A crank grinder is a grinder with a hand crank on the lid. Instead of twisting the two halves together, you simply crank it – this is particularly smooth and gentle on the fingers.
How does a crank grinder work?
The crank drives the grinding mechanism, which grinds the material. Because you don't have to rotate the entire top, grinding is easier and more consistent – especially with larger quantities or if your fingers aren't cooperating.
Who is a crank grinder suitable for?
- Less effort – comfortable for the hands.
- Even grinding – the crank runs smoothly.
- Comfort – practical for larger quantities.
Crank grinder or classic grinder?
The classic hand grinder is more compact and doesn't require any mechanics. The crank grinder scores points for comfort and smooth operation. Those who often grind larger quantities or value convenience will be well served by the crank. The only way to go more conveniently is with an electric grinder.
