can try sitting on a stool, clamping the bean grinder on your knee, and then grinding it. It's easier to say, and you don't have to press down hard.

2, the durability is relatively poor, the adjustment scale is troublesome: the bean trough on the general manual bean grinder is screwed on the wood of the lower seat, after more times of use, the gap between the screw and the wood will increase, resulting in the screw can not be well fixed on the lower seat of the wood, compared with the electric bean grinder, a little worse.

Hand bean grinder because there is no scale prompt, so to change a thickness, such as from the normal pressure to the thickness of the siphon pot, you need to grope for adjustment, wasting some time and beans.

With regard to the relatively uneven hand grinding, mainly because of the design of the grinding plate, most of the hand grinding uses a tapered knife, which is characterized by fast but uneven grinding, and the relatively uniform grinding is parallel sharpening, but parallel grinding is also characterized by slow speed, that is to say, it takes 3-5 times longer to grind the same number of grams of powder, so hand grinding basically does not use parallel grinding.

Parallel grinding knife, you can think of the stone grinding of flour in rural areas, by adjusting the distance between the upper and lower grinding plates to control the powder thickness, high precision and uniform grinding.

Most of the hand grinding is a tapered grinding knife, which is grinded through the channel of the daughter grinding plate, because of the great difference between the upper and lower parts of the grinding knife, the grinding speed is fast but the precision is low.

The price of the entry-level hand mill is very cheap. Xiao Le suggests that if you are not sure that you will like coffee, just try not to invest too much first, and you can upgrade if you like it.

Therefore, the entry-level hand bean grinder, do not buy too expensive, I think about 100 yuan can, silver friends can ignore this part of the price, but then the high-end is mainly conical knife, the improvement of evenness is not obvious.
