This was a good review! Firstly, you produced it after having gained some experience with the grinder. Secondly, you presented it in a visually appealing style. Thirdly, you separated the content into different topics, different aspects about the grinder. Then you also spoke clearly and it was easy to understand you which is often a little hard with non-native English speakers (which I'm not either). And finally you drew comparisons to other grinders which is so welcome! Especially since I also have the JX Pro that you mentioned. Only thing that you could improve would be to flag the different chapters in the video with timestamps, so that it would be easier to get an overview over the content. Great work, thanks!

[@wideawakeph3662]

Thank you for watching and we appreciate your feedback! :)

[@trololoev]

1:28 this is not for beans, this is place for handle. Same as coverage is to separate handle from body of grinder

[@yokiduarsa1]

My experience was, when i want to release the catch cup, don't turning it directly, but try to hold the catch cup, then turning the body of the grinder with other hand. Hope it can reduce the fall incidence of the catch cup 😁

[@lrbrugby]

If you want a magnetic catch cup from 1Zpresso, might be best to go for one of the K-Series grinders. The K-Max might be the model I am thinking of. Also good for filter and has the same external adjustment system. I'm sure that the differences with this one are just a bit subtle. Nice work on the video. It's criminal that you don't have thousands of subscribers. Big love from Jakarta, Indonesia.

[@wideawakeph3662]

Thank you for the kind words!

[@eugenekong473]

Can you compare it to k max?

[@HaveAGoodHeart]

Hi. Do you think any of thise DF 64, 83 grinders with stock burr can come close to zp6? Or SSP burrs?

[@chingching153]

nice vid! i would like to ask how is it compared to k ultra

[@tomsgrinderlab]

Super helpful thanks. Your style is paced well and just like the coffee from the ZP6, your are very clear! I'm just getting into filter coffee and bought a ZP6 and a Hario Switch. I'm grinding 20 grams at around 40 clicks on the dial, does that sound about right as a starting point?

[@wideawakeph3662]

Hi there! Glad you enjoyed the video :) Yes, I'd say that's a good starting point! Personally 40 is my finest pour over setting for a 13g dose so you can grind even coarser next time unless you're focusing more on the immersion aspect of the Hario Switch

[@totoytugs]

How's the shipping po directly from Taiwan? have you paid customs duties?

[@SebasTian-io1gw]

Hi , can I use this zp6 on french press and aeropress?

[@wideawakeph3662]

yes of course! :)

[@SebasTian-io1gw]

@@wideawakeph3662 thanks . Can you give some settings for those? . And what you think about to use hario drip assist?

[@winsung8157]

Hello. Did you have to pay for custom tax?

[@wideawakeph3662]

For my case, no. For some of my friends, they did. We recommend contacting them directly to see what solutions they have for you!

[@dukirps]

Their branding is hilarious. You would think they sell computer parts with how they’ve named their products

[@calangolima]

Is there any 1zpresso grinder that uses the same burrs? People say that ks and js do use the same… do you know?

[@wideawakeph3662]

I think it's only the Z PRO and the ZP6 that share the filter focused burr set!

[@joroboam]

Whats your fav setting? Light roast beans

[@wideawakeph3662]

around 53-58 for a 13-15g dose, depending on the bean

[@threenineee]

@@wideawakeph3662how about med roast beans?

[@matsbreienhaugen3770]

Thank you for s good video. Would you also say it its optimized for Aeropress? Im making filter style (light roast) coffe on my Aeropress most of the time. Not the «espresso» style.

[@wideawakeph3662]

yes it works well for the aeropress too (not espresso-style)

[@aarone9970]

does ZP6 do good for medium roasts? how does it do with coffees with sweeter notes?

[@wideawakeph3662]

Still OK! I'd say you'd have to adjust your brewing technique if using med roasts ie lower temp + coarser grind to match the acidity forward and high flavor separation presentation of the zp6

[@musicianoffailure-3804]

Can it do espresso? I know they specifically said it's a filter focused grinder, but CAN it do espresso? I prefer doing mostly pour over but would like to do espresso occasionally so wondering if this grinder is capable of it.

[@wideawakeph3662]

It technically can but there isn't enough range and adjustability to make espresso well with coffees of varying roast profiles

[@RavenSWE]

If you want the possibility of espresso as well get a K series

[@JasonColumbia]

the main point is, espresso require a certain amount of fine grinds but this grinder is doing almost the least amount of fine grinds in the market so i don't think it can suit the duty. For occasional espresso grind, it's better to go for an x-pro or k-series(if your budget allows).

