I recently purchased a 1ZPRESSO JX-PRO and honestly couldnt be happier. I brewed the Ehtiopian Tadesse Yonka and compared the two between the JX Pro and Encore and had a completly different experience in my cup. The JX Pro is my first handgrinder and im sold!
The 1zpresso JX-PRO was one of the hand grinders we were considering getting recently. We've heard nothing but good, and it almost sounds too good to be true. That's incredible! A good grinder will do that!
Agreed, it’s crazy how hand grinders are such value for the dollar and preform well above their weight in price. I just got the Kinu M47 which I think is on a similar level to the Commandante and it’s blowing my encore out of the water. Other honorable mention hand grinders would be the 1Zpresso JX grinder and the Normcore. Both in the same price range-ish as the timemore.
Yeah it's pretty impressive with the only drawback which we didn't mention is that grinding for batch brew might be a little difficult and it takes your physical strength. Otherwise, they're performing way above their weight in price. We were looking at the Kinu M47 too when buying the Commandante. It's great! The 1Zpresso JX was also a competitor to the Timemore grinder. We need em' all!!
Hi! We have learned from other roasters in the industry. Both of us worked for other roasting companies where we learned a lot of what we knew. There are also great books and online resources to learn more!
@@MirrorCoffeeRoasters can u share the books and online sources with me please? i'll give u my email. this can helps me out a lot since i have very little knowledge in this field
@@rinzler2211 I'd look at the two books Scott Rao has released as well as his online roasting classes. Mill City Roasters also has RUclips videos that go through training.
I’m totally in hand the hand grinder camp! 🏕 My first grinder was the porlex with a ceramic burr. And it was cool, and it for inside my AeroPress so I could brew anywhere. But it literally took forever to grind and it’s grind consistency was …. Ehh. Then I got a Lido E from Orphan espresso, and now I have the Millwright from SAI. Hand grinding is awesome, it’s like shooting vintage glass on modern digital cameras. Just is more tactile and fun. More engaging. We also have a little one, so a hand grinder is WAY quieter than any electric grinder.
Some would argue the porlex is better than the Hario so that's a great start. That's awesome! We have also eyed and considered the Lido since there have been great things said about it, but it is a little bit of a bulkier form factor. Would totally agree with that comparison. There's something nostalgic and experiential about it that feels good. Thanks for sharing!
Been enjoying your podcasts. Great stuffs! Cheers from Indonesia 🇮🇩
Hey! Glad to hear that.
Cheers!

Really loving my Normcore V2. grinder! Really good burr set and great fines too!
We've heard some good things about the Normcore but have not used it yet. Good to hear of another positive review!
Stoked to start brewing outdoors! Might go for the rugged Commandante for kayak trips since it's waterproof. Thanks for the info, you guys are dope
I got the rugged Comandante earlier this year, and It's really excellent!
