Porlex Mini Coffee Hand Grinder, Stainless steel, Metal

Product Information

The Rok coffee grinder looks pretty promising with its bold, metal exterior. The manual espresso maker from the same company is a remarkable gadget, so it’s easy to assume that its grinding sibling is equally impressive. That’s not the case, unfortunately. If you’re looking for the best all-around manual grinder, look no further. You can brew all types of coffee with this model, and you’ll enjoy every second of it.

With this handy grinder, everyone from cyclists to digital nomads can grab their gear and embark on a trip without missing out on freshly ground coffee. Maintenance – 5/5 There are a bunch of nifty features on the Q2. For instance, the wooden handle knob is magnetic, so it can be taken off for more comfortable transportation. Since you will have a minuscule amount of retained, stale grounds, you can be sure that that the next dose you grind, will taste fresh. A hand grinder can help you make delicious coffee

That means that for the same price you can get a solidly built hand crank grinder with excellent burrs. Or you can choose to go ultra-budget and still get a hand mill that is capable of producing a good cup. A hand crank mill is very durable This grinder is most suitable for manual brewing, but can also handle espresso, even though it’s a bit more work compared to grinders with bigger burrs and longer handles.

Another differentiating factor here is that the Porlex Mini comes with a rubber strap. This serves as a storage solution for the crank lever but many users find it also assists with grip during the grinding process. Though typically sharp, high-quality burrs are found in the most expensive automatic grinders, the small but mighty Porlex Mini boasts a set of excellent ceramic burrs. The first thing that surprised me when using the grinder was how fast it was. It’s very noticeable and something I wouldn’t have expected. The main argument for getting the grinder, though is that the combination of build quality, size, consistency, usability, AND the price is just phenomenal.The consistency of the grinder is impressive. You can use it for everything from Turkish coffee and espresso to pour over and French press. But alas, with newer offerings like the Timemore C2 and 1Zpresso Q2, formidable grind quality, compactness, and fit and finish can now be had at a comparable price point. The antistatic plastic of the grounds bin is made out of a very soft kind of plastic. Within a year the screw thread had gotten so loose that the jar would no longer fit. Though some may expect the stainless steel body to make for a heavy grinder, the Porlex Mini is actually quite lightweight. In fact, at just about 250 g, it weighs even less than the Hario Slim, which is made entirely of plastic.

For example, the grinder produces a more consistent grind than the Baratza Encore, often recommended as the best option for beginners. Conclusion Let me tell you this quite frankly; when you first start your journey into the world of specialty coffee, you’ll hear a lot of superstition when it comes to grinders. I think the thing that impresses me most with the early use of this product is the “action” of the crank arm. Without coffee inside, it is glass-smooth with almost no friction at all. I hold the body of the grinder in one hand, give it a slight wiggle, and the crank arm can spin around at 150+ RPM if I wanted to. Along with that, the dual bearing axle system keeps the burrs very steady in their housing with very little wobble, if any.

With that said, even out of the box, the grinder produces a very nice looking grind from the moka pot level on up to press pot. For the full review, we’ll be putting it through sieve tests to find out the particle size ranges, but early on, it’s looking pretty decent, except for espresso. I’m not sure if the plastic is something you need to worry about – besides for aesthetic reasons. It seems well made and is not exposed to excessive force during regular operation.

The Q-model from 1Zpresso has the benefit that it fits inside an Aeropress, which makes it suitable for travel. However, as a daily workhorse, I’d probably take the C2 due to the bigger capacity and increase in speed. Hario Skerton is one of the most iconic hand grinders. This is the new and improved “pro” version of the classic model. The burr set is made from sharp stainless steel and goes through medium roasted beans like a knife through butter. The Porlex Mini Mill is the ultimate grinding tool for the travelling coffee enthusiast. Though skeptics may not have thought it possible, the designers at Porlex managed to build a lightweight, precise, durable, and consistent grinder that is still small enough to fit inside an Aeropress. While the size definitely means sacrificing capacity, it’s well worth it for campers, digital nomads, and holidaymakers who want guaranteed delicious coffee on the move.Read on as we break down the key considerations when choosing between the Porlex Tall and the Porlex Mini Coffee Grinders.
