A manual burr grinder for filter coffee

The IKAPE Line is a manual burr grinder with a pentagonal 420 stainless steel burr, two internal bearings and 24 click settings. IKAPE made it for drip coffee, Chemex, French press and cold brew, and describes it as compact and portable, for home, the office and camping.

In IKAPE's photo the grinder body is 169 mm high and 50 mm across. With the handle fitted it stands 197 mm tall and spans 168 mm.

Twenty-four clicks, from drip to cold brew

A click adjustment dial sets the grind, and IKAPE gives it 24 distinct settings from fine to coarse, for drip coffee, Chemex, French press and cold brew. The settings click into place, so you can note a number and return to it. In IKAPE's photos the numbered dial sits at the base of the grinder body, under the catch chamber.

Burr and bearings

IKAPE states the pentagonal burr gives a steady, dependable cut, and names wear-resistant 420 stainless steel for it. The two internal bearings, IKAPE states, keep the grinding smooth and stable and produce evenly sized grounds. The shell is lightweight aircraft aluminium.

How to use it

Open the bean chamber and add the beans for one brew.
Take off the catch chamber and set the dial for your brew method.
Refit the catch chamber and turn the handle at a steady pace.
Tap the catch chamber before you remove it, so the fines settle.
Change the setting one or two clicks at a time and note what worked.

Materials and care

IKAPE names 420 stainless steel for the burr and aircraft aluminium for the shell. Brush the burr and the chambers out dry after use; water and coffee oils left on a burr dull it over time. Keep the grinder out of the dishwasher and let every part dry fully before you put it back together.
