AeroPress, a renowned name in manual coffee equipment, has made its first move into grinding with the launch of an innovative metal manual grinder. Designed entirely in-house, this compact grinder is engineered to nest inside the hollow plunger of the AeroPress brewer for optimal portability when not in use.
The grinder, available globally for $199.95, boasts a sleek design that sets it apart. Weighing 20.5 ounces, it features 38-millimeter titanium-coated conical burrs turned by the Easy-Grind Magnetic Handle. The patent-pending design uses magnets inside a fitted groove along the grinder’s exterior to stow the handle compactly when not in use. Ball bearings around the shaft above and below the burrs grant smooth turning action while maintaining alignment, ensuring a consistent grind every time for pour-over or other methods. Exterior grooves enhance appearance and ergonomics for a comfortable grip.
The grinder offers 60+ adjustable grind settings with a cup capacity of 25 grams. While it fits inside the plungers of the AeroPress Go and Go Plus, the existing self-contained travel kits for those models don’t currently accommodate the grinder. However, it loosely fits in the AeroPress XL’s included travel bag. Notably, the less travel-friendly AeroPress Premium — the glass version that launched last year with a slightly narrower metal plunger — does not accommodate the Manual Grinder inside the plunger.
Founded in 2004 by inventor Alan Adler in Palo Alto, California, AeroPress launched the coffee brewer in 2005. The company has been consistently rolling out new products following Canadian holding company Tiny Capital’s purchase of a controlling stake in 2021. The Manual Grinder is AeroPress’s first globally timed release, becoming available worldwide on Nov. 4 via Amazon and distributors.
