J-Ultra

To me it looks like you need to grind finer. If your grinder is already on its lowest / finest setting then it's time for a new grinder. Same thing happened to me. I didn't want to buy another electric grinder because it's just me that uses it on my household I went with the 1zpresso J ultra manual

Once you get great grinders, it's mostly about preference. Not "this much better". I would absolutely encourage you to try 1Zpresso hand grinders if the idea of hand grinding is tolerable. Some people will never consider it. I have over $10k worth of grinders at home and use a 1zpresso as much as an

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

If you ever wanted a portable manual grinder, the 1Zpresso J ultra is better than "good enough". I use mine 3 times a day for the last year and am so impressed. I don't even use my high end electric grinder anymore. It's never a bad idea to have a manual hand grinder as backup anyway.

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 chose the J-Ultra because it offered the finest adjustment of any similar manual grinder. The steps are twice as fine as the JX-pro I used previously and works for all the various coffees I pull shots from. The external grind adjustment is easy to use. Everything takes a little longer than an elec

Manual hand grinders are great for most uses and often better value for your money than electric grinders BUT they can be a chore for espresso. Hand grinding for espresso quickly became a nuisance for me. For all other brew methods they’re great! If you’ll be doing espresso often I’d recommend going

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 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
