Outin – Fino grinder Space Grey – Automatic Grinder

The Outin Fino is a battery-powered electric grinder designed especially for travel, but it works just as well at home. Its compact build, fast charging and versatile grind adjustment make it a practical choice for coffee lovers who always want freshly ground coffee to hand. The Outin Fino also works seamlessly with the Outin Nano espresso maker if you are after a compact but capable set-up.

At the heart of the grinder are 38 mm conical burrs made from hardened 420 steel with a hardness of HRC 56-60. As a result, grinding is fast and the grind is consistent from batch to batch. The adjustment system has 10 main steps, each with three intermediate steps. A setting of 2-1, for example, means main step 2 and intermediate step 1. So you can make precise fine adjustments without having to start calibrating from scratch.

The Outin Fino covers practically every brewing method from espresso to French press. For espresso the range is 1-0 – 2-2, for pour over 6-0 – 10-0, and for a moka pot 3-0 – 5-2. With the Outin Nano in particular, a setting of 2-1 or coarser is recommended so that extraction works properly and the flavour is full. At full power, the grinder also grinds 18 grams of medium-roast coffee about 22 per cent faster than earlier models.

It is simple to use. Pour the beans into the swivelling bean hopper, which locks by turning it right and opens by turning it left. A double tap or a long press starts grinding. The dosing funnel included makes it easy to transfer the ground coffee to a filter or portafilter accurately and tidily. The lid on the grounds container also lets you take pre-ground coffee with you without any extra containers.

The battery has a capacity of 1000 mAh and fully charges in an hour. It weighs just 690 grams and is 73 mm in diameter, so the Outin Fino fits easily in a backpack side pocket. The grinder can even come on a flight, as long as you keep it in your hand luggage and do not use it in the air. At home, battery power means you do not need a socket at all.

So who is it for? The Outin Fino is a good choice for coffee enthusiasts who want freshly ground coffee at the office, at the summer cottage or on the road. It also suits Outin Nano users looking for a coffee grinder designed for exactly that use. For home baristas who already own a separate grinder, the Fino makes a handy travel companion with no need to compromise on quality.

All in all, the Outin Fino combines compactness, versatility and enough precision in a package that will not frustrate you on the road. In the cup, this shows as even extraction and a clean flavour, whatever the brewing method. Find out more on Outin's own website and order the Outin Fino directly from Haimoo Roastery.
