Knock Aergrind

Freshly ground coffee always tastes better. Unfortunately, most of us don’t have room to have a full-blown Barista-style set-up at home and this is where the hand-held coffee grinder comes in. But half the problem with a hand-held grinder is the consistency of the grind, something quite hard to maintain with a hand-held. Adjusting the cogs is usually a fiddly process and you inevitably end up covered in coffee fines! Thankfully, those chaps at Knock have put a lot of thought in to this and this is their latest offering.

The dial to change the grind is on the top of the grinder for starters so, no mess! It’s not stepped either so it’s very easy to get just the grind you want and the dial is laser etched in to aluminium so no chance of the detail being rubbed off as time goes by or a sticker gradually peeling off as I have known to happen on other grinders. The lid is magnetically sealed (love that ‘snap’ feeling when you put it on!) and the knob is made from lovely polished Walnut. All this adds up to a grinder that is not only consistent in its daily grind but is also completely plastic-free. As well as the effort gone in to the Aergrind itself, it has been designed to work with the Aeropress and is a great addition to it, you can even get a discount on one when you purchase the grinder from their site!

All the parts that make up the Aergrind are locally sourced in Scotland where Knock are based and even the brush is wooden. The packaging is also completely recyclable, all in the name of sustainability. You can’t knock them for effort and they certainly have held true to their long-term sustainability goal. Ticks all the boxes, definitely worth a purchase. RRP £149
