J-Ultra

This whole concept of things being better/ worse just doesn't hold true most of the time. Once you get to a certain point in coffee equipment, there isn't really such thing as better or worse. Just different. I don't really know what you expect to get out of the J ultra that you don't get out of you

More clarity for both methods is the X. Not that the J isn’t a good grinder. It’s great. It produces a more traditional, espresso, that has a rich, syrupy aftertaste and it’ll emphasize the more traditional coffee flavors (cocoa, caramel, nuts). I have an X-Pro and a J-Ultra and I use both for espre

I’ve had an X-Pro S for over 2 years (predecessor to the X-Ultra). I love the grinder. It’s a fantastic all-purpose grinder (as is the K). The burrs were slightly changed when they came out with the X-Ultra, but you get more for your $$$ with the Ultra - it has a magnetic catch cup and comes with a

Yes! 1000%. I bought the J-ultra 2 years ago with the same question. It was the best coffee decision I have made. It takes some getting used to get proper grind sizes for different beans and brewing methods. But a good grinder will make any bean taste better. It took a lot of the bitterness away fro

I got rid of my Jura z7 and zero regrets. I loved the simplicity of the Jura, but the coffee cannot compare. It is also the polar opposite - you will learn about every aspect of making espresso with the Robot - I would suggest even using a hand grinder at first to fully appreciate every step of the

My espresso setup started with a sage barista pro, then got j-ultra, then flair 58+ then replaced my j-ultra for the df83v. Moving from the sage built-in grinder to j-ultra was a huge improvement (say 50% better) . Moving from the sage to the flair was another big imrpovement (say 20%). The switch f

Having had a Flair 58 for over 2 years now, I can highly recommend it. If you’re considering one and it appeals to you, do it! As for grinders, I have 3 - The Ode Gen 1 (upgraded to Gen 2 burrs recently), and a 1Zpresso X-Pro and a J-Ultra. I use all of the above for the F58. As for the K-Ultra, by

Of course. ZP6 is the clarity king which is for filter coffee. I can't make espresso with ZP6 without pressurized baskets. J Ultra, on the other hand is the espresso grinder. Though 1zpresso did show the chart of J Ultra for filter coffee but I found brewing filter coffee with J Ultra may make my co

I love my J-Ultra, and will continue to use it, it makes fantastic coffee. I’m just a hobbyist, and like shiny new things. I’ve wanted to try a ‘large’ conical burr, as everything I’ve read says that they lean more into what I want in my espresso (thick body, crema, dark, warm flavors), and well, so

It's one of those things that will be personal preference. Both C5 ESP and S3 ESP are listed as having 0.015 mm adjustments per click. So they will be able to dial in similarly to find your ideal grind settings for espresso shots. They do use different burr sets. The C5 ESP uses the S2C-042-III. The
