Best Praise

β€œNone. Get a Timemore C2/C3 or a Kingrinder (search the sub the correct model for you). They are much better value for the money. Will last you a long time, will grind much faster than the Hario and with produce a better grind consistency.”

Top Criticism

β€œIt holds you back as a home barista. If you got the timemore kettle instead and the q2presso q2 heptagonal or the kingrinder k6, or even the k-ultra or zp6, your coffees would be significantly better. We are talking 480p to 1080p when going from c2 to q2.”
