Pietro Manual Coffee Grinder

Most manual grinders use conical burrs, but the Pietro utilizes 58mm flat steel burrs similar to high-end electric grinders. This design provides a more uniform particle distribution, which typically results in clearer flavor profiles and better extraction for both espresso and filter coffee.

Yes, the stepless adjustment dial allows for infinite settings rather than fixed clicks. This gives you the precision needed to dial in espresso shots while still being able to quickly adjust to a coarser setting for pour-over or drip coffee.

The hopper has a capacity of 60 grams, which is sufficient for a large batch of filter coffee or multiple shots of espresso. Its vertical alignment and efficient grounds expulsion ensure that almost all of that coffee ends up in your container with minimal retention.

The Pietro is not dishwasher safe, so you should clean it by hand. Because it is designed for minimal retention, it requires less frequent deep cleaning than many other grinders, though you can easily brush out the burr chamber as needed.

While it features a retractable lever and a compact footprint, it weighs 3.3 lbs and is built with a sturdy aluminum body. It is excellent for a home setup where space is limited, but its weight makes it better suited for countertop use than for lightweight travel.
