Overview
Hario's Skerton Pro offers high-quality grinds at an introductory price. The original Skerton is known the world-over for being an excellent entry point for craft coffee brewing. The Skerton Pro seeks to improve consistency with a stabilized upper burr and a spring loaded lower burr, while moving the grind adjust to the lower burr assembly for easier adjustments. Ergonomics also see an improvement with a wider, silicone grip for easier grinding.
- Burr Stabilizers: A grind shaft bushing and lower burr spring help to keep the grind more consistent at coarser settings.
- Stepped Grind Adjust: Borrowing from the smaller Hario Mini Mill, the Skerton Pro moves its grind adjust below the burrs for easy access to grind adjustments.
- Standard Threads: Just like the original Skerton, the Skerton Pro threads onto regular Ball jars.
- Reinforced Handle: A solid cast hexagonal grinder handle feels sturdier and less likely to wear than the original.
- Silicon Grip: Wider and grippier, the Skerton Pro feels more stable during grinding.

Pros
- More Consistent: The changes made to the burrs and center shaft definitely make the Skerton Pro more consistent across grind settings.
- Still Affordable: While slightly more expensive than the Skerton, the new Pro is still an easy pick for beginning baristas.
-
Cons
- French Press: While more consistent overall, grinding for French press still had a few too many fines.
