In Munich, 2018, weary of the search for a truly functional, innovative, and uniquely designed grinder, we embarked on a mission to create our own. From our humble rented apartment in Munich, the initial sketches and designs emerged. Armed with tools from the local Baumarkt and fueled by boundless enthusiasm, we set our sights on Kärntern, Austria.

In the tranquil surroundings of our vacation home nestled among the Austrian Alps, the first prototypes took shape in our garage. With patience, dedication, and vintage machinery inherited from our grandfather (dating back to the 1960s), the first Stona grinder was born.

In June 2019, we launched a crowdfunding campaign on Kickstarter, and thanks to the overwhelming support from around the globe, Stona officially came to life. We are forever grateful to all who believed in and supported our vision.

In 2023, we relocated Stona and its production to the vibrant city of Berlin, where we feel Stona has truly found its home.

Oh, and who are we? We are Andrea and Flo, two dreamers turned creators, driven by our passion for innovation and design. When we're not crafting beautiful grinders, you can find us enjoying a good coffee at the terraces of Berlin, exploring new trails on our mountain bikes, and in winter, enjoying some time snowboarding in Austria.

Thank you for being a part of our journey and welcome to the Stona family!
