Did you have to adjust grind setting out of the box? I just got a new sozen from STC. I grinded and discarded 3 batches of 10g of coffee per their instructions to get rid of any manufacturing particles.
I didn't like the ergonomics of J-max. The ring could be rotated while grinding. Can't hold close the the handle because of this. K-pro is way better in terms of ergonomic (I would say the best I've tried). And clicks on J-max looked unreliable. Probably will wear out (the mechanism). Though, X S pro looks very promising. But can't afford it yet to test. Sozen is way more affordable anyway. We have it for like 1300 UAH, around $40. Closest 1Zpresso is 5500 UAH ($130+?). And I don't care about the burrs here. The result in a cup is solid. But I will definitely compare it with some 1z when I'll have a budget
I bought it after seeing that the man used it for around 2 years for espresso. Pretty sure it'll not be stable between the shots. Because of a random amount of small particles. I'll check it and reply in a few minutes. Though, I'll only do one shot)
Tried 16g dose. Took 2:10 to grind. Drinkable, but I will decrease the grind size or increase the dose (1g more). But it's better to get like 1zpresso JX, x s pro. Or kingrinder
If I already have a hand grinder intended for espresso (Kingrinder K4), is it worth getting this just for Turkish coffee? For me the problem with the K4 isn’t the grind size because it can go very fine easily, but it’s the force required to turn the handle at a very fine setting. If I could find a way to make turning it easier, then it would be perfect. Maybe Ill just have to develop the muscles for grinding lol
No need to have another one. It'll still be tough, but in another way. It'll take more time) Though, depends on a dose. I remember that 1Zpresso JX require more force to rotate overall (similar burr). Sozen is easy to rotate, burrs are not aggressive. Anyway it'll require energy. Sprint or marathon - what fits better?) For me the reason to add another one is mainly to not constantly change the grind size between the methods. And to preserve the burrs for longer. Muscles will develop with time, but I suggest to lock the wrist by legs so that the main force required is to rotate the handle and not to hold the grinder body in place. For aggressive burrs - it's a great solution.
@@wendstudio_coffee Awesome. I also tried tilting the grinder at 45 degrees so that less beans are feeding into the burrs at once and it made it a little easier. Another thing is that I just went a little coarser, a bit closer to espresso but I couldn't tell if there was that much of a difference in taste so I think it's worth it. I compared it to Mehmet Effendi pre-ground grind size and they seemed pretty much the same anyways. Thank you by the way for your tips and videos, it's very rare to see someone on UA-cam exploring the ways to master Turkish coffee.
Hello! I am passionate for Turkish coffee, but for us in Brasil is hard to find anything related to it. I do have a kingrinder K0. Do you think I could use it to get a similar grindsize? I thought about doing two grinds: first for a fine almost espresso size, and second for the Turkish grind size. It would require the work of regulating the grinder twice, but I think that would save the work of a very heavy crank (or maybe damaging the grinder itself). What do you think?
I think that you can try the grind size which is closer to espresso or even slightly bigger. User manual suggests 60 clicks minimum, I would try it as a starting point. But you'll need to mix the coffee at around one minute to have a white foam formed. Then I'll try to assess the flavor, is it good enough or not in terms of the amount of body. And go smaller if needed (40-50 clicks)
@@wendstudio_coffee Thanks a lot! Saw your video on the timemore C3 grinder. Although mines is not as good, I believe it can deliver a decent result. Definitely trying it!

I think it's better to adjust it for the best results. Not sure they're adjusting them to have some standard
@@wendstudio_coffee Makes sense. Thanks.
at this price range, wouldn't be better to get a 1zpresso j-max?

I’ve had my J-MAX for 2 and a half years and mechanically, it is just like brand new. I’ve never accidentally changed the grind size by accident.
I oved Turkish coffee..very good video for me
Would it be a good espresso grinder? Cause i think , its engineered for turkish, finer than espresso

Its 2024! I want an electric/battery Grinder.
😂 I'm totally fine with the Kinu m47. 18 seconds and you have your coffee)
