Anyone seen this selling here?

Scale maybe?

Can try Beans Depot at Parklane or Atria.

Top up a bit and get a Hario Skerton.

Then find some rubber/silicone ring to wrap the top portion for better grip.

This grinder has design fault. Won't last long on medium to light roasted beans.

I've only had Hario Slim, Hario Skerton and Handground. Slim failing within 6 months1 month. Skerton still kicking after 1 year.

There's Skerton selling for less than RM190 on Lazada. Keep hunting.

Bought it on 12th Nov, photo taken on 29th Nov.

Picture paints a thousand words. Hexagon (or penta) bit rounded off, lose grip. Manufacturer wouldn't honour warranty claim. So I went ahead and bought a Skerton.

Handground was a Kickstarter project. The handle is vertical instead of horizontal. Easier to adjust grind size and more consistent ground due to its design. Surprisingly, grinds faster than Skerton does, despite less effort.

OTOH Skerton's hopper is made with slippery plastic. Always slip when holding it, hence very tiring during grinding. Don't want to hold the glass portion, as it might stress the threaded area.

Just checked Skerton Pro, combined the best of Mini and Skerton. Plastic hopper cover, better than silicone, as silicone is dust and coffee ground magnet. Easy grind size adjustment, like the Mini. Added silicone ring around the hopper for better grip! No idea how's the inside of the handle that goes over the stainless steel shaft. Might have the same stripping problem like the earlier Mini. Good improvements overall, should've got it right on the 1st version instead of 3 iterations.

I'm still hunting for Hario V60 Drip Thermometer.

There's coffee roadshow this week @ 1U? I saw them preparing (or removing?) the booths.

Can grab some beans, I guess.

A piece of advise, if you're going for dark roast beans, cheapo Hario Slim grinder will do the job well. If you prefer medium roast beans, invest more for a Handground grinder. Otherwise, use machine.

I've broken Hario Slim (stripped the tread) and Hario Skerton is 1/2 dead. Reason, cause I prefer medium roast for my V60.

Not the +. That time + variant not out yet, if I'm not mistaken.

Hence Hario Slim is not recommended if you're not using it for dark roasted beans. Sure die like mine.

So far my Handground is doing an excellent job. Just bulky, not meant for travelling.

Is there detailed photos from website? I've not seen those + series of grinder from stores (I used to check out Hario stuff in Parkson )

Handground cost me RM400. It was a Kickstarter project came to live, by coffee enthusiasts, sponsored by coffee enthusiasts. So they know what they want from a grinder. Go online and check it out. There are a few cafe offering it. Could drop by for a demo. My first impression of using it was, "Wow, this grinds faster than my Skerton"

It's still hexagonal design. Should've made it square instead.

I doubt it would last too. Haha.

I'm using V01 for 20g ground with 200g water. It's fine. Can brew up to 40g ground anyway.

I've seen such suggestion on YouTube. But I don't have power drill. Definitely saves a lot of time. 🤣

Carbonate it, taste even better!

Bump.

At which cafe you had your coffee? Let the pro here go survey look c look c.

This is quite contradictory. Firstly, you preheated the dripper. If the dripper has best heat retention, then it won't suck up all the heat.

This is just based on my own experience. If your water flow is determined by the design of the spiral, you might be doing it wrong. Cause obviously you have flooded the dripper beyond the brim of coffee. Just soak the ground, don't flood it. Hence the coffee could drip out at the bottom.

Flow rate really depends heavily on the coffee ground. Grind size, meh. Some ground expands quite a bit and jammed up the dripper.

Just my 2 cents.

Tell us how's the stain on your dripper after using it for 2 months.

That's why I prefer glass, or ceramic.