[@juan_w_fer]

Nice video! I would like to ask you a question: How would you try to brew sweeter cups with this grinder? I'm considering the ZP6 Special for the transparency and complexity but I still love to find a sweet taste in my coffee, and I'm afraid of losing that

[@wideawakeph3662]

you can try modifying your pouring. For example, instead of doing a 2 pour, do a 3 pour structure!

[@juan_w_fer]

@@wideawakeph3662 Thank you! I'm definitely gonna order it

[@HenryPiffpaff]

Did you buy it in the end? If so, how do you like it and how sweet is it?

[@juan_w_fer]

@@HenryPiffpaff I did! My brews are pretty acidic, it's rare that I'd find a cup bitter. Not sure about sweetness unfortunately because my other grinder was a $20 one instead of a timemore. I haven't really tinkered with the pour structure, instead what I would sometimes do following some forum advice is start at a very fine setting, like 2, grind a few beans and then switch to a coarser setting like 3,6. That will get you more body in your cup, which is another thing this grinder might lack :)

[@roberthodge6711]

Which do you prefer for pour overs, the ZP6 or Kinu M47?

[@wideawakeph3662]

ZP6 by far!

[@davidwong2695]

@@wideawakeph3662 I was thinking of getting the Kinu M47 with pourover burrs. The ZP6 is clear but does it have the mouthfeel that Kinu provides? It would be great to see a comparison. Btw the Kinu m47 with pourover burrs takes awhile to grind (3 min for 20g for me).

[@igorvinograd7259]

​@@davidwong2695 hi! What about your experience, do you think Kinu with pour over burrs is better?

[@indoex]

it goes maximum to 5.5 right?

[@caesienyang]

Nice content bruh 😍😍😍

[@breakdownentertainem2433]

Love that the first complaint is the huge logo on the sleeve, I always wonder why no one ever mentions this in their reviews. This logo and strange looking brown part is keeping me back from buying a 1zpresso grinder. My timemore c3 looks so elegant on the table so look wise this would be an immense downgrade

[@Scopifey]

I think the black zp6 looks a lot better than silver

[@StrawNonHuman]

How many clicks did you use for your coffee? I have just bought the same model. I would have to learn from your experience

[@wideawakeph3662]

For a 13-15g dose: 40-42 for something medium fine 44-46 for medium 47-48 for medium coarse

[@sinaghor]

Do you think it is better than K-ultra for pourover?

[@wideawakeph3662]

I haven't tried the K-ultra so I can't say with certainty. But what I can say is that the burrs in the ZP6 are optimized for pourover whereas the K-ultra burrs are not as 1zpresso claims that it can do grind for both espresso and pourover.

[@el_nan1]

Great content and review ❤! I was just wondering, what grind size do you usually use? Thanks!

[@wideawakeph3662]

Thank you so much! For a 13-14g dose, I'm usually at 40-42 on conical drippers. For the same dose size on a flat bottom brewer, 43-46!

[@edzen6122]

Compared to Kinu which one has better taste ? In terms of cleanliness

[@wideawakeph3662]

ZP6 is cleaner with a more pronounced acidity

[@edzen6122]

@@wideawakeph3662 thank you, i'm planning to replace my c40 with zp6 😆

[@JulienGaudfroy]

I own the Comandante C40, the 1Zpresso K-Plus and the Kinu M47. The first too are very close very similar taste wise with the K-Plus maybe a but more and the fruity/acidic side and the Comandante a tiny bit more complex, but often I wouldn't be sure blind tasting between the two. I recognize the Kinu every single time though, because it is that much worse tasting than the other two. It's been four years I have tested it enough to know. If the ZP6 in this video is better than the K-Plus it will crush the Kinu all day.

[@davidwong2695]

@@JulienGaudfroy is this with the Kinu m 47 pourover burrs?

[@JulienGaudfroy]

@David Wong I don't have the pourover burrs but a good friend has them we did extensive testing and it is not convincing either. K-Plus and C40 are easily better constantly.

[@fabilemusic9992]

Very helpful review, thank you! Can you give insides on number of clicks you used?

[@wideawakeph3662]

for 13g dose, I'm usually at setting 40. Burrs rub at setting 11

[@zeatheon6712]

Did you get import taxed when you ordered zp6?

[@wideawakeph3662]

No, I did not

[@MrAnecro]

Overall how does it compare to comandante?

[@wideawakeph3662]

I can't say because no one in the team owns a comandante!

but we cannot buy it
