Know before you buy
Yes, the tool steel grinding mechanism is specifically designed to achieve the ultra-fine consistency required for traditional Turkish coffee.
The grind size is adjusted via a screw mechanism located on the mill. By tightening or loosening it, you can transition from a fine powder for Turkish coffee to a coarser grind for other brewing methods.
No, the grinder is not dishwasher safe. To maintain the integrity of the all-metal body and the tool steel mechanism, we recommend cleaning it by hand with a dry brush or cloth.
Yes, the handle is designed to be detachable, which makes the 10.5-inch tall mill much easier to store in standard kitchen cabinets when not in use.
Because this is a manual mill, it operates at a low speed that prevents heat buildup. This ensures your coffee beans stay cool, preserving their delicate oils and aromatics during the grinding process.
