Hario Skerton hand grinder

If we could give people one piece of advice to improve their home brewing, it would be to buy whole beans and get a decent grinder. Whole beans will stay fresh for far longer than ground coffee and you can make sure that the coffee is ground to suit your brewing set up. There's no need to splash out on a expensive electric machine - a good quality hand grinder will do the trick.

The Hario Skerton is the first hand grinder that we bought and we still use it today. It produces really good ground coffee and can produce enough for several cups in seconds.

If you are looking for a really easy way to improve your coffee at home, getting a grinder is a great first step.
