The Knob Coffee Grinder represents a groundbreaking shift in coffee grinder design. Born from a 2018 design competition where it secured 1st place, the concept was refined over three years and launched via a successful Kickstarter campaign, raising nearly $300,000 and selling over 1,200 units.
Traditional coffee grinders rely on an axle to rotate the grinding burrs, which can cause wobbling and uneven grinds. The Knob Coffee Grinder reimagines this design by eliminating the axle entirely. Instead, it features a unique mechanism that allows direct rotation of the burrs, ensuring a consistently uniform grind. This innovative approach not only improves grind consistency but also enhances overall coffee flavor.
With its step-less adjustment for grind size, the Knob offers unparalleled control, allowing you to fine-tune your grind to perfection. The design also includes a detachable handle for easy portability and a streamlined, easy-to-clean construction.
I personally handled all aspects of industrial design and other design work for the project.
