AeroPress Made a Coffee Grinder That Fits Inside the Plunger - Yanko Design

"Manual grinders designed for travel usually give up something important to stay portable. Compact versions use cheaper burrs that grind unevenly, producing bitter coffee no matter how carefully you brew it. Premium grinders with Italian burrs deliver consistent results but end up too bulky for backpacks, forcing you to choose between bringing mediocre equipment or leaving the grinder at home and buying pre-ground beans that taste stale before the bag even opens."

"AeroPress's new manual grinder fits completely inside the AeroPress plunger without any parts sticking out or requiring disassembly beyond detaching the magnetic handle. Italian titanium-coated burrs handle everything from espresso-fine to French press coarse across sixty distinct settings. The all-metal construction weighs enough to feel serious without becoming awkward to pack alongside other camping gear or travel essentials that compete for limited bag space."

"The body uses knurled aluminum with vertical ridges that provide grip when your hands are cold or slightly damp from washing beans. Dark gray metal keeps it looking professional instead of cheap. The catch holds twenty-five grams, which matches single-dose brewing perfectly and eliminates the waste that comes from grinding more coffee than you actually need for one cup or pot."

Manual travel grinders often sacrifice grind quality or portability, with compact models using cheaper burrs that produce uneven, bitter coffee and premium Italian-burr grinders becoming too bulky for backpacks. The AeroPress manual grinder fits completely inside the AeroPress plunger and requires only detaching a magnetic handle. Italian titanium-coated burrs span espresso-fine to French-press coarse across sixty numbered, clickable settings. The all-metal knurled-aluminum body provides grip and a serious weight while remaining packable. A twenty-five-gram catch matches single-dose brewing and reduces waste. The grinder ships preset to medium-fine and stores the handle magnetically along the body.
