Know before you buy
While the SK40 is capable of grinding for various methods like French press or pour-over, its stepless adjustment mechanism is specifically engineered for the precision required for espresso. If you frequently switch between vastly different brew methods, you may find the stepless dial less convenient than a stepped grinder.
The tilted base uses gravity to help grounds exit the grinding chamber more efficiently. Combined with the included bellows, this design significantly reduces the amount of coffee retained inside the machine, ensuring you get out exactly what you put in.
The grinder features an anti-static design to help manage mess, but like most grinders, you may still experience minor static depending on the humidity of your environment and the roast level of your beans. Using a light water spray on your beans—known as the RDT method—is an optional step if you want to eliminate static entirely.
The hopper holds approximately 40 grams of coffee beans. This capacity is designed for single-dosing, meaning it is intended to hold only the amount of beans you plan to grind for your current session.
The SK40 operates at a relatively low RPM of 400, which keeps the noise level quite manageable compared to high-speed grinders. It is designed to provide a quiet, premium grinding experience suitable for home kitchen environments.
The SK40 stands 14 inches tall with the hopper attached. We recommend measuring the clearance between your countertop and the bottom of your upper cabinets to ensure it fits comfortably in your preferred spot.
