Better choice for a small, single espresso machine when compared to an electric grinder for the same price - that's if you can find a decent quality electric espresso grinder for the same price.

I gave this as a gift, because I liked the product so much. I retired an older electric grinder that still had too much retention after doing every mod I could find. This is my daily driver for espresso. It works great for pour over and French press.

Came with no instructions and missing a grind setting indicator. Currently reaching out to manufacturer, but disappointed that product did not come in as advertised

Not the color that i order and its cheap color and i payed for the grayand its more expensive Very bad and used in bad . its used used in bad condition the coffe grinder still inside the grinder the equipment inside is used !

This grinder is extremely veratile, it can grind fine enough for delicious Turkish Coffee and is an amazing Espresso Grinder to boot! Of course it can tackle manual coffee as well (Pour Over, French Press, etc.) Extremely uniform grinds that have suited my needs in manual espresso (Flair, Cafelat Robot). Easy to clean and grinding is a joy even with dense beans! If you are looking for more EVEN more settings for dialing in Espresso the J-Max is your best bet Highly recommended!

Definitely a high quality grinder. Build is simple and sturdy, feels very substantial when holding it. The only downside is it was not calibrated correctly when I received it. It wasn't to hard to calibrate it properly but it did take me a few tried to get it perfect so soemthing to keep in mind. Once that was done though it works great. There is a huge range of settings that allow you to tweak the grind perfectly. Overall it was a pretty solid purchase for as much I drink coffee and good deal…

Mine didn't come with a brush so that's a bit annoying. The JMax definitely isn't a do it all grinder. It does grind course enough for drip and v60 but that's it. KMax is what you would want for that. It does do pour over incredibly well and obviously this is the defacto for espresso hand grinders.Easy to adjust, not as difficult to remember what setting you are on as some reviews say. Manual shows you how to read the little pyramid indicator on the side.

This product I use daily for everything from espresso to pour over to French press. Dial it in and you won’t regret this purchase. Have your coffee the way that you like it when you like it. This machine has no rival at the under 200 dollar mark. Again this is a game changer don’t hesitate to buy

Pros:Super precise adjustmentHigh build qualityFast GrindingMagnetic cup works way better than expectedCons:Heavy - comes with case but too bulky to travel withBigger burrs actually causes larger chunks to fall into burrs creating a more difficult grind sometimes.Gripping the body could be better.using the included rubber band is a mustOverall I am very happy with this purchase. even though this could be used for brew coffee, I would not because you could get away with a much cheaper, lighter…

I was hesitant to spend so much on a grinder, but I think it is totally worth the price. It seems well build and hopefully will last for years. I love the ease for selecting grind settings; I use it several times a day, and every other day I switch the type of grind I need. Having the settings indicator outside makes it so easy to do so, and always accurate.It is also a fast grinder. It used to take me about 1 minute to grind 1 cup for Aeropress using a Hario grinder, but with this one it takes

Well built and designed for espresso and those tiny incremental adjustments as you sneak up on the prefect grind setting for that lovely bean.

I wanted a good quality grinder to take on road trips with a Flair Pro 2 espresso maker. This worked perfectly with a consistent grind which was at least as good as my electric Virtuoso (Baratza) grinder. Solid metal construction. Easy to disassemble & clean. Finer grinds take a bit more effort as one would expect.

I love my new hand grinder. It replaces my Gaggia MDF that I've had for 15 years. The ability to fine tune the grind is impressive and the magnetic catch works like a charm--clever engineering.Be advised: It does take decent grip strength with some beans and you do have to put some muscle behind it. It was too much for my wife and she's back to electric.For me, it's perfect. I use the small Maxus scale and only grind what I need each time.And, of course, taste: night and day between this and my

Like others have said, this thing could have been a 5 star product but the QA on the units sold here is screwing the initial experience.When I received the Jmax, it was completely locked up. Even after moving the adjustment dial to the highest (most coarse) setting, the grinder was still completely locked and would not budge. I ended up having to completely disassemble the grinder and re-calibrate the burrs.I'll give credit where it's due: this thing is very easy to take apart. Setting the…

Just holding it you know it’s great quality. It doesn’t come calibrated, though- you have to do that yourself. Which is fine I guess, but then you can’t replicate others’ grind settings.
