  • No batteries, no cord

  • Brush, pouch and card in the box
How to use

Take off the lid and pour in up to 30 g of whole beans. Set the brass dial by number: espresso 10 to 16, moka 18 to 22, pour-over 24 to 30, French press 32 to 40. Hold the knurled band and turn the knob clockwise until it runs free. Tap the body, unscrew the catch cup and pour. Every few weeks take off the lid and brush the burrs. Keep water away from the burrs and the axle.

Materials

Body, lid and catch cup: anodized aluminum. Burrs and axle: stainless steel, two steel ball bearings. Adjustment ring: brushed brass. Crank: stainless steel with an oiled walnut knob. Pouch: waxed cotton with a leather drawstring. Brush: natural bristle, beech handle.

Safety

Keep fingers away from the burrs when the lid is off. Do not grind spices, nuts or oily beans. Do not immerse in water or put in a dishwasher. Contains small parts; keep out of reach of children. Dry fully before storing.

One dial, four brews

Espresso to French press

  • Espresso

    Espresso

    A fine, even bed at setting 12 to 14 for a lever or a small machine. The dial holds the number from one shot to the next.

  • Pour-over

    Pour-over

    Medium at 24 to 30: open enough to drain on time, fine enough to taste sweet. A 20 g dose takes about 45 seconds.

  • Camp

    No cord, no batteries. The crank lifts off, and the grinder weighs about as much as a full mug.

Why conical steel burrs

Inside

Why conical steel burrs

Blades smash beans into dust and boulders. Burrs cut them between two toothed surfaces set a fixed distance apart, so the grounds come out even and repeatable. The gap is what the dial sets.

  • 38 mm conical burrs, stainless steel
  • Steel axle on two bearings, steady under load
  • Brush clean, no water, no disassembly beyond the lid

Read the card

Before you order

In the box

Halden One grinder, cleaning brush, waxed cotton pouch and a settings card. One Plus and One Mini are sold separately.

Specs

Height 16 cm (6.3 in), diameter 52 mm (2.05 in), weight 520 g (1.15 lb). Hopper 30 g. 38 mm stainless steel conical burrs on a dual-bearing axle. 60 clicks per turn, about 0.02 mm each.

Materials

Body, lid and catch cup: anodized aluminum. Burrs and axle: stainless steel, two steel ball bearings. Adjustment ring: brushed brass. Crank: stainless steel with an oiled walnut knob. Pouch: waxed cotton with a leather drawstring. Brush: natural bristle, beech handle.

Care and safety

Tap out the grounds and brush the burrs every few weeks. Keep fingers away from the burrs when the lid is off. Do not grind spices, nuts or oily beans. Do not immerse in water or put in a dishwasher. Contains small parts; keep out of reach of children. Dry fully before storing.

Which setting should I start from?

Take the card out of the box: espresso 10 to 16, moka 18 to 22, pour-over 24 to 30, French press 32 to 40. Start in the middle of the range and move two clicks at a time.

How long does 20 g take?

About 45 seconds on a pour-over setting at a relaxed pace, a little longer for espresso. Light roasts are harder and take a few seconds more.

Does it really grind for espresso?

Yes, settings 10 to 16 are made for it. A hand grinder asks for a minute of turning per double shot; if you pull several shots a day, look at One Plus.

Does the setting drift?

The dial clicks into place and stays there. Write your number on the card, and if you lend the grinder to someone, you can come straight back to it.

About Halden

Halden started on a workbench

We wanted a hand grinder that felt like a tool, not a gadget: metal where the beans go, wood where the hand goes, a dial you can read and set by number. One body, one set of burrs, a brass ring with sixty clicks, and a card to write your settings on. That is the whole idea, and it has not needed anything else.
