Better results with Hario Hand Grinder | Hario MSS-1 Coffee Grinder

This video is about a two-step grinding process on Hario MSS-1 hand grinder. It was hard for me to get an evenly distributed grind for my filter coffee brews and I have experienced that I can work around this problem to a certain degree when I follow this method.

Here's another tip you can use a power drill with the right size socket to turn the wheel instead of the handle. It's effortless and easy!

Thanks! I just got this grinder and did a pour over that’s not bad but I’m getting an aeropress soon so I’ll try your technique!

How different is it from grinding on 13 twice

[@soulseek80nic20]

Can we store the leftover grounded coffee in the base jar?

[@ChiCan76]

Would you not get the same results if you used a finer setting, like 9 or lower?

[@mrigennegi6524]

I can attest, this process results in better grind quality.
In my opinion, the issue is because of the nonuniform torque produced by our hands. Have you tried grinding using the Hario electrical attachment (electro solo/mobile mill stick)? I hypothesise that using the electrical stick will produce much better results.

I didn't know about this product, looks interesting! I think it's also because of the ceramic burrs not "cutting" as good as steel burrs.

[@mrigennegi6524]

@@ColorsofSoundCZcams that too, among many other things.
I believe because of the uniform and fast torque produced by the electrical stick, many of the issues (such as burr wobble, cutting inefficiency etc) might have less of an impact on the ground coffee quality.

What is the maximum number of clicks in this model? From zero to how many counterclockwise?

[@CecilMathew]

Basically until it comes apart

[@petereriksson4405]

Its a bit of a fuss changing setings between grindings, so what happens of you grind on 13, then 13 again?

[@ColorsofSoundYouTube]

My idea with grinding coarser first was to crack the beans so that the grinder can perform better on the second and finer grind. Let us know if grinding the same twice works well for you!

[@santi7474]

you can buy 2 of this thing and leave them set and just swap the coffee. what a bright idea, isn't it? 😄

[@aviadleibovich9083]

How is the coffee produced from one method compared to the other method? Say V60

[@ColorsofSoundYouTube]

The body is missing when the grind is not evenly distributed as in the "default" method.

[@gunplamx7045]

Whenever i prepare my coffe with the hand grinder and with a v60 im always left with some mud like sediment, and i cant seem to fix that. I do not know if its the grimding or the preparation. Anyone has ant tips?

[@volodymyrikalyuk4583]

It's normal

[@cleancutguy1892]

Interesting... I think it's better to buy a better grinder like the german coffee grinder Commandante

[@arjunKaisaAbhi]

Can we get espresso grind size from this.

[@sjorlando7282]

No, not really

[@GoodLordandGod]

It can depends on the machine. Check the video Flair x Hario Coffee Mill Ceramic Slim.

[@wimzaaijer2655]

If you where able to afford an espresso machine, i think it would be better to invest in a better coffee grinder. It can grind quite fine, for moka pot it is good enough, but for espresso i would strongly advice a better grinder

[@djispro4272]

Basically, you are doing the same job as an auger in some electric grinders

[@yevhen-st]

lol, you can do it on 7 clicks and you will get the same result

[@nicktohzyu]

Would love to hear if you have any thoughts on your 1zpresso to share!

[@ColorsofSoundYouTube]

Nothing other than that I can recommend it as an all-rounder.
