Does anyone have a good suggestion for a manual coffee grinder? I have heard folks discuss the Peugeot grinders, but I want to see about alternatives.

      I also have this same grinder and it’s suited me well. However just like OP it’s the only one I’ve ever used so I have no comparison.

      I have the original C2, not the Max version. And, it too, has been excellent. It might leave a little to be desired for espresso, but for everything else it’s great.

        Easy to grip so I guess a 10. The body is knurled so it doesn’t slip in you hand, the knob on the handle is large enough to grip easily, and the arm is long enough that it doesn’t take a lot of force to turn.

    I’ve enjoyed my 1Zpresso K-Max, although in retrospect getting the blind shaker design in the magnetic catch cup of the K-Plus would have been nice. The external adjustment with detents was a selling point for me, despite it having a slightly coarser adjustment than comparably-priced manual grinders.

      For what it’s worth, I have a J-Max and hate the magnetic catch cup. It used to come off while grinding probably 10% of the time. I now leave a strip of electrical tape on it to keep it on while grinding.

    I love 1zpresso’s grinders. My JX-Pro is a real legend but there are different grinders for different types of coffee. For example, the 1zpresso ZP6 (which is back in limited stock) is largely considered the best hand grinder for modern speciality filter coffee.
