Coffee grinders

Coffee grinders are essential if you want consistently good coffee at home, at work or in the field, allowing you to mill beans just before brewing for maximum aroma and flavour. In this category you will find both compact manual coffee grinders suitable for a mess tin or rucksack, and larger electric models designed for a permanent place on your kitchen counter.

The key element of any coffee grinder is the grinding mechanism. Burr coffee grinders with conical or flat burrs provide an even particle size and far better control than simple blade designs, which is important whether you brew espresso, moka, pour-over, French press or use a camp percolator. Many manual coffee grinders offer a wide, stepped or stepless grind adjustment, so you can move from fine to coarse settings depending on the method you use. Pay attention to the material of the burrs – stainless steel or ceramic – as it affects durability, cutting precision and resistance to corrosion during outdoor use.

For bushcraft, trekking and everyday carry, you will appreciate portable coffee grinders with a slim, cylindrical form that fits inside a mug or bottle pouch, low weight and robust construction in stainless steel or aluminium. Foldable or removable cranks, anti-slip surfaces and integrated ground coffee containers make them easier to pack and operate in gloves or cold weather. In more stationary conditions you may prefer larger, electric burr grinders with higher capacity hoppers, timed dosing and powerful motors for grinding several portions in a row.

Coffee grinders in the MILITARY range are aimed at outdoor enthusiasts, survivalists, service members in the field, as well as anyone who simply wants reliable, repeatable grinding at home. They work well in camp kitchens, vehicle setups, base camps and everyday kitchens alike, complementing camp stoves, kettles and brewing systems.
