1zpresso Q air or Timemore C3

Save money with a timemore c2s if you're brewing fp only, or just get a Kingrinder K6 if you're planning to get an espresso setup in future.

Should I just not buy cheap grinders? (1000Rs)

The Timemore C2S is premium feel, all-metal build quality, it can't do espresso grind. The Kingrinder P2 is a better choice for coffee enthusiasts looking for a sweeter cup profile and espresso versatility. The biggest+ve for P2 is that it's plastic, the catch cup will not deform on drop, and it's b

Coffee Grinder Query for experienced people

If you are looking for espresso the gear does matter a lot and grinder is even more important because a lot of the grinders can’t grind fine enough for espresso So getting a good grinder , timemore c2/c2s/c3 or 1zpressi q air would help your workflow and make good coffee as well

Recommendations for a good home espresso machine under 30K, mainly asking as a beginner in espresso but an amateur in overall coffee making and drinking. any suggestions are appreciated!

Has this been the lowest its ever been? The steam wand can be a bit of a deal breaker in a way... I have a timemore c2s but not sure if I can get espresso sized grinds

best budget hand grinders! BUDGET: [$120]

the Timemore C5 ESP (recently introduced), under USD 65 on Ali Express not plastic + very premium build, suitable for pressurized espresso (C2/C2S/K0 are not)

Guys is this good and suggest me a good grinder under budget or should I buy ground coffee ?

Timemore c2s isnt made for espresso. The lowest you can do is the encore esp. Among hand grinders built for espresso, the kingrinder j ultra is recommended. Anyways i think you should introspect over the decision for espresso making. There are several other brewers worth 1/10th the cost that also pr
