Pros and cons
From each full review, written from the same published facts as the scores above.
- +Over 100 clicks at 20 microns each, the finest adjustment of any hand grinder here
- +The full range in one smooth rotation of an external dial, so you are not counting past the coarse settings to reach espresso
- +Aluminium body at 680g, with a carrying case, foldable handle and magnetic catch cup included
- +One-year warranty, stated by 1Zpresso
- −$259 against a $149.95 median, and twice the Kingrinder K6 which also runs a stepped click adjustment
- −No scale and no timer, as with every hand grinder
- −1Zpresso does not publish the burr diameter
- +A built-in scale at 0.1g resolution, which doses by weight rather than by time. Nothing else here does that
- +270 settings on 40mm conical burrs at 650rpm and 200W
- +Ships with a shut-off hopper, grounds bin and grind-range shims
- +One-year warranty, made in Taiwan
- −$599.95, the second most expensive grinder here after the Niche Zero, and four times the $149.95 median
- −One year of cover on a $600 machine
- −No timer, because it doses by weight, which is a different workflow if you are used to one
