Comparison of Premium Hand Grinders

[@YumEspressoYum]

Great video! I'm a new coffee nerd and just got introduced to your channel! -- oh how i wish you guys included KINGrinder here! Have you heard of them?Apparently its the same manufacturer as izpresso... Would love to hear your thoughts on that and the Picopresso! Not seeing a video for the pico either! Appreciate your time!

[@vadims4840]

Actually Timemore are Chinese grinders, and 1zpresso are from Taiwan. It doesn't speak about quality, but if you'd like to say it, it is worth saying it more precisely

[@primacoffeeequipment]

@@vadims4840 Both Timemore and 1Zpresso hand grinders are definitely made in China. 1Z is only headquartered in Taiwan. Their factory is in China.

[@vadims4840]

@@primacoffeeequipment It's like someone says "here are apple iphone and google pixel, and we gonna compare them. Both are Chinese phones, but we have no others (basically there are some Indian apples also)". Truth, but still more common to name the country of manufacturer by where the brain is located, not the hands

Whatbis best hand grinder for use with moccamaster cup one

[@La_La_La3]

Where are the orphan grinder made? I know the company is in the US but are they made in USA or elsewhere?

[@lucn2371]

Hei. Small question . Where did you get the Timemore Slim plus foldable handle from. It looks awesome and handy. Thanks!

[@primacoffeeequipment]

Hi Lucn, you can find all of these grinders on our site. prima-coffee.com

[@umutalemdar934]

I'm stuck between Chestnut C3 MAX Pro and Chestnut G1 Plus, what is recommended?

[@Ilmiosognoèvivereinpigriziacon]

If the prices of KINU M47C and Feld 47 2023 are the same, what more do you recommend? For convenience, Feld 47 looks good, but the important thing is the taste, so please recommend it.

[@primacoffeeequipment]

We are big fans of Kuni grinders. They are excellent grinders.

[@kevingregoire1042]

Fir expresso, you show a non foldable handle 1Z presso j-max, or is it the K-max ??? 😊

[@primacoffeeequipment]

It is the J-Max, which we unfortunatley no longer carry.

[@Adam-vx6to]

My favorite is the Pietro with pro brew burrs. Although it's hard for most people to use it as a "hand" grinder. By far the best quality of any hand grinder on the market.

[@rolandoperez8054]

Which one can be use to grind Turkish ground?

[@coolkid111111100]

The Kinu m47 can go as fine as Turkish coffee

[@Wings_nut]

What would you recommend for turkish coffee, which is finer than espresso. Thanks

[@primacoffeeequipment]

The STC Turkish hand grinder (not featured here) grinds ultra-fine. The Comandante and Omega can do it sufficiently as well.

[@hittemni]

I thought the jmax was from Taiwan, not mainland China, big difference

[@primacoffeeequipment]

Yep, China and Taiwan are different. But in the video Ryan was referencing the fact that 1zpresso is manufactured in China though their HQ is in Taiwan.

[@JakaronoOhno]

Its all china .... one china

[@RyanHidajat]

so does Timemore C2 is better than C3?

[@primacoffeeequipment]

The C3 is actually an upgrade from the C2. They share the same size, but the C3 has new S2C steel burrs adopted from the Chestnut X in a smaller 38mm size. It also has a stepless grinding adjustment so you can use it for everything from espresso to french press.

[@clarktian6628]

So long as there's a chance to buy 1Z, don't consider Timemore. None of my Timemore last over 6 months and my 1Z kpro have served over a year and half, still at its best state.

[@i_s.]

great video!! thanks!

[@primacoffeeequipment]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@Jordan-rb28]

Saying that the 1zpressos are made in China is a pretty big thing to overlook in a video comparison by a company selling all these grinders. Just sayin'

[@primacoffeeequipment]

1Zpresso grinders are made in China, designed in Taiwan. Feel free to ask them yourself. Just sayin'.

[@JOHNOSA]

no exagrind and normcore?

[@primacoffeeequipment]

We don't carry those grinders in our catalog.

[@aidanchan8182]

1z is actually a Taiwanese brand, not Chinese.

[@primacoffeeequipment]

1Zpresso is headquartered in Taiwan, but they have a factory in China. The grinders are Chinese-made.

[@malvanlondon8683]

You guys aren't a fan of the French Press then? You didn't mention it even once.

[@primacoffeeequipment]

Sure we are! French Press requires approximately the same grind size as a 2-3 cup pour over (medium to medium-coarse), so any grinder recommended for filter coffee in this video will also work well with French Press.

[@Jordan-rb28]

Most people don't when comparing grinders.
