Know before you buy
The 58mm flat vertical burrs are designed to produce a highly uniform particle size, which significantly reduces fines. This consistency leads to a cleaner, more balanced cup of coffee with better clarity of flavor compared to smaller or conical burr sets.
Yes, the Pietro is engineered to handle a wide range of grind sizes. It performs exceptionally well for both fine espresso settings and coarser filter methods like pour-over or drip coffee.
The anti-static features significantly reduce the amount of coffee grounds that cling to the chute and catch cup due to static electricity. While some minor dusting is inevitable with any grinder, this design makes the workflow much cleaner and minimizes waste.
The Pietro is designed with an ergonomic handle and efficient gear ratio to make manual grinding smooth and manageable. While it requires more effort than an electric grinder, the vertical burr alignment helps keep the grinding motion fluid and consistent.
