Coffee grinder Zassenhaus Havana, manual burr grinder, brass housing, Ø 5.6 x 18 cm

The Zassenhaus Havana manual burr grinder is a compact hand-operated coffee grinder with a brass housing and classic cylindrical shape (Ø 5.6 x 18 cm). It uses conical burrs with an adjustable grind setting to produce consistent particle size for a variety of brewing methods. The grinder combines a metal construction with a traditional manual mechanism to deliver stable performance, easy portability and a refined appearance suited to home kitchens and travel.

Advantages

The brass housing offers corrosion resistance and an elegant finish while the metal burrs ensure even grinding and long service life. Its manual operation requires no power source, making it suitable for use anywhere. The compact dimensions and moderate capacity make the grinder easy to store and carry. Adjustable grind settings allow you to switch between coarse and fine textures for different extraction profiles.

Suitable for

• Home brewing with French press and pour-over methods
• Grinding beans for espresso-style extraction on manual machines (with appropriate adjustment)
• Travel and camping where electric grinders are impractical
• Small households and single-serve preparation

Key specifications

• Construction: brass housing with metal burrs
• Dimensions: diameter 5.6 cm, height 18 cm
• Operation: manual hand crank
• Grind adjustment: stepless/adjustable setting for varying grind sizes

How to use

Remove the top cap and add whole coffee beans to the hopper. Reattach the cap, set the grind size by turning the adjustment knob or collar, and rotate the hand crank in a steady motion to grind the beans. Collect the grounds from the bottom container. For finer settings, make small incremental adjustments and test grind size before preparing a full dose. Clean the exterior with a dry cloth and periodically disassemble according to the manufacturer’s guidance to remove residual grounds from the burrs.

Usage recommendations

Use freshly roasted beans and adjust grind size to match your brewing method: coarse for French press, medium for pour-over, and fine for concentrated extractions. Dry beans and routine cleaning extend the life of the burrs and maintain consistent grind quality. Avoid using oily or flavoured beans that can leave residues and require more frequent maintenance.
