Best Praise
+47 pts
It's definitely a very good grinder. You can debate whether it's the best or if you're getting the best bang for your buck. Some people will say Pietro is better or will prefer ZP6 which supposedly gives better clarity at lower price. I have C40 and ZP6 and I am happy with both, but most days I just use the C40.

Pietro or ZP6 if you like light roasts and tea like brews. K-Ultra or Kinu with Pour Over Burrs if you like more body and sweetness at the cost of some clarity. C40 is overpriced in 2025. You can get the same results from many cheaper handgrinders in 2025.
