1Zpresso

"I can really tell the difference"

"I have the JX Pro and love using it."

"A second vote for the 1ZPresso J-Ultra. An excellent grinder at a reasonable price point."

"It would be J-Ultra."

"I've been very happy with my 1Zpresso J-Ultra, and appreciate its 8-micron steps."

"A nice factor of the 1Zpresso J-Ultra, beyond its obvious quality and output, is its 8-micron steps"

"I like my 1Zpresso Q2 with the Heptagonal burr."

"I personally love the external adjustment, rather than reaching into the grounds. I have the JX Pro and love the heck out of it."

"I am a big fan of 1Zpresso. :)"

"1zpresso q2 heptagonal on aliexpress"

"KINGrinder K6 indeed looks like a good bet for you for most bang for your book."

"Bang for the buck."

"Best $99 you’ll spend."

"Best value: Kingrinder K6 or Timemore S3"

"Amazing grinder for the price, been using it for the past week exclusively for the moka as my travel set-up over the holidays."

"Best value: Kingrinder K6 or Timemore S3"

"Timemore c2"

"Timemore C2 Max grinds exactly a 6-cup basket."

"I have the timemore chestnut c2, and it's really good. It’s easy to use, durable, and produces a consistent grind."

"Timemore C3 ESP yung gamit ko ngayon for about 2 weeks now."

"I use a Timemore C2 and love it. Especially for the price."

"Get a Timemore C2/C3 or a Kingrinder."

"C40 with the red clix upgrade. It will last so long they'll be able to grind your cremated remains with it."

"I'm extremely happy with it. All-metal construction and grinds really fast."

"Look at the Timemore C3 and C3S. Outstanding value for money."

Comandante

4.6

(58)

"Have a Comandante with red clix, every click is 15 microns difference max."

"Comandante c40 is top of the top."

"I haven't let me down once."

"For me the commandante has been the best ive tried!"

"If you don't mind the internal grind adjustment (I don't at all), the C40 is awesome."

"I wouldn't change it for the world."

"I went with the Comandante X25 Trailmaster as its top-quality."

"I love my commandante and it was about 350-400 canadian."

"I use a Comandante C40 Mk4 for V60, Kalita, Chemex."

Kinu

4.8

(20)

"Been grinding my beans daily with the Kinu M47 for 3-4 years."

"I love them both."

"The m47 gives more 'juicy' cups."

"I really like my Kinu M47 Phoenix which can be dialed in very precisely."

"My favorite is the Kinu for dark and medium roasts and the zp6 for light roasts."

"I love it, have never had any qualms."

"The Kinu is a beast."

"In the end, I went with the Kinu."

"Kinu M47 is your answer. A fantastic piece of engineer."

"It doesn’t get better than the Kinu m47 classic."

Pietro

4.3

(17)

"Pietro with the pro brewing burrs. can do espresso fine no problem and the level of clarity on brighter notes is pretty much unmatched"

"Pietro, I think is going to be best."

"The 'end game' hand grinder options for filter are in my opinion the Pietro or the ZP6."

"A little more expensive but my Pietro with pro burs is incredible. I can’t recommend it enough."

"Yeah, Pietro with pro brew burrs!"

"If you have the budget for Pietro, it is the endgame."

"I have an Ode Gen 2 and had a Pietro with the Pro Brew burrs."

"I have a pietro and love it."

"The Pietro would be the hand grinder to get at a similar price."

"I don't live in the EU, but as I understand it's possible to buy Pietro for about 350€."

ZP6

4.5

(13)

"I’ll second that ZP6 is great for high ratio turbos."

"Just save and get a zp6"

"I am waiting on my ZP6 Special."

"ZP6 for ultimate clarity or K Ultra would be my picks."

"ZP6 special. It's very easy to grind even for very light roasted beans."

"ZP6 if strictly for the V60."

"Literally just got the zp6 as an upgrade to my jx-pro."

"Zp6 or new normcore (ghost or flat burrs will do, depending on your taste preference)."

"I have a ZP6 and a Craig Lynn HG-1 Prime."

"Zp6 for pour over light roast."

K6

4.8

(9)

"The K6 is hefty, very well built, feels like quality, and is a joy to use."

"Nothing is significantly better than K6"

"I just got a K6 last week and it's been working wonders."

"K6 slaps."

"I upgraded from the porlex mini and couldn’t be more happier with the upgrade."

"It's outdated and the K6 can go toe to toe with it."

"I’ve never brewed a bad cup and thought ‘Maybe I need to upgrade my grinder.’ It’s definitely up there when it comes to value-for-money."

"The K6 is a good option or you can go with the Timemore C3 which is a good starter grinder."

"The K6 is larger (if you’re brewing the same beans for more than one person) this is nice."

1Zpresso Q2

4.0

(9)

"The 1z Q2 actually can do espresso."

"I use the 1zpresso Q2 for pourover - not for espresso by any means."

"I agree an $80 q2 with 20% off is your best bet right now."

"I'm pretty sure the Q2 fits inside the aeropress."

"I have a Q2 hepta and a K-Pro."

"I feel like Aeropress is forgiving enough that Q2 will suffice."

"1zpresso Q2. Cheaper, smaller, lighter, and easier to use than the k series."

"Maybe the 1Zpresso Q2 fit some of your requirements."

"I have a heptagonal Q2 and I really like it."

"The Q2 is a great little travel grinder with a nice workflow."

(5)

"K-Ultra, ZP6,..."
