I have a Skerton Pro and I like it pretty well for occasional use. Be aware that the rubber base for the glass jar doesn't stay on very well (at least on mine). Not a big deal, but it will move around on you or even come off during vigorous grinding.

To grind enough for a pot of coffee, it took a ridiculous amount of work. Good to have as an emergency backup, or maybe if you only grind enough for a cup or two at a time.

chefjeffreyCompletely agree - takes me like 10 minutes of straight grinding to produce enough grounds for two people.

So I have the Hario burr grinder and I can't say whether it had a stabilizer plate or not but for the extra money you spend on an electric burr grinder you save in time spent grinding. I used to be fine using the manual grinder when I was making a single cup. When I had someone over, it was almost comical how long I had to grind by hand to make a pot of coffee. I believe mine was the basic one not the pro one but I would wager the the time to grind is not decreased that much if at all.
Take from that what you will.
Though in a power outage with a gas stove you could be drinking burr ground coffee while the commoners drink swill.

I have the Kyocera equivalent to this grinder, from back before there was any stabilizer plate available from Kyocera or Hario. Only difference is no lid for the bean chamber. I bought a stabilizer plate from Orphan Espresso and modded my grinder to produce consistently coarse grounds and use it whenever I make French press. A fine thing. Not sure what model this is and whether it includes a stabilizer plate.

I bought the Pro grinder a few years ago and used it just a few minutes ago to make coffee. Very nice consistent grind and by the time your waters ready the grinding is done from my experience. You may not always feel like it but it makes a very nice cup that would take a far more expensive electric grinder to duplicate.
I'm not sure about the plus, unfortunately it looks like you might have some work before its up and running right. The pro wasnt that much more if I remember correctly.

Misleading. Two of the photos are the higher-end Skerton Pro, not this product (Skerton Plus).

Bought this some time ago. It's almost necessary to install Roboman01's mod (you can find it on Reddit), as it greatly increases the consistency of the grind.
It's a pretty nice mill (I use it for dripping methods like the Woodneck and the V60, with excellent results). I don't have the problem when using the lid as another user mentioned.

LeoiSo at 0:23 of the video that accompanies this drop, it says that the "Plus" model comes with a "Burr-stabilizer plate" - is that anything like the mod? It looks like the "Blue Horse Products" upgrade kit part. Anyone have the "Plus" version already that can comment on that?

mthayrI've just read a comment on Amazon (the fourth most helpful) that indicated the hole in the stabilizer plate on the Plus is too big, so it still wobbles a little. I actually considered the metal mod you refer to, but finally decided that printing one was easier as I don't live in the USA. The main difference is that the 3D mod is taller and applies more pressure on the shaft, so I guess that makes it more effective.

I got one of these a few years ago outside of MD. I use it almost daily. It's held up very well. It's a good size so it's easy to grab and the reservoir is large enough to hold enough grounds for a large pot of coffee. The only downside I think I've come across is that it's difficult to grind very fine grounds for my Aeropress; that said it's great for my french press and drip machines

Cry_DubsGround my espresso for over a year using a stock Skerton. Other than having to crank for about 3 minutes for a double shot, it worked terrifically. Not sure why you're having trouble as this is pretty much the go to hand grinder. Not good for coarse grinds without modification however. One extra note since I'm typing, threads are compatible with a standard-mouth (e.g. Ball) canning jar for when you break the original.

Other options being electric? Looking at https://www.amazon.com/Bodum-11750-01US-Bistro-Coffee-Grinder/dp/B07FMDRHQ4/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8 for not much more price. From reviews, sounds like it's better in every way you noted that hand grinder like this is bad.

Okay, I have one of these. I had another one before the bottom broke. I've been using this coffee grinder for years now. Part of the reason haven't gotten a new one is because I'm cheap, the other part is just self loathing.
This grinder is not worth it.
First off the lid will pop off(happened on both my models) and even if it doesn't, coffee will shoot out of the tiny hole when you're grinder. It's not an if, just a when. It happens to me almost every time.
Second, the grind consistency is AWFUL when it comes to coarse grinds. Just plan bad.
Third, it just really sucks to wake up and use this grinder some mornings. The way you grinder gets tiresome very quickly. My SO refuses to even use it.
Research other options. There are much better ones out there....

bearzI've used this model before and it IS a chore, I totally understand why your SO refuses to use it. I would recommend a hand mill like this for travel or if you are making coffee for one.
