J-Ultra

Big spectrum indeed. (I know you know all this, but I liked to add from here for OP.) I have two grinders, 1Zpresso J-Ultra and Mazzer Omega X Soft Burrs. You can’t go dead slow on a hand grinder anyways, you need muscle through it and try to keep a reasonable rpm. In my J-Ultra some dark roast are

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

Correct, I got the HG-1 Prime. I wanted larger, higher quality burrs without breaking the bank. And the reviews I found indicated it was what I was after: lots of body with a bit more clarity than usual for conical burrs. I'm not after hyper clarity in my coffee and usually make medium-dark espresso

I actually disagree with this take. I personally preferred the K6 a lot more, and I like very sharp tasting light roast, funky processed coffee. I felt the J Ultra made everything too ‘same’. On that note though, the K6 failed me for the darkest of roasts, where it was simply bitter, while grinders

If you go manual probably a 1zpresso j-ultra for a grinder. It is supposed to be doable when you use a power drill. For me the workflow would be too cumbersome though. Electric, check what's available in the 2nd hand market around you. I bought a Mazzer Mini recently for €80. I had a new exit chute

Do you live in Uruguay by any chance lol. Here is quite expensive to get those products. I bought K6 for 40 bucks more than expected. Which isn't that much TBF now that I think . Other comment said it. You either get K6 or you go with 1Zpresso J-Ultra

Just the stock 1 shim under the burr. That shim seems to be thicker than the 2 ones provided in the package by Varia along the replacement springs etc. The shots are not too good and I pulled about 14 already with the coffee I usually drink - Ethiopia light roast, so far they are worse in taste and

I appreciate all the info! Yeah I knew the blade grinder wasn't going to be good but it worked for some sweet milk drinks for a while. I've only been really discouraged the last couple months since I splurged in a j-ultra and just couldnt get the dial in right. I use a scale to measure dose and shot

Interesting I'd say that the bitterness depends on the coffee as well there are certainly some beans that are not bitter at all using J-ultra, what I find annoying is the muddied cup like the flavours are not as clear and pronounced, but since my lack of experience I don't know if it's the part of t

I roast my own coffee (Aillio bullet r2) and do light roasted coffee. I recently went on vacation to the beach and my Lagom mini stopped working on me. I bought a J Ultra on Amazon since it was the only option I could get delivered quickly and OMG that was not a pleasant experience. Hand grinding li
