Porlex Mini Stainless Steel Coffee Grinder ($60 on the time of publication)
Yuki Izumi has been the espresso director at Hi-Collar, a restaurant and sake bar in New York Metropolis’s East Village, because it opened in June 2013. Izumi swears by the Porlex Mini Stainless Steel Coffee Grinder—which we suggest in our guide to coffee grinders—when she takes weekend journeys. “I’m all about manual and portable. There’s nothing better than slow-hand grinding,” she mentioned. “And the Porlex is what I use for a fairly even, consistent grind while camping. Plus, it fits directly inside the cylinder of the AeroPress.” (It’s good to keep in mind that hand grinders could make sufficient grounds for less than a cup or two of espresso at a time, and that may take 5 to 10 minutes of handbook labor.)
