Brewing the perfect cup of coffee at home is a science in and of itself, but nailing camp coffee? That’s even trickier.

In the wild you’re left without your high-end equipment and well-appointed home setup, and all bets are off when it comes to guaranteeing a quality cup of joe. (I guess that’s why it’s called “roughing it.”)

Miir’s new Coffee Hand Grinder, however, has the potential to fix the issues surrounding brewing inconsistencies in the wild.

Finally, you might be able to enjoy that perfect cup of coffee in your favorite off-grid escapes … and at home too.  

Precisely what you need

Making coffee at camp is a balance of sacrifice, especially if you’re trying to keep your kit lightweight. 

While there are a bevy of grinders to choose from, they’re either heavy, cumbersome, expensive, limited or a combination of all of the above. Weight-saving options are fine, but their plastic construction leaves something to be desired.

Most I’ve encountered can’t hold a candle to Miir’s new stainless steel coffee hand grinder, thanks to its tough construction, consistent precision and more.

This beauty is as durable as it is beautiful, weighs just 16 ounces and costs less than $150. Calling it a Goldilocks option wouldn’t be far off the mark.

Designed to deliver

Miir’s portable coffee grinder is designed with durable conical stainless steel burrs and a rotating handle that folds into the body of the grinder for streamlined storage and travel.

The grinder’s six different grind settings give you total control, whether you’re in the mood for French press, pour-over or espresso.

Thanks to its above-average 45-gram capacity, the Coffee Hand Grinder holds more beans than most hand grinders, which means more coffee for you!

The snap-on cover keeps beans secure and prevents dust from camp and road trips from contaminating your goods.

Robust yet refined 18/8 stainless steel construction means you don’t have to be delicate with Miir’s new hand grinder: it’s ideal for camp.

Even so, thanks to its streamlined aesthetic, you can easily keep this item on your counter at home, and use it for everyday adventures like the morning grind.  

Availability and pricing

The Coffee Hand Grinder is available now on Miir’s official website, retailing for an approachable $130.
