X-Ultra

For the same price you can get the 1zpresso X-ultra, which is considered to be much better. So it depends on how much effort you want to put in for grinding (especially if you get an espresso machine in the future).

I have an 1zpresso x-ultra and use it for espresso everyday and it's great. That being said if your girlfriend is considering/interested in a nespresso manually grinding coffee beans for espresso is probably the opposite of what she wants to do in the morning

This is an almost impossible price point to achieve. The closest I can suggest to get you real espresso is a manual lever machine ($100 Flair Neo Flex) and a hand grinder ($160 1Zpresso X-Ultra). You would still need to add in some basic tools to make this feasible (~$100? scale, temp controlled wat

Stretch a little more and get the 1Zpresso J Ultra probably the best espresso focused manual grinder in the non/semi professional range. Fixcoffee will give you a 10% discount on your first purchase. It’s listed at 19k and so it will work out to 17k for you. The K Ultra is a superior all round grind

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

I've been through this mess before. Either buy an inexpensive hand grinder cabable of espresso like a Kingrinder K2 or 1Zpresso X-Ultra, or save up for an entry-level electric grinder like the Fellow Opus, Turin DF54, or Barratza Encore ESP. It's a bit of a spend up front, but it's worth it and will

O C2 é ótimo mas ele produz muitos fines. Para quem só faz coado existem sim opções mais eficientes que produzem menos fines e deixam o resultado final com mais clareza, acidez, algo como uma bebida "mais delicada", por assim dizer. O ruim que para vc sentir essa diferença a gente tá falando dum inv

They’ll be quite similar. K has 48mm heptagonal burrs X has 40mm heptagonal burrs They’re so similar that any superiority between the two might be down to the coffee you’re grinding. You might prefer one coffee with the X, and the K might bring out a quality in a different coffee that you really lik

They're all good, so there's no wrong choice. If paying less is important, you can get the cheapest. C2 is older, produces a little more fines than the newer ones, like C3 or C5 Pro. C5 Pro is new and has been getting great reviews. The ones that say ESP are good for espresso too, but you don't need

The K6 is far better than the k2 as it has an external adjustment system. It will be very easy to dial in shots with an external adjustment system. If you are will to spend 20k on a grinder than you have a couple of really good options. If you solely want to do espresso then the 1zpresso J-Ultra is
