Kinu M47 Traveler – hand grinder for travel with 47 mm conical burrs
The steady crunch of the beans, the scent of freshly ground coffee – in a hotel room, at the office or at the campsite. According to the manufacturer, the Kinu M47 Traveler is the lightest and most travel-friendly Kinu hand grinder.
All-metal construction in aluminium and stainless steel, 47 mm conical burrs, stepless grind adjustment from Turkish coffee to cold brew and a compact travel case in the box.
Features
Light and solid
The grinder is built entirely from metal: aluminium and stainless-steel parts in a compact design, so it stays travel-friendly and sturdy. Kinu states a weight of 630 g.
Precise and repeatable
The adjustment is stepless and easy to reproduce – for Turkish coffee, espresso, filter, cold brew and anything in between. One division on the adjustment wheel equals 10 microns (0.01 mm). Because the adjustment is stepless, you can stop anywhere and make adjustments as fine as 2 microns. All-metal internal parts and a construction based on the Morse taper principle keep the burrs aligned and self-centring.
Fast and effortless grinding
A solid aluminium thumb stopper gives you grip while grinding. The large 47 mm conical burrs grind quickly, whatever the brewing method. Four ball bearings in the grinder body and handle knob ensure smooth running. The lightweight aluminium catch cup screws firmly onto the grinder body.
Compact travel case
A compact travel case is included. The grinder travels safely inside it.
Burr sets are like engines in cars: subjective, there is no objectively best one. Our opinion is one of many.

Tip from the roastery: For espresso on the go, we roast Cozy Chocolate and Nutty Delight – full-bodied, with chocolate and nutty notes. Maximum body without acidity comes from Very Nutty, and if you want to discover something fruity, you'll find it in Wild Peach. Other beans work just as well. That's our recommendation, one of many.
