M47 Classic

First off, my tool is an offshoot of the excellent desktop app by coffee genius Jonathan Gagné: https://coffeeadastra.com/2019/04/07/an-app-to-measure-your-coffee-grind-size-distribution-2/ Mine is web-based and will be open source, just like the original. The use case is exactly this one, understan

I commented on your previous post - reiterating my thoughts here just to keep the conversation going: Kinu M47 Simplicity here, and no complaints so far. I love the external stepless adjustment, magnetic catch cup, solid metal construction, built-in funnel, and the ability to swap the classic espres

I’m torn on this one tbh. I like the espresso and pour over that I get out of the ESP Pro. Switching back and forth is very easy and repeatable with the digital setting display. That said, I just added a hand grinder (Kinu M47 Classic with pour over burrs) specifically for pour over and the results

I really like my Kinu M47 Classic, with the pour over burr. It’s built like a tank. They have a good deal going on the “M47 Phoenix Brew” which comes with the POB standard. The other burr is designed more for finer grinds, though some people prefer it for pour over too.

Because the price:quality ratio is much better on a hand grinder because you arent paying for expensive custom electronics and motors, it allows for the money to be spent on more important things like burr and build quality. I hand grind my espresso (and sometimes pour over if i can be bothered swit

Doesn't exactly answer your question but if you enjoy the hand-grinding ritual as I do, nothing thus far beats the tactile feel (smoothness), relative speed or build of a Kinu M47 Classic, which you can get with both an espresso and pourover burr (easy to switch) and which is easy to disassemble and

Are you happy with the Baratza for pour over? If so, I think a good interim step would be the Baratza ESP Pro. It’s barely more expensive than the K-Ultra and a lot more flexible. Solid espresso results (for the money) and very easy to reliably switch between fine and coarser grinds with the digital

The Kinu M47 series is very well-regarded for espresso. They also sell a replacement burr designed specifically for pour over if you end up going that route. I have the M47 Classic and really like it. That said, hand grinding for espresso is quite a workout. Make sure it’s something you’re up for.

FWIW, I opted for a dedicated hand grinder for pour over (Kinu M47 Classic). I wouldn’t consider hand grinding for espresso, but the results have been great and the workflow is nice (and quiet!) in the morning.

Same. The idea of hand grinding for espresso isn’t appealing to me, and I didn’t really notice a difference in quality so I let my electric grinder handle that. Happy I switched to my hand grinder (Kinu M47 Classic) for pour over though. Definitely an improvement in flavor and consistency. I can onl
