Hario Skerton Pro Ceramic Coffee Mill review

The Hario Skerton Pro is the cheapest burr grinder on this list at $58.50 from Hario USA. It uses ceramic conical burrs, which Hario says shave beans and transfer less heat than blade grinders, and it improves on the original Skerton with easier, more repeatable grind adjustment. Hario lists a 100 g grounds capacity, a heatproof borosilicate glass bowl made in Japan, an aluminum handle and a size of 167 x 95 x 195 mm. It ranks last because the TIMEMORE C3 costs $20.50 more on sale and uses stainless steel burrs in an aluminum body, and because several recent buyer reviews on Hario's own page say the rubber base comes off easily. For a cheap first step from pre-ground coffee it still does the job. We compared documented features and published prices and did not run grind tests.
