Hario Ceramic Coffee Mill Mini-Slim PLUS – a slim hand grinder for life on the go
Slim enough for your backpack, light in the hand, and with a few unhurried turns of the crank, freshly ground coffee is ready – wherever you happen to be.
The Mini-Slim PLUS is Hario's compact travel grinder and the successor to the Ceramic Slim. We carry Hario at Coffee Coaching Club.
What makes the PLUS version special
The ceramic conical burrs grind evenly, stay sharp for a long time, and don't heat up the grounds. The PLUS version has an improved hexagonal connection between crank and burrs – that makes grinding smoother and less effort. Grind size adjusts in clicks. The slim shape fits in any bag and sits securely in the hand.

Who it's for
For anyone who wants to grind fresh on the go – while travelling, at the office, while camping. For larger amounts at home, the Skerton range from our hand grinders is a good fit; anyone wanting an espresso-fine, very consistent grind should take a look at the Comandante.
What goes with it
An AeroPress or a V60 NEO 02 for life on the go, filter papers from the Hario collection. Beans like the round Nutty Delight or the fruity Wild Peach.
Frequently asked questions
How much coffee does the Mini-Slim PLUS hold?
It's kept compact and designed for one to two cups per grinding session – ideal for life on the go. For larger amounts, the Skerton range is a good fit.
Is it suitable for espresso?
It's made mainly for filter, French press and pour-over. Espresso-fine, very even grinding is more consistent with steel conical or electric grinders.
What's new compared to the Ceramic Slim?
The PLUS version has an improved hexagonal connection between crank and burrs, which makes grinding smoother.
Roastery tip
On the road, it's best to grind right before brewing – that way the aroma stays fresh. Easygoing and round is what you get with Nutty Delight, bright and fruity with Wild Peach. That's our recommendation, one of many.
