The Hario Skerton hand grinder is virtually identical to the Kyocera CM-50CF - and a larger grinder than the Kyocera CM45 or the Porlex.

The burr set is Kyocera's highly regarded conical, ceramic design, meaning that not only is the grind quality excellent, but the whole assembly is easily cleaned and is dishwasher safe.

The grind speed is typical for a small hand grinder, meaning that you do need some elbow grease to grind for espresso - but that's all part of the 'ceremony' of coffee making.
At the coarser end of the grind scale, it's better to call it as being on the finer side of a plunger grind.

The bean hopper is open at the top making for very easy access.The top part of the body is plastic, the bottom is glass. A screw on cap is provided should you want to store beans in the container while travelling. A silicon base for the glass container is also provided, which when fitted, gives a non-slip surface to the bottom of the grinder while you are cranking.

The Hario Skerton is backed by a full 12 month warranty and ongoing support.
