looking for a hand grinder that can grind light roast espresso to pour overs [$200]

Check out 1ZPresso K-Ultra. Light roast beans ground fine enough for espresso is going to be difficult with any hand grinder. You might want to do strength exercises on your arms before attempting it 😀

Gifted an incredible machine but can’t afford a top tier grinder to match…what’s good enough? [$250]

If you don't mind manual grinding, that would certainly be the best value solution. The J Series 1Zpresso, K-Ultra or a Kinu M47 would be absolutely killing it at that price point. I sometimes use my K-Ultra over my Philos for Espresso and I heard the same in regards to the M47. Plus the K-Ultra wou

Is The Gaggia E24 and E24 Pro the same?

The Normcore 58,5mm? and what bottomless portafilter would you reccomend? I still have an 1zpresso K Ultra grinder which should also be able to grind espresso style coffee but obviously not optimally since it‘s mainly for pourovers.

How Good Is a Stock Gaggia Classic Pro?

I have a standard gaggia classic pro and I did two things to get better espresso. I got a 9 bar spring and I got a 1Zpresso k-ultra hand grinder and the finished product is a whole different world. The biggest difference was getting a better grinder. The DF series should be fine (pun intended).

Which grinder is good with Mara X V2

I have a Timemore 064S and a 1Zpresso K-Ultra. Since the 064S is stepless, it’s really versatile for both espresso and V60. So far, both grinders have given me very similar results.I’ve mostly been brewing dark roasts, and on both grinders I seem to get the best shots around 1.4–1.6. That gives me a

Anyone using a Pietro with Pro Brew burrs for espresso? Curious your experience. How does it compare to MP burrs for espresso?

Not sure if I'm the one to copy regarding espresso as I'm still kinda new to the game, but my ratio is pretty standard 1:2 up to 1:2,5 at about 30 seconds using the Aram Espresso Maker with a 53mm basket. Just a brief update regarding the Pietro and espresso: I realized that my 1zpresso K Ultra is t

[MOD] The Daily Question Thread

For manual hand grinders, the 1ZPresso K-Ultra is tough to beat for espresso, but it's also one of the pricier options if you don't want to commit right away.

Suche eine Handmühle

I have never brewed Mokka, but is there any reason the usual recommendations for handgrinders capable enough for pourover and espresso wouldn't be adequate? I've been so ecstatic with my 1ZPresso K-Ultra that I sold my Fellow Ode. I can't imagine it wouldn't work perfectly well for Mokka.
