Store FAQ

What is Zerno's commitment to sustainability?

At Zerno, we craft our grinders from premium, durable materials designed to last — reducing waste and our environmental impact. This same care goes into our packaging, which is purpose-built to protect your Z1 during shipping.


We encourage you to keep your original packaging. Should your grinder ever need to come back to us or be shipped elsewhere, it ensures safe travel and helps us all uphold a commitment to sustainability.

Do you ship worldwide?

We do ship throughout the world, however some countries are restricted. Contact info@zerno.co to see if we ship to your location.

Is tax included in pricing?

International taxes, such as import and VAT duties are not included in pricing and may be requested by your local government at the time of delivery.

We are shifting away from the seasonal drops we have held in the past, toward making the Z1 available for purchase anytime.

We have not announced a release date yet, but plan to announce via our newsletter as soon as those details come together.

Does my Z1 have the same features as previous versions?

We regularly make micro-improvements in between batches. Your Z1 will ship with the very latest technology and updates available. Contact info@zerno.co to find the exact specs on your Z1 grinder.

Are your blind burrs only compatible with the Z1?

Yes - 64mm blind burrs are a Zerno innovation, and only compatible with the Z1 grinder.

What makes burr sets different?

Different burr designs can express different qualities of the bean, producing a wide range of flavor profiles, body, and finish. See our burr guide for more information.

What is the difference between the standard feed and slow feed auger?

Our auger designs control the flow of beans into the grind chamber, and can impact the flavor profile and body of your brew. See our prebreaker page for more information.
