 Description
If you own a Hario Skerton, or a Kyocera CM-50CF Hand Coffee Grinder, you likely find you're satisfied with the fine grinding capabilities of these grinders, but observe that the coarse grind performance falls short, particularly if you are trying to grind very coarse for French Press Brewing.  Through experimentation we have found that the stabilization of the burr by the addition of a lower bearing greatly adds to the stability of the burr mechanism, and improves the performance for coarse coffee grinding.  Installed in the Kyocera CM-50CF we call the grinder PFP - Performs For Press. 

We are now offering the stainless steel lower bearing, as a DIY (Do It Yourself) kit for use in the Hario Skerton or the Kyocera CM-50CF (They are the same grinder design!)  The stainless steel bearing is manufactured to very close tolerance for the burr axle.  Installation is simple, though requires patience, and a couple of basic tools.  This kit includes the Lower Bearing, as well as a hand modified brass washer for the inner burr to axle stabilization.  Instructions by video on Youtube.  Grinder not included. 

PLEASE NOTE:  Out of the box, both the Skerton & CM-50 are good for fine grinding, BUT IF YOU upgrade for good coarse performance you will SEVERELY affect the capability for fine - it is a trade off - once upgraded for coarse, fine is not so good!  One or the other, you can't have both with these grinders! 

If your goal is to modify your Skerton or CM50 for coarse grinding you will find the addition of the lower bearing does allow these grinders to Perform For Press!
