Scores higher on grind consistency, dosing & workflow, value for money.

• +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

• +Published retention under 0.1g even without the bellow, which is the lowest figure any grinder here states
• +A plasma ioniser in the exit chute to kill static, and an anti-popcorn disc that also speeds up grinding
• +Stepless adjustment on a chrome dial with a metal indicator
• +Designed around single dosing rather than offering it as an option, with a 58mm dosing cup included

• −No price is published for it here
• −No warranty term is published
• −A 50g hopper with the bellow fitted, so it is a one-dose-at-a-time machine by design
