About this deal
You can achieve a level of consistency similar to commercial grinders with a premium model like the 1Zpresso Jx Manual grinders, in general, are very durable. Of course, it depends on each model, but as long as they are made of materials such as strong plastic (like the Hario Mini) or steel (such as the Porlex), you don’t have much to worry about. Bonus info : There’s also a bigger version called “C2 Max”, which has a slightly larger capacity at around 30 grams. In daily use The Q2 isn’t precisely featherweight at 405 grams; however, for most people, it would be perfectly acceptable. Since you will have a minuscule amount of retained, stale grounds, you can be sure that that the next dose you grind, will taste fresh. A hand grinder can help you make delicious coffee
In many ways, Hario is synonymous with the third-wave movement. The Japanese brand just oozes ‘slow coffee.’ A blade grinder works in the same way as your kitchen blender. In other words, it chops the beans to bits via rotating blades. It won’t produce the best grinding results due to inconsistency but they are a cheaper option. As they need a lot of speed, it’s not possible to get a blade hand coffee grinder.
Of course, everything is relative, and you might make a 1-liter French press every morning. In that case, you’d probably be served better with an electric grinder or a hand grind with an enormous capacity such as the Lido 3. The mechanism that actually grinds your coffee beans is either a burr or a blade. And they produce very different results.
Meanwhile, the JX-Prouses a standard burr set. The geometry of the inner burr design lends itself to finer grinds, making them more suited to espresso.Pro-tip: Both the Porlex Mini and the 1Zpresso Mini Q actually fit inside an Aeropress which makes them ideal for travel travel! They don’t develop any heat while grinding K-Max is all-new to 2021 from 1Zpresso and can be viewed as the successor to the K-Pro. Manufactured from high-grade Aluminium alloy with a brushed/matted 'iron-grey' finish for easy cleaning. At the end of the day, use the facts above to inform your own decision-making, but know that the grinders and their burr sets have been designed to target a brew method.
