manual burr grinder wanted

[Shane Smith]

I'm looking for a compact, high quality hand powered coffee grinder for use without mains power.

Any recommendations?

When I travel, I use a traditional brass spice grinder. I've had one for 30 years and never a problem with it. I also have a second one with larger capacity, which I've configured for Arabic coffee. It takes along time to hand grind beans to sucha fine powder, but it definitely works, so it would even work for espresso.

Here is an example.

Check camping/backpacking stores. There are a couple of compact grinders that should be perfect for you. As an example, look for the JavaGrind Coffee Grinder by GSI (Amazon carries it).

Good brands are Zassenhaus and Lodos .

I have written a page about coffee grinders on squidoo. There are some recommendations about manual coffee grinders in there so you may want to check it out.

I use a Zassenhaus Knee Mill for all my travel grinding & for my home French Press grinding.
