Embrace the Grind With These BRCC Manual Coffee Grinders
We are always looking for new and exciting ways to enjoy brewing our favorite Black Rifle Coffee Company roasts. While BRCC makes it easy to brew a proper cup of coffee in just minutes, taking a little extra time to dial in your brew technique is half the fun, right?
One of the simplest ways to fine-tune your brewing skills is experimenting with your coffee-grind technique. And what better way than to practice with a quality hand grinder? Now, we know what you’re probably thinking. You guys don’t actually grind your favorite roast each morning manually, right?

But trust us; dusting off your manual grinder a few times each month can take your coffee experience to that next level of enjoyment.
This is where the BRCC manual grinders from Hario shine. Simply pour your favorite gourmet beans into the durable, portable coffee grinder and start cranking away to bring yourself one step closer to your caffeinated day.
The coffee grinders feature a modern design, stainless steel body, and aluminum handle for increased grind consistency and reduced wear. And the micro-adjustments these manual grinders provide have even aided in quickly adjusting our electric grinder settings for our different brewing techniques at home.

All Hario manual coffee grinders use conical ceramic burrs, which often transfer less heat when grinding the beans than other burr types, significantly reducing the risk of heating your coffee beans to the point that the heat alters the taste of your preferred brew.
Are you using a French press to impress at your next family gathering? Remove the bottom piece of the grinder and turn the knob counterclockwise for a coarser grind. Were you packing out an AeroPress for an epic off-the-grid adventure? Simply turn that knob clockwise for coffee grinds as fine as dust.

The Hario top-fed grounds catcher can hold roughly 25 to 30 grams of whole beans, which equals about one to two cups of fresh coffee. Each features a bayonet-type fitting, allowing the user to separate the grounds catcher from the body with a simple twist.
We have been using the Hario lineup of manual grinders with great success. But this month, we also had the chance to try Black Rifle Coffee Company’s elusive hand grinder. This hand grinder is about as hard to find as Tactisquatch himself. The heavy-duty burr grinder is the new standard for grinding premium BRCC coffee. Plus, it can easily double as a blunt force weapon in a pinch.

It has a machined aluminum anodized housing and features easy-to-adjust grind settings. The conical grinder is stainless steel and features precision ball bearings with an integrated handle-holder grip.
After two months of continual use, this manual grinder has held up well, and its portable design makes it an easy choice when packing out on new adventures.
The Black Rifle Coffee Company Hario manual grinders are available now on our official website.
