I have a beastly kitchenaid burr grinder that makes short work of grinding. The hario skelton pro is ideal for single cup grinding.

The pro has a rubber strip around the middle of the device, making it more comfy to hold. Same for the storage glass, lid and rubber bottom to help with friction.

It easily handles up to 60g of beans for a one liter carafe and will hold it's grind setting thanks to its spring tensioned burr. After the initial figuring out the exact fine/coarse setting, it now takes a few minutes to grind 50 grams of coffee.

Adjusting the grind size is much easier on the pro (but see below). The plus is more of a 4/5. Once you have that down for whatever your brew method is, you’ll be ready to go. Instructions say it will need a shake now and then, but i only needed to do...  Read More

The grind size adjustment is very primitive, with loose detents in the wing nut that holds the burrs at their distance.
