HeyCafe Jack All Round Grinder Overview
The HeyCafe Jack is an all-purpose home coffee grinder with 64mm steel burrs and stepless grind adjustment. It skips programmability in favor of simple start/stop operation, and it can be used either hopper fed or for single dosing.
A height adjustable tray accommodates dosing cups and containers of various sizes, and you can also hold a portafilter directly under the spout. The housing is durable cast aluminum, available with glossy black or white powder coating. With no programmability, operation comes down to start and stop, which anyone can approach. HeyCafe designed the grinder with long-term usability in mind rather than current trends, and the ability to move between hopper and single dose use reflects that thinking.
