JavaPresse is well known for their specialty organic coffee lines. Since the company prides itself on higher quality coffee it is no surprise to see a high quality coffee grinder with their logo on it. At least this is what JavaPresse claims and what brand wouldn't claim this?
According to JavaPresse the manual grinder is built with a professional grade ceramic conical burr which is designed to extract the optimal flavor from your coffee beans. Higher quality coffee beans will typically come with a higher cost and having a grinder that will extract optimal flavor only makes sense.
You wouldn't buy a premium car and use regular gasoline right?
