Why we love it
The hand grinder most people should start with. The S2C burr produces noticeably less dust than the cheap stainless burrs it competes with, which is what you taste as muddiness in a pour over, and a built-in bearing means the handle keeps spinning after you let go rather than fighting you. The body is metal rather than plastic and the handle folds, so it survives a bag.
Pros
- S2C conical burr generates far less fines than budget burrs
- Bearing-assisted movement — noticeably easier to turn
- All-aluminium body, no plastic shell to crack
- Roughly 36 adjustment steps from fine to coarse
- Folding handle, genuinely packable
Cons
- Adjustment is by nut with no numbers, so settings are hard to return to
- Fine enough for espresso is a stretch — this is a filter grinder
- Grinding a full pot by hand takes real effort
- Slim body is harder to hold steady than a fatter grinder
