- Опубліковано 4 бер 2021
- The market for premium handheld coffee grinders has grown quite a bit in recent years, but you hear mainly the same names over and over. But now a new manual grinder, the Timemore Chestnut X, has hit the market and made the choice for baristas everywhere that much more difficult.

I just ordered the Niche grinder and I'm patiently waiting for it! I wanted to order a hand grinder as well and you helped me decide. Thank you!!
Finally! A great Chestnut X Video Review! ❤️
Finally!! I've been waiting for this review.
Hopefully it meets your expectations!
I have the Chestnut Nano, Was genuinely impressed with build and quality of the grinds, Seems timemore are really upping there game recently
I have the Remi from Option-O and I love it! This grinder looks amazing! Very tempted to sell my Sette 30 & my EK43S and just go all hand grinders. They are getting that good.
Always an entertaining watch, Spro. I've already got a daily driver for my hand grinder, but I'm always happy to give your vids a watch.
What do you use hon?
Same here. the 1zpresso k-pro
@@fastgurrrl 1zpresso Jx
@@personontheinternet2164 Best grinder for the money anywhere in the world.
Thanks for the great video. This grinder looks like a winner for sure. I have had my Timemore C2 for about 6 months and love it. Not as fancy as the Chestnut but really solid , great value at a fraction of the price.
For sure, and thanks for watching. It seems like Timemore makes some solid products. I hope to see them popping up more and more in the future.
A side by side comparison with a comandante would be appreciated !! Thanks love your videos !
I’ll see what I can put together!
@@Sprometheus Could you throw in the Kinu as well, for completeness :p.
@@Sprometheus Yeah, I really liked checking the grind distribution test. I haven't seen it in other grinder review. I would be super curious how other popular grinders compare in this regard.
I have the JE-plus it's brilliant, fantastic control and consistency, also fast
Up. Compare the Timemore with Comandante and Kinu
Finally a review of this grinder
Thank-you for your review bro, its usefull for me
You’re welcome! Happy to help, and thanks for watching.
Great video. Since this is in stock and the Kinu isn't, I can finally replace my hand grinder that I lost the crank for (Knock Feldgrind 2) and upgrade at the same time to a more premium one.
I have a Kinu M47 Classic and I absolutely love it, with that being said this burr looks interesting.
I have the same one, and I think that it is the best hand grinder money can buy. This Chestnut is cool though.
I have a Timemore Chestnut C2 Max 30g and love it. All metal aluminum and steel, great bearings and burrs. Perfect for all but espresso which is all I wanted. Best part was sale on Amazon $67.
I backed an Arco hand grinder. The coarse settings are on the outside, magnetic catcher, and also you can get the electronic add on to make it a more electric version
Good job, thank you
Thank you my friend!
Great review. Did you use the 300 and 500micron sieves for the kruve?
Bought a 1zpresso JX-Pro last year to use with my office setup and the price point, build quality and grinds are top notch compared with my step-less grinder at home. I much prefer the dial on top, compared to bottom mounting for this one and anyone who had the JX-Pro will speak to how satisfying the adjustment knob clicking into place is.
I’m another one here suggesting you do a review of the lesser known, cheaper brand, 1zpresso. There’s a cult following on Reddit using them and at least a half dozen users in the comments for this video too.
Thanks for the review. What was the grind quality and taste like compared to your niche?
Awesome video, short, informative & entertaining!
I myself bought the kplus from 1zpresso, it's a bit bulky and more on the function over form side. The chestnut x looks great, tho I wonder how it would compare. If I had to choose where kplus excels the most, I definitely would say ease of use and consistency.
Will there be a comparison of the chestnut to other manual grinders in the future?
Edit: maybe pls don't compare it to comandante, it's what everybody does and it's kinda annoying tbh
this makes my commandante look like a last-gen video game console.
Great video!
Would love to see a review on Orphan Espresso Apex hand grinder.
I have the Chestnut C - It's great, but the new dual-dials on the X is what would interest me on this one... OMG.
The dual dials are a cool feature. Definitely can be a lifesaver when it comes to espresso in particular.
