Helor 101

Equipment notes

The Helor 101 is a manual grinder from Helor, a design-led brand known for precise metalwork and interchangeable burr options. It sets a stainless steel conical burr into a compact cylindrical body, pursuing both portability and precision. The conical steel burr brings a fuller body and the wide particle spread typical of the shape, while the steel cuts sharply. Grind size is set along a scale, and the design allows swapping between burr sets of different character to shift the brew direction, covering espresso through pour over to French press. It suits an enthusiast who enjoys the feel and precision of a metal mill and wants to tune character through burr swaps while experimenting across brew methods.
