Porlex Mini Coffee Hand Grinder, Stainless steel, Metal

Product Information

If you want something more premium feeling and/or espresso capable, I think the Jx and Jx Pro is where it’s at. Both those models should be able to last a decade at least, while I’m not sure that goes for the C2. But a coffee grinder needs to be good, as well as practical. So, is this the ultimate coffee travel buddy? Weighing in just around a pound (467 g), this grinder is rather lightweight compared to many of its competitors. This is achieved by using plastic stabilizers on the inside and cutting down on unnecessary fat. However, whether you’re taking it camping, on vacation, or just generally want to enjoy great coffee away from your home, it’s well worth that jump in cost and will be one investment you’re not likely to regret. The Lido 3 manual grinder has been popular in the specialty coffee community for a while now. It’s made by the tiny company Orphan Espresso, which mainly produces various hand grinders as well as espresso accessories.

I’m not sure if the plastic is something you need to worry about – besides for aesthetic reasons. It seems well made and is not exposed to excessive force during regular operation. The Lido 3 is a big and bulky grinder. Pictures don’t do it justice. In hand, you can feel how heavy and well-crafted its model is. The irony is that it’s marketed as a travel grinder due to being lighter than its predecessor, the Lido 2. But weighing in a 2 lbs or just above 1 kilo, you’d have to be a hardcore coffee geek to bring it on a trip. Big burrs The antistatic plastic of the grounds bin is made out of a very soft kind of plastic. Within a year the screw thread had gotten so loose that the jar would no longer fit. The Porlex Mini coffee grinder has an approximate bean capacity of 20g. This will produce enough ground beans for a double espresso shot, or a 2-cup medium-strength french press. However, if you’re using a pour-over method such as a V60, or you’re making coffee for more than 2 people, you may be limited for space with the Mini.Espresso or filter?Most grinders excel at one thing only, but a few work well for both styles of coffee. To avoid these problems, it's important to clean and maintain your manual coffee grinder regularly, adjust the coffee grind size according to the brewing method, and use the manual grinder for short periods of time to prevent overheating.

It’s more than capable of grinding, but you can find better models that are also portable at this particular price point. Hario Mini Slim Manual GrinderIt should come as no surprise that the Porlex Mini has a very limited grinding capacity. With a maximum of 20g of coffee at once, you can only get about 1-3 cups of coffee per grind, depending on your preferences. The spring-loaded mechanism around the burrs does a superb job at maintaining grind consistency and maintaining stability as you turn the handle. So far, we have been talking a lot about all the geeky details of the C2, but what makes it an exciting piece of kit is where it places itself in the market place. Timemore also has a few alternatives in-house: There’s the smaller “Nano”, meant for travel, and the popular Timemore Slim which, as the name indicates, is a slimmer, but more elongated version of C2. It’s more expensive, but it also uses more premium materials.
