A few weeks ago, our cheap coffee grinder broke. It was the kind you can get for twenty bucks with a spinning blade. The blade broke off into little bits, and we were left without coffee. Luckily, in our seemingly endless quest to use simple, well-crafted objects in our everyday lives (typewriter, double-edged razor, etc.), we stumbled upon the Camano Coffee Mill from Red Rootser Trading Co. It’s a hand-cranked canonical burr grinder, with adjustments for how coarse of a grind you need. Something that’s really important for a Chemex brewer, which requires a coarser grind. It might take a minute more to grind by hand, but so far I’m enjoying it.
