This grinder is small and sturdy! Its compact size and metal body makes it ideal for travel. It features a non-slip bottom that helps to stabilize the the mill while grinding. Most of our manual coffee grinders use burrs made of ceramic - conical ceramic burrs transfer less heat and shave coffee beans versus cracking them like blade grinders. This process also provides a more consistent grind that can easily be adjusted and set for repeat use.
