Best one?
Taste... Q air (burrs close to Comandante c40 nitro) build not so much. Espresso capability not so much. P2 best Vfm and better espresso capability than q air but again, build quality not so much. C3s build quality awesome, may outlive you. Evolution of time tested c2. You need a mod to make it espr

Help me choose
C3s - best build quality and vfm - all metal construction - suitable for every being method except espresso. Need not even look at the other timemore option. 1zpresso q3 - plastic construction. Overpriced. People say that it has slightly better burrs than c3s - but even q3 can't do espresso. I think

Q air solid for AP, FP and probably moka pot as well. Good burrs, good taste but build quality not as good as timemore. Else timemore c3s. Good build quality and with mod later can be made espresso capable. But taste wise q air will be better probably. You may also go for kingrinder p2 which is Espr

Looking to build my first home coffee setup on a budget. What should I buy first?
At that price range, you have 3 options: 1zpresso Q Air, Kingrinder P2 and Timemore C3S. All are more or less equally good. I use the C3S and dont think I'll be upgrading any time soon. However, none of them can grind for espresso reliably. So if you do plan to get into expensive machines eventually

1Zpresso ON SALE ! Should i get over c3s ?
Aeropress can be used in many different ways. I use it to make soup and thick espresso style coffee. I prefer using the c3s for this. If you download the Aeropress app it actually gives you recipes along with the grind settings for your grinder. The Timemore c3 is in the app too. This helps a great

1Zpresso X-Ultra or KinGrinder K6 or TimeMore C3S or some other hand grinder?
Since you are looking for PourOver and Aeropress you can go with Timemore c3s. But if you are planning to move to espresso machines then K6 or X-Ultra depending on your budget

If you are sure that you won't be doing espresso then definitely go for Timemore C3S but if you plan on having an espresso set up as well (even a portable one) get C3Esp

Grinder Recommendations please!
Timemore c3s is the sweet spot, and is not that expensive. (All metal build) (most tested and reliable for even starter espresso) Only go for something expensive if you are really into espresso or you want that click setting to be outside of the grinder( these tend to be bit more expensive) You can
