Best praise vs top criticism for 1Zpresso J-Max
“They're all great. I love my 1Zpresso J-Max, but honestly those are all solid grinders and, yes, the grinder is VERY important for your quality of cup.”
“>Entirely shift focus and take the separate grinder approach. This would entail an electric grinder that only does filter well and a manual grinder for espresso. I would likely buy a manual grinder with filter burrs while I search for an electric grinder, and then swap those for espresso burrs down the road. Just about this option -- Considering that hand grinding for espresso takes notably longer than for filter maybe to the point of being annoying), I'd flip the roles, and start with an electric espresso grinder plus a manual filter grinder. That said, a few hand grinders aren't annoyingly slow with espresso (J-Max/Ultra comes to mind); and hand grinding large doses, even for filter sizes, takes a while no matter which model you get.”
