I agree with what you said about the Skerton being good for espresso, it produces a really consistent grind and the ceramic conical burrs are fantastic. But. It takes a really long time. I don't have any experience (yet) with other manual burr grinders, but I am curious to see if they are as time consuming as the Skerton or if some of them can produce with the same consistency and fewer rotations. Additionally, my French press hasn't arrived yet (like I said, brand new to the good coffee at home routine), but I'm actually under the impression that the Hario Skerton makes pretty decent press pot brews. But I haven't any experience with that yet. I just got my Hario Skerton in the mail about a week ago now – I’m brand new to making good coffee at home, and it has turned into quite an adventure.