I am from Indonesia and yesterday i bought X approximately 215 USD. And I also have Chestnut Slim. Can't wait having new experience to brew 😍😍😍
@@roycelimindra8799 Komparasi dari segi rasa gimana? Mau upgrade dari C2 ke X
@@afrians10 dari segi rasa X Lebih clean, Sweatness Kopi Lebih berasa Kak. Tapi Ada Kelemahannya juga lho. Kalau di C total Ada 40 click, di X Ada 26 click Dan ada click kecil (4 atau 5) jadi lebih banyak pilihan size +- 100 pilihan. Nah krn banyak pilihan kita perlu ngulik ngulik lagi mau pake click yg mana khan. Secara X ini gak banyak yg pake, beda dengan yg merek Jerman itu. So far kl dr sisi harga X sy dapet Rp 3 juta, compare sm yg merek Jerman Rp 4,75 Juta , ya X Lebih worth it
@@roycelimindra8799Makasih infonya sangat membantu. Berarti timemore karakter rasanya emang nonjolin sweetness ya
I keep the chestnut x on the counter with my niche zero because it’s aesthetically pleasing to me I like the flavor the chestnut x make with my coffee beans I have. Yes I could have bought the cheaper Jx pro, but I love that leather strap.
I think a video vs a JX pro would be cool. That really is THE espresso handgrinder to beat right now seeing how it's super fast, very consistent grind size, super small steps (12.5 microns) and most important of alll.... It's only like 150 bucks
And the settings are on the top! Not the bottom where they get covered in coffee grinds like so many hand grinders.
@@df540148 yeah, another very nice feature. It's honestly one of the best deals in coffee right now (both the JX and the JX pro TBH, I just prefer the pro since I do espresso)
The full range of click positions for the JX Pro's stepped adjustment is 200 clicks. 5 full rotations with 40 increments for each rotation. I believe the JX Pro has the largest range of adjustment for any stepped hand grinder.
@@jaytaylor9232 so would it be good for pour over also ? Looking for alternative between Kinu, C40 or Chestnut
Just discovered the JE-PLUS also.
I have been rocking my Knock Feldgrind I got on a 1/2 off sale ($125) shipped from Scotland. It looks and works like the day I got it after three years of heavy use. Since I also roast my own coffee, I find manual grinding gives a lot of feedback on the actual roast level which can be a little different than just using the color. You really know when you are grinding a light roasted SHB, it's like wood lol.
I have a timemore slim plus. It is fine but i wish the steps are smaller.
Maybe we can use the chesnut x adjustment mechanism on the slim body.
Love your channel, wish I subscribed sooner, so I don't have to running in circle before I settle down.
I jumped from those cheap grinders a few months ago by buying a Timemore C, because of the pure apparent, and it is a good grinder. However, it is not for espresso which I love more than pour over. then I research their burr chart and decide to replace with a titanium coated E&B burr.
Man, that is a beast! it totally changed my TM-C into a premium hand grinder.
The grinding is a bit heavier but is a lot quicker and smoother. And the grinding result is superb.
The pour over grinding can emit a lot of aroma fragrant just from the starting of grinding.
Then I got this crazy idea, why not buy a top of the line TM to see how much more they can improve. So, I settle down with this Chestnut X.
But, to be frank, it is a bit disappointed. The Chestnut X is better than other TM series in every aspect in term of engineering precision and material quality. I can't find a single plastic part in it!
But the grinding is not that smooth comparing with their own Titanium E&B Burr. and it take longer for espresso grinding. How come?!
One big up side is those precision scale that make the espresso tuning in a lot easier. (and that is one of the big reason I jump in for this TM-x)
One big down side is the heavy, smooth and big body. Without leather cover, you just can't hold it steady when grinding. (given the grinding is not that smooth as well) and the lever, although it is a great design, is way too heavy to put the whole grinder off center. It is very easily tipping over if you don't fold the lever.
Above is my humble experience to this TM, both X and Titanium E&B burr,
My suggestion, go for that Titanium coated E&B burr for actual coffee grinding, doesn't matter what model of TM you bought.
Above said, I don't regret a bit for buying this TM-X as well. The engineering precision and the material quality alone can make me play with it all day! It is a great pleasure to have it on hand!
A side by side comparison with the KINU M47 will be the ultimate hand grinder showdown.
what grinding level do you suggest for espresso with this grinder? i've had it for a while and absolutely love it but it's also my first hand grinder as i recently upgraded form a so-so electric grinder. i set the grinding level to 5 as it's the finest one recommended by timemore for this grinder but i feel that the extraction could be even better, i just don't want to overdo it. waiting for your opinion, great reviews mate, cheers
Since getting a good hand grinder, I am a convert. I won't pretend that the result matches a Robur, but I have approximately zero bad extractions, and it's liberating. I don't have to dedicate counter space or worry about power outlet location. I can easily travel with it. Moving is a breeze. It's quiet. It looks good on a shelf, whereas even the nicest electric grinders still just look like appliances.
