Review on ☕️ 1Zpresso J-Max S Manual Coffee Grinder - Silver Coated Conical Burr, Foldable Handle, 40g Capacity, Numerical Adjustable Fineness Setting, Fast Grinding Efficiency - Ideal for Espresso by Carlos Damain

Revainrating 5 out of 5

One of the best, if not THE best hand grinder for espresso

Have been a fan of 1Zpresso since my first purchase of JX Pro. This is my third 1Z hand grinder. And it continues to impress.There are many reviews you can find on YouTube. So, won't repeat the specs. The quality of the grinder is unbeatable for the price.The work of flow is made easy with the external adjustment. The grind is effortless for espresso, ground is consistent.The adjustment is super fine, make the grinder more suitable for espresso than pour-over (not that you can't, but rather probably wouldn't want to, since you will need to turn many clicks.)And the price is just cherry on the top. The performance/value make this grinder easily on par or even better than those much more expensive ones on the market (Yeah, specifically, that ridiculous one from Germany. We know the story. I am purposefully dissing it here.)(The current line ups have some overlaps and can cause confusions. There are a couple of reviews on YouTube that could help you to make the right decision.Personally, I use K-Plus for pour-over, clean and more nuanced flavors; J series for espresso, more sweetness and texture.)Can't praise this one (and all 1Z grinders) enough. Highly recommended.

Pros
  • Compact size fits seamlessly into any kitchen
Cons
  • The J-Max S may produce more heat than desired during the grinding process
