Turin H63 Hand Coffee Grinder
The Turin H63 is a substantial manual coffee grinder built around an unusually large 63mm eight-core SUS420 stainless-steel conical burr. It is designed for coffee drinkers who want the tactile simplicity of hand grinding, broad espresso-to-filter adjustment, and a 58mm magnetic catch cup that can also function as an integrated blind shaker.
The machined aluminum body uses a textured black grip sleeve, walnut handle knob, and four-bearing support system—one bearing in the handle and three along the central axle—to help maintain stability while grinding. An external adjustment ring provides 80 reference settings without removing the catch cup. At approximately 895g, the H63 is portable but intentionally substantial rather than ultralight.

What Does the Turin H63 Taste Like?
The large conical burr generally favors a rounded cup with body, texture, and integrated sweetness. It is well suited to traditional espresso, medium and darker roasts, milk drinks, AeroPress, and balanced pour-over. As with any grinder, flavor depends on the coffee, recipe, water, and adjustment setting; burr diameter alone does not determine cup quality.
Light-roast filter drinkers seeking maximum flavor separation may prefer a hand grinder built specifically around clarity-focused burr geometry. The H63 is better positioned as a versatile, espresso-capable all-rounder.
How to Use the External Adjustment
- Locate the external numbered adjustment ring.
- Move toward finer settings for espresso and toward coarser settings for filter or immersion brewing.
- Begin with a conservative setting and make small changes while dialing in.
- Record the reference position for each coffee and brew method.
- Do not force the adjustment if beans are trapped between the burrs; turn the crank gently while moving finer.
The 80 settings are reference positions, not universal recipes. Coffee density, roast level, dose, basket, and brewing equipment all affect the setting required.
Grinding Espresso by Hand
The H63 can grind fine enough for espresso, but manual espresso grinding always requires more effort than filter grinding. Dense light-roast beans and very fine settings require the most torque. The long handle, textured sleeve, four-bearing support, and large burr help provide leverage and stability, but buyers should still expect a physical hand-grinding process.
For several consecutive espresso drinks or frequent daily use, an electric grinder may be more convenient. For one or two drinks, travel, quiet operation, or a backup grinder, the H63 offers a capable power-free workflow.
58mm Catch Cup and Blind-Shaker Workflow
- Install the blind-shaker plunger in the catch cup if you want to use the integrated shaker.
- Grind the measured coffee into the magnetically attached cup.
- Hold both the grinder and cup securely and shake gently to redistribute the grounds.
- Remove the cup and position it over a compatible 58mm portafilter.
- Lift the plunger to release the grounds, then complete puck preparation.
The blind-shaker insert is optional. Remove it to use the cup as a conventional catch cup for espresso or filter brewing.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Turin H63 currently available?
No. The H63 is currently sold out. The Turin H40 V2 is the closest in-stock Turin hand-grinder alternative.
Is the Turin H63 good for espresso?
Yes. Its external adjustment range includes espresso-fine settings, and the 58mm catch cup and blind-shaker insert are designed around espresso workflow.
Can the H63 grind for pour-over and French press?
Yes. The 80-position external adjustment covers espresso, AeroPress, pour-over, drip, and coarser immersion brewing.
Does a 63mm burr make the H63 faster?
The large burr provides a broad cutting surface, but grind time also depends on burr geometry, bean density, roast level, setting, feed rate, and cranking speed. It should not be assumed that burr diameter alone guarantees a specific time.
How difficult is it to hand-grind espresso?
Espresso requires noticeably more effort than filter coffee. Darker roasts are generally easier, while dense light roasts and fine settings require more torque and time.
What is the H63 burr made from?
The 63mm eight-core conical burr is made from SUS420 stainless steel.
How many grind settings does the H63 have?
It has 80 external reference settings. These give repeatable positions, but there is no universal setting that works for every coffee and brewer.
Is the adjustment external?
Yes. The adjustment is accessible from outside the grinder, so the catch cup does not need to be removed to change grind size.
What is the difference between the Turin H63 and H40 V2?
The H63 uses a larger 63mm burr and weighs approximately 895g. The H40 V2 uses a smaller 40mm burr and is lighter, more compact, and less expensive.
Is the H63 good for travel?
It requires no electricity and fits easily into many bags, but its nearly two-pound weight makes it better for car travel, an office, or a substantial travel kit than ultralight backpacking.
How much coffee does the H63 hold?
Capacity is approximately 35–40g depending on bean density, which is enough for most espresso and manual-brewing recipes.
What do the four bearings do?
The bearings support the handle and axle, helping reduce shaft movement and maintain a smoother, more stable crank motion.
How does the magnetic catch cup work?
Magnets hold the cup securely to the grinder body while allowing it to be removed without unscrewing.
What is a blind shaker?
A blind shaker is a covered dosing tool used to shake and redistribute ground coffee before releasing it into a portafilter. The H63 cup includes a removable plunger for this workflow.
Do I have to use the blind-shaker insert?
No. Remove the plunger and use the magnetic cup as a conventional catch cup.
Does the catch cup fit a 58mm portafilter?
It is designed around a standard 58mm espresso workflow. Fit and seating can vary slightly among portafilter and basket designs.
Does the H63 create static?
Some static is possible, particularly with dry beans and low humidity. RDT is usually unnecessary in a hand grinder, but a very light mist may help if static becomes noticeable.
How should I clean the Turin H63?
Use a dry brush or air blower to remove loose grounds. Keep water away from the burrs and bearings, and follow the reassembly order shown in the cleaning video below.
Can I wash the burrs?
No. Avoid washing the burrs or internal bearings with water because retained moisture can cause corrosion or damage. Clean them dry.
Do the burrs need seasoning?
The H63 can be used immediately. Grind behavior may stabilize with use, but there is no need to waste a large amount of coffee before brewing.
Can the H63 be used with a drill?
Unless the manufacturer specifically supplies and approves a powered adapter, use the grinder by hand. A drill can overspeed the burr, damage components, and create a safety risk.
Does the H63 need electricity?
No. It is completely manual and can be used anywhere without a battery or outlet.
