Hario Ceramic Skerton PLUS – Hand Grinder with Ceramic Conical Burr
A quiet turning motion, the consistent crunch of the beans, and a homogenous grind growing in the glass container – the Skerton PLUS brings this to your counter by hand, completely without electricity.
The Ceramic Skerton PLUS is the improved version of the classic Skerton hand grinder. We carry Hario at Coffee Coaching Club.
What sets the PLUS version apart
The ceramic conical burr grinds evenly, stays sharp for a long time, and doesn't heat up the grounds – ideal for filter, French Press, and pour-over. The PLUS version stabilizes the upper burr with an improved holder: This reduces play during rotation and makes the grind more consistent. The collection container is made of glass.
Grinders are subjective – there is no single best. For espresso-fine, very consistent grinding, electric grinders or steel conical hand grinders like the Comandante are usually more consistent. This is our observation, one of many.

Who it's for
For anyone who grinds by hand and wants a stable, easy-to-read classic with a glass container – especially for filter and French Press. If you want to grind espresso-fine and very consistently, check out the Comandante or electric coffee grinders.
What goes with it
A brewer like the V60 NEO 02 or an AeroPress, filter paper and a gooseneck kettle from the Hario collection, as well as scales from the Normcore range. Beans like the rounded Nutty Delight or the fruity Wild Peach.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference from the original Skerton?
The PLUS version has an improved holder that stabilizes the upper burr. This reduces play during rotation and ensures a more consistent grind.
Is the Skerton PLUS suitable for espresso?
It is mainly designed for filter, French Press, and pour-over. Espresso-fine, very consistent grinding is achieved more consistently with steel conical or electric grinders.
What is the difference from the Skerton Pro?
With the Pro, the grind adjustment is located below the burr and the crank is reinforced. The PLUS is the more affordable option with a stabilized holder.
Roastery Tip
Grind a bit coarser for French Press, a bit finer for Pour-Over – the ceramic burrs provide a wide, well-controlled range for this. Rounded with Nutty Delight, fruity with Wild Peach. This is our recommendation, one of many.
