Turin H40 V2 Hand Coffee Grinder
The Turin H40 V2 is a compact manual coffee grinder with a 40mm seven-core 420 stainless-steel conical burr, external adjustment, an aluminum body, and an integrated 58mm blind-shaker catch cup. It provides an affordable way to grind freshly for espresso, AeroPress, pour-over, drip, moka pot, and immersion brewing without relying on electricity.
The dark gray aluminum body is wrapped with a textured black grip sleeve, while the crank uses a walnut wood knob for comfortable leverage. Four bearings—one in the handle and three along the central axle—support a smoother crank motion and help control shaft movement. At approximately 875g with a 30g capacity, the H40 V2 balances portability with a reassuringly substantial build.
Why Choose the Turin H40 V2?
- Espresso-capable 40mm conical burr: Seven-core stainless-steel geometry covering fine through coarse brewing.
- External adjustment: Change grind size without removing the catch cup.
- Integrated blind shaker: The removable plunger converts the magnetic cup into a 58mm espresso-distribution tool.
- Four-bearing support: Three axle bearings and one handle bearing help stabilize the grinding mechanism.
- Aluminum construction: A durable metal body instead of a lightweight plastic housing.
- Secure magnetic catch cup: Easy to remove without unscrewing after each dose.
- 30g capacity: Suitable for most single-cup and double-shot recipes.
- No power required: Useful for travel, quiet grinding, an office, camping, or backup use.
- Three buying options: Choose immediate shipment, preorder savings, or a discounted open-box unit.

What Does the Turin H40 V2 Taste Like?
The seven-core conical burr generally produces a balanced cup with good body, texture, and blended sweetness. It is a natural match for traditional espresso, moka pot, AeroPress, medium and darker roasts, and milk drinks. It can also produce enjoyable pour-over and drip coffee across a broad roast range.
Customers whose highest priority is extreme flavor separation from light-roast filter coffee may prefer a grinder with specialized clarity-focused burr geometry. The H40 V2 is best understood as an affordable, versatile all-round hand grinder.
How to Calibrate and Adjust the H40 V2
- Empty the grinder before calibration.
- Gently move toward the finest position until the burrs reach the manufacturer’s calibration point; never force them tightly together.
- Set or note your reference zero as shown in the calibration video below.
- Move coarser to begin dialing in the chosen brew method.
- Record settings relative to your own calibrated zero.
Do not rely on another owner’s exact setting. True zero, coffee density, roast level, dose, basket, and recipe can all change the position required. If beans are trapped between the burrs, rotate the crank gently while adjusting finer rather than forcing the dial.
Grinding Espresso by Hand
The H40 V2 can grind fine enough for non-pressurized espresso baskets, but espresso requires more effort and time than filter grinding. Dense light-roast beans and very fine settings are the most demanding. The textured grip, long crank, walnut knob, and bearing-supported axle help provide control, but manual espresso remains a physical process.
For one or two drinks, quiet operation, or travel, the H40 V2 is practical and compact. If you regularly prepare several consecutive espresso drinks, consider an electric grinder such as the SK40 or DF54.
58mm Catch Cup and Blind-Shaker Workflow
- Install the blind-shaker plunger if you want to use the integrated shaker.
- Grind the measured dose into the magnetically attached catch cup.
- Hold the grinder and cup securely and shake gently to redistribute the grounds.
- Remove the cup and place it over a compatible 58mm portafilter.
- Lift the plunger to release the grounds, then finish puck preparation.
The blind-shaker insert is optional. Remove it to use the cup as a conventional catch cup for espresso or filter coffee.

Turin H40 V2 vs H63 vs SK40 vs DF54
| Grinder | Design | Best reason to choose it |
|---|---|---|
| Turin H40 V2 | 40mm manual conical | Affordable, portable all-round grinding with an integrated blind shaker |
| Turin H63 | 63mm manual conical | Larger burr, greater 35–40g capacity, and a more substantial manual platform |
| Turin SK40 | 40mm electric conical | Stepless electric espresso grinding without hand-cranking |
| Turin DF54 | 54mm electric flat | Electric convenience and a cleaner, more separated flat-burr presentation |
Choose the H40 V2 for portability, value, and a versatile manual workflow. Choose the H63 for a larger manual burr and capacity. Choose the SK40 or DF54 when electric convenience matters more than power-free operation.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Turin H40 V2 in stock?
