Coffee grinder Zassenhaus Manaos, manual burr grinder, Ø 9 x 25 cm, stainless steel/plastic

The Zassenhaus Manaos manual burr coffee grinder is a compact, hand-operated grinder designed for domestic use and travel. It measures approximately 9 x 25 cm and combines stainless steel and durable plastic in its construction. The conical burr mechanism produces consistent grind sizes and is adjustable to suit a range of brewing methods from coarse for French press to fine for espresso-style preparations. The grinder's portable size and manual operation make it suitable for countertop use or taking on trips where an electric grinder is not available.

Advantages

The conical burr mechanism provides uniform particle size distribution, improving extraction consistency across brewing methods. Stainless steel components contribute to longevity and hygienic contact with coffee beans, while plastic elements reduce overall weight for easier handling and transport. The adjustable grind setting allows users to select coarse to fine textures, offering flexibility for different recipes. Manual operation eliminates the need for a power supply and reduces noise compared with electric grinders.

How to use

Fill the bean hopper with whole coffee beans, set the grind adjustment to the desired level, and secure the lid or hopper according to the model's instructions. Hold the grinder steady with one hand and turn the crank with the other, applying even, steady strokes until the required amount of ground coffee has been produced. Check the grind size and, if necessary, adjust the setting and grind a small test portion to verify the texture before preparing a full brew.

Usage recommendations

For consistent results, clean the grinder periodically to remove coffee oils and residue, and adjust the grind in small increments when changing brew methods. Use fresh, whole beans and avoid overfilling the hopper to maintain even grinding performance.
