AeroPress has launched a new manual coffee grinder to match its iconic ground coffee maker – and if you're the impatient kind of coffee drinker or need a bit of help with the grinding you can attach a power drill for super-speedy, freshly ground coffee.
The new AeroPress Manual Coffee Grinder is a smart-looking thing, with an all-metal construction and titanium-coated mechanical burrs, and like the AeroPress it's a very compact and portable cylinder – so much so that you can store it inside your standard AeroPress coffee maker.
AeroPress Manual Coffee Grinder: key features and pricing
The Manual Coffee Grinder features an aluminium hopper with 25g ground capacity for single-dose bean-to-cup brewing. The burrs come with a lifetime guarantee and Easy-Grind technology, which AeroPress says delivers "exceptional precision" without tons of effort thanks to the extra-long handle, which folds away into a slim groove on the side when you're done grinding.
There are 60 adjustable grind settings and the default is factory set to medium-fine for "optimal AeroPress compatibility".
Although this is a manual grinder, there's an optional power drill adapter that does exactly what you'd expect. I can't think of a single reason why I'd want to grind with a power drill but if I had one of these I'm pretty sure I'd do the drill thing every single morning just to start the day with a smile.
More sensibly, this looks like a really good option for travel, camping and other adventures where you can't exactly take a bean-to-cup machine with you.
The AeroPress Manual Coffee Grinder is available now with a list price of $199 / £199 (about AU$372).