Yes. In-stock units are currently available for immediate processing. Lower-priced preorder and limited open-box options are also listed in the product selector.
What is the difference between in-stock, preorder, and open-box H40 V2 grinders?
In-stock units are new and ship under the normal processing schedule. Preorders are new units reserved from an upcoming shipment. Open-box units are customer returns that have been tested and cleaned but may show signs of use.
Is the Turin H40 V2 good for espresso?
Yes. Its adjustment range reaches espresso-fine settings, and its 58mm catch cup and blind-shaker insert are specifically useful for espresso preparation.
Can the H40 V2 grind for pour-over and French press?
Yes. The external adjustment covers espresso, moka pot, AeroPress, pour-over, drip, and coarser immersion brewing.
What is the H40 V2 burr made from?
It uses a 40mm seven-core conical burr made from 420 stainless steel.
Is the H40 V2 adjustment external?
Yes. Grind size is changed from the outside of the grinder, so you do not need to remove the catch cup to adjust it.
What grind setting should I use for espresso?
There is no universal setting. Calibrate your grinder, start in the espresso range, and adjust based on shot time and taste. Settings posted by another owner may not correspond exactly to your grinder’s zero point.
How do I find true zero?
Calibrate the empty grinder using the manufacturer’s procedure shown in the video below. Approach burr contact gently and never force the burrs tightly together.
How difficult is it to hand-grind espresso?
Espresso is more demanding than filter grinding. Darker roasts are generally easier, while dense light roasts and fine settings require more torque and time.
What is the difference between the H40 V2 and H63?
The H40 V2 uses a 40mm burr, holds approximately 30g, and is lighter and less expensive. The H63 uses a larger 63mm burr, holds approximately 35–40g, and weighs slightly more.
Is the H40 V2 good for travel?
Yes. It requires no electricity and has a compact body. At approximately 875g, it is substantial for its size, so it is better suited to normal travel and car camping than ultralight backpacking.
How much coffee does the H40 V2 hold?
Capacity is approximately 30g depending on bean density—enough for most espresso, AeroPress, pour-over, and single-cup recipes.
What do the four bearings do?
The bearings support the handle and axle, helping reduce shaft movement and provide a smoother crank motion.
How does the magnetic catch cup work?
Magnets secure the cup to the grinder while allowing it to be removed quickly without unscrewing it from the body.
What is the included blind shaker?
It is a removable plunger inside the catch cup that lets you shake and redistribute grounds before releasing them into a 58mm portafilter.
Do I have to use the blind-shaker insert?
No. Remove the insert to 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. Exact seating can vary among portafilter and basket designs.
Does the H40 V2 create static?
Some static is possible in dry conditions. Hand grinders typically require little or no RDT, but a very light mist may help with an unusually static-prone coffee.
How should I clean the H40 V2?
Use the included brush to remove loose grounds. Keep water away from the steel burr, bearings, and internal components, and follow the disassembly video below.
Can I wash the burr?
No. Clean the burr dry. Water left on the steel or inside the bearings may cause corrosion or damage.
Do the burrs need seasoning?
The grinder can be used immediately. Grind behavior may become more consistent with use, but there is no need to waste a large amount of coffee before brewing.
Can I power the H40 V2 with a drill?
Use the grinder manually unless Turin specifically supplies and approves a powered adapter. A drill can overspeed the burr, damage components, and create a safety risk.
Does the H40 V2 need electricity?
No. It is completely manual and can be used without an outlet or battery.
Where can I get help with the H40 V2?
See the Turin H40 V2 support page for videos and setup information, or contact Espresso Outlet.
