Turin TrekGrind Portable Espresso Grinder
The Turin TrekGrind is a compact, battery-powered electric grinder designed to make freshly ground espresso practical while traveling. Its small body, magnetic lid and collapsible dosing cup create an easy-to-pack setup for camping, RV trips, hotels, offices and other places where a full-size espresso grinder is impractical.
An 800mAh lithium battery provides approximately five espresso doses per charge, based on the manufacturer’s estimate. The grinder automatically shuts off after it senses the beans have finished grinding, helping conserve battery power. USB-C charging makes it easy to recharge alongside common travel electronics.
Why Choose the TrekGrind?
- Portable electric grinding: Grind fresh coffee without carrying a full-size countertop grinder or turning a hand crank.
- Designed for espresso: Built as the grinding companion for compact espresso setups, especially the Turin TrekBrew portable espresso machine.
- USB-C rechargeable: Uses a common charging connection; a USB-C cable is included.
- Automatic shutoff: Stops after the last beans are ground to help preserve battery life.
- Magnetic lid: Opens easily for loading while keeping the compact design tidy.
- Collapsible dosing cup: Stores inside the grinder body to reduce packed size.
- Lightweight construction: The grinder weighs approximately 475g.

No. A scale is optional, but weighing each dose makes espresso easier to dial in and repeat. The Turin Mini Espresso Scale is a compact option.
