Review on 1Zpresso JX-Pro S Manual Coffee Grinder: Portable, Efficient, And Adjustable For Perfect Coffee Every Time! by Daniel Beaver

***UPDATE 4/2021***I had some issues with my grinder after just over a year of use. The knob started to bind during use and eventually failed (pops off and was filled with metal shavings).I contacted 1Zpresso directly and provided photos of the issue. The customer service was prompt and courteous. They helped me source replacement parts from their website, a new knob and handle.The items arrived in three days to the west coast from Taiwan. I must note that the new handle and knob are of a new design. It appears that my unit was a very early one (December 2019), most of the pictures I see online from reviews after mine are of a newer handle and knob design. The main difference is the the knob is more rounded on top and has more drop in it to lower the knob during use. The bearing on the knob also has a cover over it, which my initial unit did not. The updated handle looks to be stout and I am looking forward to more time with this excellent grinder.Original I recently got a Rancilio Silvia for my birthday and needed to up my grinder game to match. I have been doing pour overs and Aeropress for years and always used a hand grinder. I truly find joy in the process.I started looking at large counter top electric models, resigning myself to spending over $300 to get something decent. But the more I thought about it, I really didn't want to give up on hand grinding. Also the more I looked into it, the major items that fail on electric grinders are the motor or the gear drive. Neither of these are an issue with hand grinders.The 1Zpresso JX-Pro, falls into a sweet spot on pricing for high-end hand grinders. I have tried most of the top models and this holds its own against the Comandantes Lidos, & Helors of the world at a considerably lower entry point. The materials are top notch, it is made extremely well, and feels great in your hand. I am also blown away by the speed it grinds. It is considerably fast that other grinders I have used.The grind adjustments are easy to understand and there is plenty of range if you want to go between drip methods and espresso. The adjustment location being on the top of the grinder make for easy adjustment with less mess.Overall this is a stout grinder that performs very well across grind types. I highly recommend this to anyone looking for a hand grinder capable enough for espresso at a cost far less than similar rivals.
