Elegant Hand-Powered Burr Grinders

Kanso Coffee's Hiku is Precision-Engineered

Kanso Coffee's Hiku grinder is a serious piece of brewing equipment for coffee aficionados who know what they want. The elegantly design precision burr grinder is both more efficient and more variable than the standard hand-powered burr grinder, giving coffee-drinkers unparalleled control over the grounds they use for their brew.

The Hiku is designed to be a grinder for those with any type of coffee preference. It has a precisely engineered, patent pending burr design that frees up 70 percent more grinding area compared to a typical burr, meaning that it takes far less time and physical exertion to grind one's beans. The dial around the circumference of the cylinder gives granular control over the coarseness of grounds, from a fully closed burr to as wide as 2.0 millimeters, meaning that everyone from espresso-lovers to French press users can appreciate the tool. Further, it has a large body that can hold up to 10 cups-worth of beans.
