Hand-crank burr coffee grinder
A countertop mill turned by hand, with a burr set and a named grind adjustment.
Last updated: September 2026
What this product is
Hand-crank coffee mills belong in a manual-tool file, and this sourcing note keeps motors, plugs, and battery bases out of the build. A typical assembly uses a burr set in stainless steel or ceramic, together with a stepped or stepless adjustment that must be named so the grind range is not an unlabeled dial. Indicative unit cost inside the published band covers the housing, the crank, and a grounds catcher. Moving from steel burrs to ceramic, or from a thin shell to a heavier wall, changes the approximate figure. Estimated retail sits with countertop coffee tools because the mill is meant to stay on a counter, while any margin reading is approximate and varies with finish, a second jar, and the printed carton. Potential mark work is usually a body logo or a crank color, and that line is quoted apart from the base mill. Worth sampling are grind evenness across the stated adjustment, a crank that stays tight, and a cup that seats without a gap. A powered grinder would be a different item with its own cost and paperwork.

Why it is interesting
- A hand mill reads as a lasting kitchen tool, so the retail band can sit above a small gadget if the burr and adjustment are explained clearly.
- Burr material and adjustment style are visible spec choices that give a buyer a real private-label difference without turning the item into an electric appliance.
What to specify

- Form
- Counter mill with hopper, crank, and body
Customization and private label
Body marking, crank color, and catch-cup finish are usual private-label options and are priced apart from the base mill.
Some customization is realistic on this kind of product. Private label packaging is often possible once artwork is approved. Read how private label manufacturing in China is handled, and when a new product needs the OEM/ODM path.
How the desk would source it
- Note 1. Keep the quote on a manual mechanism. An electric or USB mill is a separate product with its own cost and compliance path.
- Note 2. Ask for burr material, adjustment type, and a grind sample across the stated range before you lock a finish.
The usual path is the same as other China factory sourcing: confirm the spec, compare factories, sample, then inspect before shipment. China supplier verification and China quality inspection are available. Goods can be received at the Xiamen warehouse and moved through China warehouse consolidation or sea, air, and express freight.
Questions about this product
Is this an electric grinder?
No. This note is a manual crank mill. A motorized version would be specified and priced on its own.
What has to be named in the spec?
Burr material, such as stainless steel or ceramic, and the adjustment style, stepped or stepless, should both be written on the quote.
What usually moves the unit cost?
Burr type, shell weight, and a second jar are typical drivers. The margin band stays estimated and varies with packaging.