That is a gorgeous looking hand grinder. Like most it is way over my (cheap) budget.
I don't suppose you might do a video clip making the best coffee possible on the cheap.
I wouldn't expect the result to be in the same league with coffee made with premium hand grinders ... but it might be interesting to see what might be possible for low bucks.
Love child of the nanao and g1. But damn that price.
What are the chances that either these burrs or dual-dials make it into other Timemore Grinders? I would love a Nano with that kind of grind adjustment!
I am also joining the 1Zpressos hype train as it is worth it. The JX-Pro is a killer and for the cost I can't see this as viable. Although, good review and still an interesting grinder nonetheless
Can you please compare to 1zpresso K Plus and maybe also commandante c40 mkIII??
Could you explain set up for how you measured the fines ? I have both the niche zero and the chestnut X. There is no world where the Chestnut X produces the same amount of fines as the Niche. Niche is almost impossible with filtered coffee but the Chestnut X was a dream come true. Affordable, easy solution to make great pour over coffee.
How does this compare to the 1Zpresso K-plus or Comandante?
I have the G1+ with titanium burrs, it does well with espresso but the only issue is the steps are not precise enough and that's something this model seems to resolve.
I am looking for a coffee grinder, but I’m not going to lie, I was rooting for the Niche in your test.
Great review! The ultimate would be to see it side-by-side with a Comandante, but a person can dream...
I’ll see if I can track one down locally and give it a go!
@@Sprometheus whaaaaaat!
The ultimate hand-grinder showdown is side by side with the KINU M47.
Where are you located? If I’m close, you can try my Kinu M47 classic
@@lakshayakula8892 I live in south London.
Well, I have their scale.
It's pretty good, but its touch interface can be annoying especially when things get wet. AND it's prone to moisture if not careful, the plate/sticker underneath may peel off.
I just bought the Chestnut X Lite which is basically the X but with a simpler design. I only paid 118€ and I'm really looking forward to it. I have the Chestnut C3 right now, but I hope the X Lite will improve my coffee further
Was about to get one but slow pour does not ship to Canada... Now I'm kinda sad.
I'm personally waiting for a window to get the Comandante C40, but it's really hard to get a hold of. It's good to see healthy innovation in this space, and I like the design of the grinder in general, good that it has such flexibility with grind sizes, too. I took a look at the listing on the shop, but maybe they should consider other colors soon. Forest Green shouldn't be the only thing. It's pretty, but not my style.
Yeah I think this color is a limited edition. It does also come in black, at least the first run did.
@@Sprometheus I was looking at the Red Sonja Comandante, but I'll be honest if this comes in black I'll be tempted to give it a shot. Gonna have to keep an eye on it, seeing as the Comandante seems so hard to get.
I can plug my Makita Impact Driver into my Rhinowares hand grinder. I know that defeats the purpose of a "hand" grinder but there's been times (power cuts are too frequent in NZ) when I just can't be bothered with the physical workout and the hand grinder is my only option. With a nice set of burrs, that are almost as good as a Niche Zero, I'd be tempted to buy this as a main grinder if I had the option of using it with a power tool!
I bought the Chestnut G1 with titanium burrs on Black Friday last year from Primo. If they do the same Black Friday sale this year, I don’t think I can fight the urge to get the X. I wanna see a fines comparison between the titanium G1 and the X. Is the X really worth the $140 price bump over the titanium G1?
Which setting do you use on the Niche for pour overs? I got mine recently and it grind pretty fine even at 50 which is the highest official setting on the coarse scale.
We have the same problem.😔We love our chestnut x better for pour over.
I took a risk with this grinder when I bought it. Evidently the commondante and kinu have dominated the market for so long and then comes the Chinese economically priced company brining out a premium grinder. And it didn't disappoint.
It’s such a joy to use every morning. So beautifully made.
So like the baratza sette?
I may have missed it but to how long did it take to grind a 18gm dose? It looks well made.
I didn’t really mention that because it really depends on how fast you want to crank it. For espresso it took me about 2-3 minutes, for drip a little over 1min.
Ok the price is steep but that's a good looking grinder.
And also really nice video moves you got there !
I learned that you love your niche and the hand grinder ain't bad if you can afford it.
How long does it take for you to grind 18g for espresso?
