Best praise vs top criticism for 1Zpresso ZP6 Special
Best Praise
+138 ptsβI applaud your engagement with the group. Add a ZP6 to the lineup please.β
r/PourOver
ViewTop Criticism
+40 ptsβI wouldnβt recommend a ZP6 like some here for Costco coffee. You donβt want a high clarity grinder for mediocre coffee. And I donβt think a K-Ultra is worth it because you can get 95% there with a Kingrinder K6 for $99. So the k6 would be my choice. If it has to be electric Iβd probably get a used fellow ode or new DF54β

+36 ptsβIsnβt the purpose of a gooseneck to agitate the grounds and control the βswirlβ? Why would anyone want to turn a v60 into a drip brewer and needlessly add more plastic to their life?β
