We are preparing to launch Hiku very soon on Dec 5 via Kickstarter. We hope people who are reading this will love this design as much as we enjoyed creating it.
Hiku is an all-new, precision engineered hand coffee grinder for the discerning coffee enthusiast. Reimagined and designed literally from the grounds up, Hiku was conceived to be the new premium benchmark that reflects our obsessive attention to detail for purpose-built coffee hardware.
It features several patenting pending innovations that we believe make it the new benchmark for hand grinders, and those who want premium, no-compromise coffee hardware. These include an industry-first, seven fluted conical burr, the largest of any handheld grinder, a shaft stabilization system and nonlinear stepless grind size adjustment. These features work in conjunction with the aluminum chassis and food-safe stainless steel and ceramic hybrid bearings to deliver a smooth grind that maintains perfect concentricity for absolutely class-leading grind particle size distribution.
Hiku is a finely tuned instrument in the world of coffee hardware. We believe that its innovations combine artfully with a sophisticated and timeless design to make Hiku the most desirable hand coffee grinder available.

Hiku - The Features that Surprise You
Sleek, Precise and Timeless Design
Hiku perfectly blends precision with sophistication. Its tough, CNC machined aluminum body is subtly textured to feel absolutely great in the hand, while lending any countertop an air of elegance. The matching grind cup detaches with a satisfying twist and holds up to 50 g of coffee; sufficient for 5 cups of pour over. An artfully sculpted walnut knob and machined handle make grinding a smooth and tactile experience.
Stepless Grind Size Adjustment Ring
A tactile revelation that allows infinite and effortless fine control
Patent-pending Seven Fluted Conical Burr, a Grounds Up Masterpiece
Exclusive, all-new 41mm burrset achieves class-leading output and grind consistency with a unique concentric design.
Brew a Better Coffee with Hiku
Consistent and Uniform Grinding Experience
Our engineers developed the stabilizing shaft to work in conjunction with the inner burr to eliminate any chance of wobble or misalignment. We even replaced the age-old wire wound spring with a wave spring that more uniformly compresses the mechanism to maintain alignment. Hybrid, food-safe stainless steel and ceramic ball bearings provide the right amount of rotational feel while ensuring the cranking torque is directly transferred through the mechanism to the coffee beans.
Enjoy Coffee Anywhere You Like
Hiku forces no compromise when you need to make coffee on-the-go. Weighing less than two pounds and far smaller than a typical 16 oz insulated water bottle, Hiku can travel where electric and other grinders cannot. The machined handle detaches from Hiku while the lid remains in-place. Slip Hiku into your backpack or duffle and everything you love about fine coffee can be enjoyed anywhere.
No More Compromise with Hiku!