I've been using a Kinu M47 for filter and espresso about 3 years daily now! However, haven't gotten Popeye arms, sadly. One thing I will say that's actually made me consider moving away from hand grinders is that grinding light roasts for espresso is really rough due to the leverage required since the beans are much denser.
For sure! Grinding a 17g dose for espresso took me at least twice as long than a 20g for filter. As an espresso lover I just can’t justify that amount of work first thing in the morning, haha.
@@Sprometheus Not grinding espresso, but Feld 47 Made by Knock is not requiring strength. The most I have ground is 24g of medium roast though and the finest I ground was powder for Turkish. Oh,forgot, the toughest was a light from Rwanda. Just let the ball on the handle take the load off my hands and hold bottom against my chest, so never laborious and never long, always quiet.
I love the 1Zpressos, having a Jx-Pro myself, and would love to see a review of that one or others in the line since nothing really touches them in that price range.
This is what someone on the Flair Facebook page said about the line up and their espresso taste tests:
“I've been dabbling around with different 1zpresso hand grinders the last couple of weeks. I don't really have time to spend hours at a time dialing in different grinders, so don't expect a very scientific report, but I feel I 'get' the effect of different burr types.
TLDR: JX(-pro): perfect allrounder, clean and complex but lots of body, fantastic value. Grinds fast!
K-plus: incredible clarity, I call it the flavor magnifying glass. We even used it as the only grinder for last weeks SCA sensory summit.
JE-plus: smooth, easy (slower) grinding, lots of texture/body, but less detail in the cup. I guess it produces a lot more fines, which is considered favorable for espresso.
Which brings me to what's been on my mind lately; fines! According to barista hustle, a good espresso grinder produces enough fines so it clogs the basket a little bit. It also makes sense that those fines get washed away, and then supply the smooth creamy texture we all love in a espresso.
But playing around with the JE-plus on very different coffees, I also noticed I need to work a bit harder to get my puck prep right. If I hurry the puck prep, I get more chances for channeling, dead spots, 2 streams, etc.
With the uncoated burrs of the K-plus, I almost never have a unhappy puck. 🤷No fuss, great shots.”
may I know where you got that container whoch separates the grind sizes? I need it since my hand grinder is no as efficient as the high end ones. I get uneven particles with it
Kruve Sifter
Check out the Kafflano Krinder. It’s a nice travel one and won’t break the bank
Nice review - would have preferred a direct comparison to other hand grinders (in a similar price bracket) rather than to the niche though.
Kickstarter backer, own it, love it, use it EVERYDAY! 🤩
Awesome! Glad to hear that! Thanks for watching.
I have 2 hand grinders, each with espresso- and filter-specific burrs. Will try the Chestnut X. Popeye is my fav cartoon!
I hear cross threading and I died a little inside. Recently cross threaded a small screw that holds the front panel on my Specialita. The screw won't tighten anymore and my grinder runs a bit louder because of it. Not a big deal though.
Haha it’s one of those things that always crosses my mind when it comes to these delicate pieces like this. The fear is real.
Another great review!! have you heard about the millwright hand grinder from saint anthony industries i feel like it would be something you could make a video about!
Thanks Kev! I haven’t heard of it, I’ll check it out!
The Milkwright looked to be a rebrand of ACE Linglong grinder with Saint Anthony name on it.
@@odnimusic2155 LOL it does look rather similar… but I’m sure the millwright is better quality lol
Well, ACE grinders have been around for years just a bit under the radar since it’s a small Chinese based company. And this design is something ACE48 is famous for. I’m not the only one suspecting Saint Anthony grinder design in this case. But of course I don’t doubt that Saint Anthony has better branding reputation. Hehe
@@odnimusic2155 good to know!
WEIRD! I had an ad in the middle of the video with the EXACT same background music as this video. The video ended and it continued the same tune. It was some cucumber beauty products lol
Haha, that is weird. I guess the secret is out on Artlist.io
Looks like a good grinder but too much of that cost is in the leather handle vs features that would actually result in better coffee. Big fan of the folding handle though.
The leather sleeve is nice for sure, but I don’t see a use for it outside of looking cool. I took it off when using it. But the collapsable handle is awesome.
3:57 Finally someone said it
I was going to buy a Comandante. This makes things a little more interesting. This grinder looks good.
What are you using for Espresso? I did 5 clicks and my espresso goes way too fast.
I believe I was using a Mexico I roasted at Little Giant. I tried a few other coffees, and they all were in that same range though.
