Hario Skerton Pro – Hand Grinder with Ceramic Conical Burr
The crank turns smoothly and without wobbling, the beans grind evenly through the ceramic burr, and homogeneous grounds collect in the glass container – by hand, entirely without electricity.
The Skerton Pro is the revised version of one of Hario's best-known hand-grinder classics. We carry Hario at Coffee Coaching Club.
What Sets the Pro Version Apart
The ceramic conical burr delivers an even grind, stays sharp for a long time, and does not heat the grounds – ideal for filter, French Press, and pour-over. Compared to the original Skerton, on the Pro the grind adjustment sits below the burr, making it easier and more stable to set; the reinforced crank and the optimized rubberized table pad give more grip while grinding. The collection container is made of glass.
Burrs are like car engines – subjective, there is no single best one. For espresso-fine, highly consistent grinding, electric grinders or hand grinders with a steel cone such as the Comandante are usually more consistent. That's our observation, one of many.

Who It's For
For everyone who wants to grind by hand, appreciates a larger glass container, and mainly brews filter and French Press. Those who want to grind espresso-fine and very consistently should look at 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, plus a scale from the Normcore range. Beans like the round Nutty Delight or the fruity Wild Peach.

Roastery Tip
Ground by hand, fresh into the filter – a nice, calm routine for pour-over and French Press. It turns round and sweet with Nutty Delight, bright and fruity with Wild Peach. That's our recommendation, one of many.
