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

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 ?

1Zpresso X-Ultra or KinGrinder K6 or TimeMore C3S or some other hand grinder?

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
