Key Features

  • Stabilizing Plate - The big change from the original Skerton, the Plus adds a plate that helps to keep the lower burr steady while grinding.
  • Ceramic Burrs - Precisely shaped and turned for coffee grinding, these burrs make short work of beans without requiring too much force.
  • Ball Jar Thread - Included catch jar too small? Swap it out with any regular-mouth ball jar.
  • Clean and Clear - The Skerton Plus is easy to disassemble (with no tools) for cleaning and maintenance.

Overview

A light refresh to an old classic, the Hario Skerton Plus aims to improve on the time-tested grind of the original design. While the plus maintains the original Skerton's iconic shape and ergonomics, the addition of a stabilizing plate helps keep the grind consistent at coarser settings. You'll still get the same sharp ceramic burrs and ball jar compatible threading—just with better performance for French press and pour over brew methods.

It's pretty good. The grind is a little irregular, especially if I turn too quickly. The ergonomics of the thing make it a little annoying to hold to grind my usual 45g if beans in the morning. That said, it's pretty reliable and is exactly what I was looking for.

OK

The Skerton Plus grinder is OK. It is easy to grind, and the hopper and base hold sufficient coffee. But it doesn't hold a candle to the Skerton Pro, which costs only a few dollars more and is MUCH easier to set the grind. The soft plastic top on the Plus is also kind of tacky. We had a Pro already, and tried the Plus for our cabin, but we weren't satisfied. Seattle Coffee Gear should offer the Skerton Pro.

Well Made and Compact

Very cool little grinder, works well with its own jar or on a mason jar for Lots of fresh grind coffee. Compact little powerhouse of a grinder!

Merely OK

Grind is not even, and it's hard to adjust compared to my other hand grinder. I am disappointed. It's not bad, but it's not great.

I like it!

Very serviceable little hand grinder. Tough to grip a bit, but it?s expected with price. Grinds fine enough for a pressurized portafilter.

Inconsistent grind, buy something else

Glass Chipped on First Use

During the first use, the top edge of the glass chipped after being hit by the top plastic reservoir. Aside from the small thing, the entire thing appears to be very well constructed and high quality for the price. I'd just be wary of the hardness of the plastic as compared to the glass when putting the top on to use it.

Ineffective Update

Hario took some clues from the aftermarket when updating the Skerton but clearly didn't know what they were doing. One thing the Skerton never did well was produce uniformly coarse ground coffee. The stabilizing plate is supposed to address that by keeping the burr on center, but the hole in the plate is much too large and the burr wobbles around. Pretty useless. Will buy an aftermarket stabilizing plate and replace Hario's ineffective part.

Disappointed in uneven coarse grind

I really wanted to like this grinder. It's a good size and weight, is mostly thoughtfully designed, and while the adjustment mechanism is a bit finicky, it's not difficult to adjust. However, either mine is defective or the stabilization piece that Hario put in this modification of the original Skerton doesn't work -- because the ceramic piece does not lie flat at the bottom of the grinder, and therefore consistently produces an uneven grind that I am unable to fix. I have used this for finer grinds for moka pots which is mostly okay, but for coarser grinds for my Chemex this is really not okay. Disappointed in this product and would not recommend if you need coarser ground coffee.

Very nice grinder, but laborious.

This is a great burr grinder. But everyone is right, it takes me 3-4 minutes to grind 25g. It’s worth it if you have the time and don’t need to grind more than a few cups. One other note: I’m not sure it grinds fine enough for espresso, but it’s great for pour over. Would totally buy it again!

Love it!

It is not the fastest grinder I’ve owned but I overlook that for all the pluses. I own two so I have a backup for parts as the ceramic burrs will eventually wear out. It has the most even grind of any grinder I have owned and my favorite plus is it is so easy to clean. No more instant rice trying to clean out metal grinders. Wash by hand daily & once a week I dissemble it & fun through the dishwasher. My second one even has a new part to help stabilize the grinder. Highly recommend!

Great value hand mill

This mill is a great value for the quality. Coarser grinds are not the most consistent but the unit is sturdy and easy to setup, disassemble, and clean. Grinding enough for a French press carafe in the morning is a 3 minute affair and the unit is perfect for travel/camping.

kicka** hand grinder!!

This thing is amazing! This thing is super well built, inexpensive, and very practical. The particle size is very even and makes for a nice extraction when doing pour over and french press. My one issue is probably with the variation in grind sizes, I find that this is only good for one specific size for drip and one for french press, and everything else is a bit of a mess. But honestly for the quality level of the product and the price, I'm willing to overlook that stuff. PRO TIP: Do not use this for making coffee in the morning on workdays if you can help it, it takes me 3-4 minutes everyday to grind my 25 grams of coffee ( I timed it ).
