HG-1 Solid Flywheel – A New Spin on an Old Classic

When we introduced the original HG-1 back in 2012, one of its most recognizable features was that big, solid silver flywheel. It was substantial, beautifully simple, and very much part of the grinder’s character and identity.

Moving to the HG-1 Prime meant leaving that design behind. And to be honest, losing some of that original character has been one of my bigger regrets.

Our latest HG-1 Prime takes the flywheel in yet another direction with its modern Halo design. But we haven’t forgotten those of you who already own the original Prime, and we certainly don’t want you to feel left out of what’s happening with the new model.

So we’re bringing back a little piece of the original HG-1.

Our new Solid Flywheel is machined from a solid piece of aluminum and weighs in at a hefty 3.5 lb. It’s a nod to the original design, with all the presence and simplicity that made that flywheel special.

The good news is that it’s compatible with both the original HG-1 Prime and the latest version. If you’ve already got a Prime, this gives you another way to change the look and feel of your grinder without replacing the whole thing. And if you’re ordering one of the new models it’s compatible.

Swapping flywheels takes just seconds, and you can reuse your existing flywheel handle. No special modifications required.

We like the idea that our grinders can continue to evolve, even after they’ve found their way into your homes. Not every new idea needs an entirely new grinder.
