Know before you buy
The seven-fluted design increases the number of grinding teeth and total surface area compared to traditional burrs. This allows for more efficient grinding and improved particle consistency, which is essential for achieving a balanced extraction.
Yes, the stepless adjuster provides infinite control, meaning you aren't locked into preset clicks. This is ideal for espresso, where small adjustments are often necessary to dial in the perfect extraction time.
The stabilized shaft, paired with precision steel ball bearings, eliminates burr wobble during operation. This ensures that the gap between the burrs remains perfectly uniform, resulting in a highly consistent grind size.
The Hiku features an anti-static design that helps prevent coffee grounds from clinging to the interior. This makes the cleaning process much cleaner and more efficient than standard manual grinders.
The hopper has a 50g capacity, which is more than enough for most standard pour-over recipes. The ground collection bin is even larger, holding up to 100g, so you won't need to empty it mid-grind.
The body is crafted from CNC-machined aluminum for durability, while the internal components use high-grade stainless steel. It also features an elegant walnut handle knob for a comfortable and tactile grip.
