Know before you buy
The Stainless Steel burrs are excellent for standard daily use, while the Titanium burrs offer increased durability and hardness, which helps maintain sharpness over a longer period of time.
The Normcore V2 is optimized for pour-over and French press brewing. While it features 24 clicks per rotation, it is best suited for medium to coarse grinds rather than the ultra-fine settings required for true espresso.
The hopper has a capacity of 25 grams, which is enough to brew a standard large mug or a small batch of pour-over coffee.
Yes, the grinder is designed for easy maintenance and includes a cleaning brush and air blower. Note that the parts are not dishwasher safe, so you should clean them manually to preserve the materials.
It is highly portable, weighing just under a pound and standing 6 inches tall. It also comes with an EVA carrying case to protect the unit while you are on the move.
The ergonomic grip is designed to provide better leverage and stability, which reduces hand fatigue when grinding harder, light-roast beans.
