Pietro

Pietro is an Italian brand of manual coffee grinders, conceived inside Fiorenzato, the Venetian coffee-grinding company founded by Pietro Fiorenzato in 1936 and named after him. The grinder was built around a set of 58 mm flat vertical burrs, a geometry developed to change how the coffee is cut, and launched as a design object as much as a tool.

The grinder is made by Pietro Grinders Srl in Santa Maria di Sala, near Venice, and is offered in a range of finishes — oyster grey, deep black, arctic white, forest green, pastel blue and dusty pink — with matching accessories. The company presents it as a way to grind at home with the result of a coffee bar, in a housing meant to last and to be repaired rather than replaced.
