Manual grinders

Hand grinders have really taken off in the last few years. If you want maximum control over your grind, manual might be the way to go. Companies like Timemore and Hario are leading the pack with their high quality manual grinders. 

Simply Shipped Coffee is one of only a handful of retailers in the U.S. carrying Timemore products. Check out their Instagram and their Amazon listings for more info on Timemore products. 


Special mention: The new Timemore Grinder Go Advanced is a really interesting product. It is a portable compact electric grinder and pourover brewing system. Now that is cool!
