Which Hand Grinder do I Get??

I’ll take my Comandante C40 Mk4 to my grave. It’s built like a tank and gives me delicious coffee every day. Best purchase I’ve made so far. Have used it extensively across v60, French Press, Kalita and Clever Dripper. Trades a little bit of clarity, but I really like the extra body it gives me.

3 weeks with the Fellow Series 1 - very mixed and conflicted about keeping

I also have had a really good experience with the S1. I moved from a Breville Bambino and the Fellow S1 is lightyears better IMO. I turned off the volumetric stop after my first 2 pulls and went back to using a scale to manually stop my shot and that immediately gave me control of shot volume. I'm u

Lightweight travel grinder [$300]

Yeah I was doing a bit of Gemini-ing for my own curiousity. Respectfully, I still don't really think the constraints here make sense (eg if you're going an extended period, then coffee bean weight itself gets pretty substantial). If I had to do something within the confines, here's some LLM-generate

Upgrading from Fellow Opus for Flair Pro 2 – DF64 Gen 2 or 1Zpresso J-Ultra?

I have a Comandante C40 MK3 which was the best option in the spring of 2021. (The catch jar fits perfectly in the funnel included with the Flair Pro 2) I've never had the urge to purchase a different hand grinder. J-Ultra, Kinu M47, C40 MK4 all have comparable prices where I am and I'd be surprised

Pour Over Coffee - Newbie Gift

A hand grinder would be a better investment. Depending by where you are you could get a Comandante C40 Mk4 (the gold standard and overall endgame hand-grinder) + a stovetop gooseneck kettle (something like a westmark or similar) and literally any scale with .1 tolerance will do. If a Comandante is o

Varia vs4 grind settings

I just wasted half a bag of beans dialing the VS4 in. According to the grind size chart in the manual espresso range is between 2 and 5. I'm all the way at 8.Coming from a C40 Mk4 and was at 17 (8-9) clicks with red clix with the same bean. That's in the lower end on the comandantes grind size chart

Girlfriend Says Hand Grinder Has to Go - Help Me Choose My First Electric Grinder [~500€]

I love my hand grinder if I’m honest, I use my Comandante C40 MK4 nearly every day for filter coffee, I really don’t mind the process of it, doesn’t take much time to grind 40.5g which is my normal dose for my morning pot on my Moccamaster. I also own a Niche Zero, I have owned it for about 4 years

Taking a trip to Hawaii, looking into a manual grinder to bring with my AP.

Timemore nano3 fits in-the plunger with handle removed, 15-17gr max though, otherwise Comandante C40 mk4 but a bit overkill and does mot fit in the plunger, have both and super satisfying

[MOD] The Daily Question Thread

I’m overthinking about what grinder to buy. I’m looking for a grinder to compliment my new ZP6. I’m between two now the comandante c40 mk4 or the 1zpresso k ultra. I’m not sure if they produce the same cup or similar. I want a round cup for when I want that type of coffee profile, so not sure where
