1Zpresso J Manual Coffee Grinder Silver Capacity 35g with Assembly Stainless Steel Conical Burr - Numerical Internal Adjustable Setting

After wanting to get more into coffee, doing a lot of research on the topic resulted in the conclusion that buying a grinder to freshly grind coffee beans was one of the biggest upgrades. So, after a ton more research, I had actually settled on the KINGrinder K6, with the consensus being that it was the best bang for the buck. I had also heard that one of the biggest drawbacks of it was the disassembly, that it was very difficult to disassemble and put back together, for cleaning purposes. Since I never owned a grinder before (manual or electronic), I didn't really have any context for what this would mean, hence I took a shot on it. Once it arrived, I was actually quite impressed by it (again, not really having proper context), everything seemed to be extremely well built. But, knowing my personality, I started to look into the disassembly/reassembly issue that I had heard about. After reading manuals, watching videos, and spending a decent amount of (semi-wasted) time learning about all of this, I tried to get the grinder disassembled, and failed badly. No matter what I tried, I couldn't get the pin holding the entire assembly together to come out, of course I was trying to also be delicate with everything as I didn't want to damage anything and risk not being able to return the item if it came to that. After spending enough wasted time and getting frustrated, I decided that it needed to go back, and in that regard I was glad I never got it disassembled, because I realized that it would have been very likely I wouldn't have been able to properly reassemble it afterwards. So, back to the drawing board with more research. Ultimately, I decided to just spend the extra money to buy a 1Zpresso, and I picked the J Manual model because it seemed to be the best bang for the buck one for pourover that 1Zpresso has. The only thing I dislike about 1Zpresso grinders is the very confusing naming and changing of their lineup, for instance the J Manual was actually the Jx from previously with very minor upgrades. When the grinder arrived, it was actually even nicer than the KINGrinder K6 in overall feel, build quality, and impression. The first thing I tried was the disassembly and reassembly, which as I had already researched, was decently easy. Note that it wasn't perfect, once you do a disassembly and reassembly, if you want the number dial to line up with the "zero" of the grinder, it is incredibly difficult to get right. However, if you just use the numbers as a reference point and don't care that zero is zero, then it's not a big deal. I have now since used the grinder almost daily for about a month and a half, and the grinder continues to be a pleasure to use. Grinding is seemingly very easy, satisfying, and foolproof. Everything is machined very precisely, and the entire unit is very solid. Overall, I feel that the item is worth the money paid, which for me is a very satisfying feel.

Wanted a high quality manual burr grinder for mainly single serve pour over coffee. I already have a high quality electric grinder dedicated for my expresso machine, which I indulge for the weekends. I told my wife the 1Zpresso was $140 dollars and was considered to be "entry level" for starter high quality coffee grinders in this category. She thought I was nuts, but she knows I like my coffee. Actually, the grinder is so well engineered and constructed, $140 is not a bad deal considering it will most likely last a lifetime. The grind time is very short especially if you are grinding a single serve of 20 grams. Very smooth efficient operation. Very easy to clean, but make sure you read the instructions carefully or watch some YT videos. META Coffee does a slow but detailed video on the differences between the J and Jx. This is basically the newer version of the older JX model with some mods made to the grind setting and the threads on the coffee catch cup. Frankly the grind settings are easy to set but can be confusing since some folks are obsessed with setting the indicator to 0 zero after disassembly and cleaning. Would highly recommend. Not sure why you would spend more than $200 for a manual coffee grinder unless you want to flex in front of your buddies.

Got this grinder as an upgrade from a cheaper one, which didn't have the shaft or burr properly anchored, such that the cone could float around inside the ring, producing a wildly inconsistent grind. So far, the 1zpresso grinder totally solves that problem. The shaft and burr are very stable, and the bearings make it effortless to turn and grind with. Build quality overall feels very high, and I cannot see any corners that were cut. There is one thing about the grinder, though, that confuses me because it seems like such an obvious oversight. The way the grind settings are indexed doesn't make sense. If you look at the dial, it's set such that a finer grind is a higher number, and a coarser grind is a lower number. This wouldn't be an issue if the dial only had one rotation - coarse is low numbers, fine is high, no big deal. Just like American Wire Gauges. But the trouble comes when you have to go through multiple rotations of the dial. See, you're supposed to count your grind settings by first tightening it up all the way (which should hopefully line up at zero), then count the number of clicks and revolutions up from there to the desired setting. (See this reference from the manufacturer: https://1zpresso.coffee/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/JX-Grind-Setting-Reference-20200909.jpg). So, if I wanted to adjust the grind for a Moka pot, I would first tighten it down all the way to zero, then count on the dial 9,8,7,...3,2,1,0 (one full rotation), then again 9,8,7...3,2,1,0. (2 full rotations). A much more sensible way to do this would be to have the numbers going in the opposite direction on the dial, such that you could count up from zero (each full rotation being a count of 10). Like 0,1,2,3...8,9,10 (one full rotation), 11,12...18,19,20 (two full rotations). The best way I've figured out to count the settings (so far) was to back out the dial all the way, until it comes off. I got 8 full rotations, then a few more clicks. So, I called that point "0", and counted up from there, putting my tightest point at "80". So, to count my settings, I first tighten up to "80", then dial down to 40 or 50 or wherever inbetween to get my desired grind. Let me reiterate: this grinder is great, and it is worth the money. I've giving it 5 stars for a reason; it's already really improved my morning brew. But this is a very simple, and very easy to fix UI problem, IMO. Just reverse the numbers on the dial, and suddenly the grinder becomes much more intuitive to use!

I love the quality of the grind, a consistent and fast grind for not a lot of money. The handle is great and long enough that I find it easy to grind even at fine settings - I like the folding for storage; makes it much easier to find a place for it to sit on my counter. The instructions are a bit tricky at first, but you can find third-party guides for grind size online pretty easily. Cleaning after use is easy with the included brush, but you will need to disassemble to really clean the burrs and interior parts. This is not difficult, but is a bit fiddly - a once-a-month thing. I find it can grind much finer than I need for my moka pot, or pour-over, even for light roasts I can get it fine enough to easily over-extract. I don't have an espresso machine, so I haven't tested this, but my guess is if that's your main use case you would want one of their espresso grinders to get more control over particle size in the smallest size grinds. Overall this is a pleasure to use - one of those tools that feels solid and super sorted in your hand. I am sure if you spend more you might get more, but this has got to be well inside the 80:20 rule.

super build quality, so fast, i can grind one batch ( French press ) in 15 sec !! ,..... fair and even grounds, the burr adjustment is so precise with 30 clicks ,..... it's my first ever coffee grinder, and it had me amazed.

Love everything about using this manual coffee grinder. The feeling it makes when grinding is sooo satisfying, and I’m genuinely shocked at the speed/output given the little effort required. (I’m new to the manual grinder game, so maybe that’s par for the course.) My only gripe is the short, 1-year manufacturer’s warranty. For the price point, I’d like at least five years of coverage. Pro tip for cleaning: After futzing around trying to get all the coffee dust out with the included cleaning brushes (they’re nice, but still…), I tried my husband’s rechargeable air duster and it cleans like a dream! (Bought ours in the USA but it’s similar to this one: https://amzn.eu/d/fwRGKpk)
