Impressive Machinery!
After wanting to get more into coffee, doing a lot of research on the topic resulted in the conclusion that buying a grinder to freshly grind coffee beans was one of the biggest upgrades. So, after a ton more research, I had actually settled on the KINGrinder K6, with the consensus being that it was the best bang for the buck. I had also heard that one of the biggest drawbacks of it was the disassembly, that it was very difficult to disassemble and put back together, for cleaning purposes. Since I never owned a grinder before (manual or electronic), I didn't really have any context for what this would mean, hence I took a shot on it. Once it arrived, I was actually quite impressed by it (again, not really having proper context), everything seemed to be extremely well built. But, knowing my personality, I started to look into the disassembly/reassembly issue that I had heard about. After reading manuals, watching videos, and spending a decent amount of (semi-wasted) time learning about all of this, I tried to get the grinder disassembled, and failed badly. No matter what I tried, I couldn't get the pin holding the entire assembly together to come out, of course I was trying to also be delicate with everything as I didn't want to damage anything and risk not being able to return the item if it came to that. After spending enough wasted time and getting frustrated, I decided that it needed to go back, and in that regard I was glad I never got it disassembled, because I realized that it would have been very likely I wouldn't have been able to properly reassemble it afterwards.So, back to the drawing board with more research. Ultimately, I decided to just spend the extra money to buy a 1Zpresso, and I picked the J Manual model because it seemed to be the best bang for the buck one for pourover that 1Zpresso has. The only thing I dislike about 1Zpresso grinders is the very confusing naming and changing of their lineup, for instance the J Manual was actually the Jx from previously with very minor upgrades. When the grinder arrived, it was actually even nicer than the KINGrinder K6 in overall feel, build quality, and impression. The first thing I tried was the disassembly and reassembly, which as I had already researched, was decently easy. Note that it wasn't perfect, once you do a disassembly and reassembly, if you want the number dial to line up with the "zero" of the grinder, it is incredibly difficult to get right. However, if you just use the numbers as a reference point and don't care that zero is zero, then it's not a big deal.I have now since used the grinder almost daily for about a month and a half, and the grinder continues to be a pleasure to use. Grinding is seemingly very easy, satisfying, and foolproof. Everything is machined very precisely, and the entire unit is very solid. Overall, I feel that the item is worth the money paid, which for me is a very satisfying feel.Ver másVer menos