@@Sprometheus Im sorry, I think i worded it wrong. How many clicks did you use for espresso? I use 5 but my shots are wayyy too fast. Im scared to go lower because at very low clicks the burrs will touch. its not like the Kinu where its no possible to scrape the burrs by setting the courseness.
I don't know how to adjust the gear it's overpowering me How to set the gear to 0 0 please help me
Attach the handle, Hold the handle still. Turn the dial to 0. Simple.
I was hanging on every word until I found out it's literally double the price of a 1zpresso JX Pro, yikes
😄
The price tag is hefty for sure, but it’s on par with some of the other heavy hitters in the market.
Jx pro ftw !
After seeing some reviews and analyze the data and manual they publish on ks I cancelled my pledge i think you will be much better served with a jx-pro and you can add a je-plus for extra credit
Now this review confirms my thoughts, no revolutionary results, quite expensive, non equal steps for adjustability.
Looks cool, i like timemore as brand, just this doesn't look like it justify the price tag
how do you have a coffee company and not a hand grinder? do you not travel and source coffee with partners?
Comparison with the 1zpresso JX Pro?
Would love to in the future for sure!
@@Sprometheus you won’t regret it. Super great grinder and very solid... been using it to make espresso and I have nothing bad to say
@@julianpark93 worth the JE-plus upgrade ?
@@JPC326 Not sure - I haven't used it myself but rumors are that it's easier on your hands to grind espresso with the JE Plus but takes longer than the JX Pro
@@julianpark93 opted for a KPlus now waiting on the shipping :)
I have a chestnut X and it produces a good grind for both my pour over, as my espresso. I use it for a Cafelat Robot, and usually have to grind quite fine (between 5 and 6). However for the espresso grind it takes me about 2 minutes to grind 17gr. Is this normal? Because I read on the Kickstarter faq it takes about 40 sec. Must be one hell of a strongarm user.
what grind setting do you use for pour overs? all of my brews taste under extracted, i haven’t gone under 15 clicks, should i go finer than 15?
@@daybreakgray3452 around 12 for aeropress (18gr) and 15 for v60 (15gr)
3:05 Should've had a Star Wars reference there...
I’ve tested my friend’s Chesnut X and I’ve found that it took longer to grind espresso settings than Comandante. It seemed like small amount of coffee beans were fed into burr. Maybe because of the slice to cut design. I think the build quality is superb, but within this price range I would recommend Comandante.
I've got a BPlus Apollo with a screw-on cup. I'm constantly worries about crossthreading it. Not buying into another one. Magnets are a much better solution imo.
i have an apollo as well, and a m47, honestly i like the apollo screw system more than the magnet in my m47.
@@SAMUEL-zc2mv I’ve got an M47 as well and for me it’s the exact opposite. My Apollo is an early version though, I was in the beta test group so to speak. Maybe they changed the threading since then?
@@SebastiaanSwinkels ahh i see, but i cant confirmed it though, as i dont know about the earlier version. my version is come with a bag, two rubber band, and a rubber lid. the thread is soo smooth and always lock in perfectly. and as you know in kinu, sometimes we can spill the ground if we grab the cup harshly.
Yet another handgrinder. But this looks greatr (as so many others). Confusing me even more. What should I buy? Commandate C40 Mk3, Timemore, 1zpresso, Varia, Kinu, and a bunch others are available. I´m coming from a Hario Skerton. Basically any handgrinder is better.
Unfortunately I can’t help you on that one, I’ve only ever used this one. But there are a lot of resources out there for the more popular options. Seems like the Comandate, Kinu, and 1Z are the top contenders.
I have one and I am confused. Jan 2020 I got a "Made by Knock" "Feld 47" -It is also less $ than this and they have 2 other cheaper models that I went above on this. I live in USA, but it is from UK Scotland. I used paypal to do usd from bps rate conversion and shipping insured. Bundled with aeropress. I improvised my carrying case for it. I do about half a dozen brew methods. Love how it doesn't have retention or cleaning obstacles. It goes really fine, but am still underfunded for a cafelat robot espresso press. I have to ask someone like Sprometheus if it will be up to snuff for dialing in espresso.
I have a JX-Pro. I am constantly amazed by the consistency, and it with 192 clicks it is super easy to dial in espresso. The pour overs and aeropress are also incredible. For the $160 price tag, I don’t see anything quite like the JX-Pro.
@@loganbeck5028 Good to share information!
