Example: James Hoffmann’s V60 method’s grind size is a lot finer compared to Tetsu Kasuya’s 4:6 approach. Grind size distribution & Fines At the other end of the spectrum, if you’re used to the JX, the Lido or a similar grinder with 48mm burrs, performance of the Q2 will be slightly worse. It will take longer to grind the same amount of coffee and the particle size won’t be as consistent. It’s not a dramatic difference, but it is noticeable. How does the 1Zpresso Q2 compare to similar grinders? Grind speed is essential when it comes to hand grinding, so it’s important to determine how fast a grinder gets the job done before buying it. Also, if your hands are on the smaller side, it might be easier to use the Q2 as it requires less grip strength. Conclusion

It should be noted that 1zpresso lines perform well in terms of grind consistency. It will boil down to the preferred price range, capacity, and personal brewing preferences at the end of the day. The dial of the burr is numbered, which makes it easier to adjust than many other hand grinders. The dial is located directly underneath the burr, and it’s quite simple to change.We’ll begin by concentrating on the JX-Pro and J-Max because these offer the broadest range of grind settings with the smallest adjustment between each setting.

I have used the Hario Mini-Slim extensively over the last couple of years and used to see it as an attractive budget option. As mentioned above, the Q2 comes from the Q series of 1zpresso hand grinders. They’re best known for being compact. However, these aren’t the only models offered by 1Zpresso. Nevertheless, the ones listed above match a specific user expectation with the brewing style, so we suggest you focus on them. The 1Zpresso manual grinder range is extensive (and growing), and while it’s great to have the choice, it can be confusing figuring out which is the right grinder for you. Hopefully, this article has removed that confusion to offer the clarity you need to make the right choice for your needs. References:The Handground is based on an intriguing idea, buttoo many flawsand a high price point make it hard to recommend. Rok Hand Crank Coffee Grinder, stationary All in all, the Mini Q is designed for an efficient, even grind. I particularly like the adjusted crank, which shows how 1zpresso had consumers like you and me in mind. Grind Settings & Adjustment The Lido 3 sports Swiss-made 48 mm conical steel burrs and has an enormous capacity compared to its rivals. The flavor separation and clarity is good, although I have tried better ones. I have been comparing the grind consistency to the Lido 3 both visually and with the the help of software, and it seems that the particle distribution is very similar.

For individuals who use Aeropress as their primary brewer, the good news is that the Mini Q fits right into the chamber. This is one great feature you’ll come to appreciate over time. Burr Quality Even though the grinder is tiny it still does an excellent all round-job, and could be used as an everyday workhorse. (However, I’d recommend most people to get the Jx-model from 1Zpresso instead, since it’s faster and has a bigger volume). However, manual grinders are a little bit like smartphones. In recent years, they have gotten bigger and bigger, to the point where terms like “small, compact and mini’ almost don’t make sense anymore.Just ignore most of the advice. By getting a manual grinder,you’ll be ahead of just about 98 % of the other coffee drinkers out there, and you’ll be able to make delicious coffee at home consistently. While the Jx will be more than enough for most people, the K-Max is for the coffee geek who wants an end-game model. K-Max just offers a bit more balance and precision in terms of flavors. Especially when it comes to lighter roasts. Weight isn’t the only thing that matters, however. Size is also important. And with a diameter of only 4,6 centimeters the Q2 fits perfectly inside and an Aeropress. This is something I know many of my fellow coffee geek appreciate. An awesome thing about manual grinders is that they are very affordable compared to what you are getting. Think about it. When you buy an electric grinder most of the manufacturing expenses cover the motor, housing, and electric parts – not the burrs themselves.