@@Sprometheus you got many people demanding you to make the hand grinders comparison. There is quite a market for "premium" hand grinders. You should make a video about it IMO
Nice review! I wonder why someone can’t take the basics of this, make the externals out of less high end materials and stick a motor on it and sell for $200 (or ideally less). Grinders seem way overpriced for what is essentially a pretty basic kitchen appliance. It seems like a real barrier to entry to the world of specialty coffee. I can afford this stuff but there are a lot of people out there who can’t.
I like manual grinders for travel. BUT the big downside is if you trying to get a fine espresso grind make sure you’ve got about 10 minutes.
Not anymore. Some of these higher end hand grinders are fantastic. I grind for espresso in about 35-40 seconds with my JX-Pro.
It's one of the big benefits of this "spike to cut" burr design, that it tears through beans at espresso grind levels. I have the much cheaper Slim Plus, I can grind 20g espresso in around 40 seconds. The main limitation of that grinder is the steps are too big, although I got an aftermarket plate that doubles them (24 clicks) which does help. Certainly there is no issue with speed. I got it mainly for Aeropress (which it fits inside) rather than espresso, but it is fast grinding espresso.
Why you doin this to me bro? I love my JX 😏
$320 for a stepped hand grinder? They’re smoking crack. There’s absolutely no way it should cost that much. Just like everything else in coffee, they’ve claimed that it’s premium and doubled the price.
so nice...so expensive...
Love your videos so much !! You're better than James
Thank you, I appreciate that. James and I just are two very different creators in the same coffee space. But I’m stoked to be even compared to him.
@@Sprometheus Honestly, you are arguably better than J-Hoff, you know. Except the hair... James really has cool hair.
Anyone notice how this dude almost never blinks?
1 zpresso k plus yo!
But 3 hundy tho?!? I can get a for real electric burr grinder for almost that.
This one looks great but 1zpresso is way better
I have to say, Timemore has really been upping their game over the last few years, used to be absolute rubbish back in the day. As someone that owns a Commandante and used an M47 side-by-side on-an-off for the last six months, they are both truly great hand grinders.. Until I tried the 1Zpresso K-Plus. That thing totally kills it. Probably the easiest hand grinder to dial in and beats both the Kinu and Commandante in the taste of 'Spro and pour-over and all the built-in accessories for espresso and distribution techniques. That said I know the Apollo hand grinder also has a real following, but haven't yet tried it. All this coming from someone that has pre-ordered a Lagom P64 due to hand grinding for two years and just totally over it now.
I'm also a Comandante user and recently got into the manual espresso world (Cafelat Robot) after playing with filter coffee at home for a while... Looking at the Mignon XL and the Lagom P46. Would love to know how the Lagom compares to the Comandante in terms of pour over tastes! Which burr set did you get for the Lagom?
@@bowieknife ... all of them.. I used to be a coffee machine tech and now I'm a roaster. So both SSP burrs and 'standard' set. Found out they are all custom geometry, so may as well save on shipping costs
@@c_woelfl I see! Very nice..... Hope it fits into your work flow well! It's a very handsome machine.
Anything above 30g is kind of pointless to most people, no? (For me, it's anything above 20g really) If I have to grind 50g of coffee for some reason, I am using an electric grinder.
This vid is 8min ... i dont want to see some kiss-ass mention how greaaat🤩 this vid in the next 5mins lol
More than halfway through you can know if you like it, haha.
It’s too expensive for this grinder.
Overpriced.. almost as expensive as the Kinu M47 and Comandante C40. The 1Zpresso JX Pro and JE Plus, and the Apollo are a fraction of the price and are much more accurate for espresso grinds.
Never used them, can’t say one way or another.
This product boggles my mind - who in the hell was this designed for? The guy who takes his espresso machine on camping trips? Hand grinders have their place, but not at anywhere near $300. The only thing this does better than any similarly priced electric grinder is be small, which also happens to be a major con because who wants to spend 10 minutes grinding for 2 cups of coffee?
This grinder can obviously compete with Kinu M47 and Comandante MK3. So it has a chance to be held by a Brewing and Aeropress champions I believe
High end hand grinders don't take 10 minutes though, they are nothing like cheap hand grinders. I can do 20g in 30-40 seconds and that's on a much cheaper Timemore than this one. Also, this grinder isn't primarily designed for espresso, it can do it but it's oriented more at pourover.
still doesn't beat a comandante
Looking like a commendante rip off
To be fair, hand grinders can’t really look all that different.
I just Think That many of the design is the same but it is stil beutiful
IMBEDDING ADS in your videos?!? I’m done with you dude.
Really Appreciated this review ...
