If anyone is considering an 1ZPRESSO, I’m just here to say that you can make the jump without worrying about the decision. I’ve had my JX Pro for about 18 months now and the quality is truly fantastic. Well worth the money. I’ll probably be buying another 1ZPRESSO in the next year so I can just leave one at work.

Something to note as someone with a K-Plus: that rubber wrap that you use as a hand grip will pop off after about 2 years, after the adhesive dries out, which leaves behind a nicely textured milled aluminum surface. I actually prefer it this way.

I used the JX-Pro for everything from cold brew to espresso. I love that it literally does everything. In my opinion its like a non-motorized niche. I absolutely love it. Best investment ever.,

This 1Zpresso company should seriously consider simplifying their product lines. There are waaay too many unnecessary series and products under different names with no significant differences. It's very easy to get confused and lost what each one does. I am aware they offer guideline but there are just way too many things. Stop adding new series!! THREE (or four max) hand grinders should be more than enough from one company.

Finally the comparison of x-pro with other grinders. So happy to hear that I made a right choice and bought the x-pro from Rogue Wave Coffee two months ago. My other choice was jx-pro, did not choose it because of the better design, heptagonal burr and easier external adjustment of x-pro. Maybe it is a bit overkill for the first grinder for me but I am enjoying coffee grinded by x-pro. Thank you so much for your videos they are really helpful!!

I just got my X-Pro 2 days ago. It's not slow grinding for espresso. 19g of medium roasted beans, at grind setting 3.5 done in under a minute. Although the effort required is fairly significant.

I recently bought the JX for my office based on your earlier videos and candid observations. I use it exclusively for V60 pour overs. Really love it. Thanks for these videos.

Woo! Finally have someone to fall back on when I suggest the X-Pro. Owned mine since Rogue Wave Coffee carried them (September 2022) and don't regret buying it. Great quality, great consistency, great speed. Great video. And great review imo. Directly compares the X Pro to some of the most popular grinders currently on the market in the pourover range. Pretty much voices all the pros and all the cons I have of the grinder. I am curious on your thoughts on the X-Pro via espresso, though.

So which one is better for espresso? I didn't clearly get the answer.

1Zpresso are an amazing company for consumers. Even if they are somewhat flooding the market and have extremely confusing naming systems, they are consistently putting out innovative and competitive products. Something like the Commandante may have been innovative at launch but has not progressed significantly since.

I’m on a crossroads right now since after hand grinding again after a long time, i know i need to upgrade my cheap-o grinder and your video made me decide to get this model. Thanks!

Glad I decided to go with this one in the end, waiting for it to arrive soon!

After watching this review I ordered an x pro s without blinking an eye. Thanks Kyle

This review was much awaited since X-Pro's release! Thank you @kyle

I just bought the JX (or the J manual) and now I want the X Pro. DAMN IT! 😂

Great review Kyle! Shout out to Ply and the rest of the crew at Rogue Wave Coffee for helping make this review possible!

Nice video. Really nice to know that the 1Z presso line continues to hold up. I also like the fact that the insides are all metal.

To me the biggest feature of the X-PRO is the new zeroing method for the grind adjustment dial, it's almost like cheating when compared to the J-Max or K-Max, made me want to grab one as a K-Max user🥵

Started off with a hario slim and moved onto the Q2 with an aeropress when camping. This got me into specialty coffee. Was thinking about getting an electric grinder at home and moving into espresso but for now the aeropress is so easy and I prefer a longer drink. This grinder is appealing

I bought one from Rogue after I saw your areropress video! Love it! Only problem is I dropped it and it tweaked the adjustment ring so it wasn't perfectly round so it would rub in certain spots and made adjusting rough where it was smooth as butter before. Super bummed but a rubber mallet and quick touch with a propane torch got it close to round again and still makes delicious cups. Don't make my mistake and don't drop it!

My first grinder was the K-Plus and I also got a Q2 to fit inside my Aeropress for travel. Great grinders. Love the coffee they produce. The k-plus is definitely an upgrade in terms of flavor. However I think any 1zpresso grinder would be a good buy.

This was a great review for someone like me who is an amateur. Massive appreciation for the slurp warning. I have misophonia and slurping makes me want to crawl out of my skin.

I’m going to give it a try tomorrow, but I appreciate the chart to give me a place to start: Aeropress 1.1 to 1.5 (70 clicks - 110 clicks) French Press 2.4 to 3.1 (160 clicks - 190 clicks)

What are the differences between k plus and x pro? Can u make a video about it?

Great video. Any chance you can comment on how this one stacks up against the Kingrinder K6 (which is a bit cheaper and IMO better looking, as well as supposedly being faster)

How does 1Zpresso manage to bring out an exciting and compelling new product just when it so happens that I'm looking to get a new hand grinder, and wanted to otherwise try other cup profiles from my JX Pro? This X-pro will definitely be a contender, especially if its basically a better version of the Q2 Heptagonal.

it would be great to see a comparison between the entire 1zpresso line

Right on! Ply at Rogue Wave also suggested this grinder to me. I was hesitant but went for it. The 1Zpresso X-Pro is a fantastic purchase! I do believe I'm satisfied having procured a hand grinder that out performs everything I've amassed (so many grinders). I can't tell if it's the best. It's mainly used for French press and Clever brewing. I still get a bunch of fines. I would love to compare this to the 1Zpresso ZP6. Wonder if I would prefer that more? Exceptional video, fellow Canadian! We always love to see new videos from you :)!!!

Keep making great content! Thanks as always!

Having a Q2, JX-Pro and K-Max, let me tell you the quality is amazing. They produce an amazing cup. Go buy one asap.

I have the K Plus and it has been a dream! It also has rubber on the bottom of the magnetic catch cup. You really can’t go wrong with any grinder from 1Zpresso

My first hand grinder after a Porlex was an 1zpresso Q2. The difference was basically night and day. It was quite surprising to me that Taiwanese companies could make something with such a substantial build quality and use quality for so much less!

Just watched your K and J series video and was set on buying the K-max!

My first grinder was a Timemore Chestnut C2 and I loved it but while it was perfect for my moka pot (size and grind) many told me it wasn't recommended for espresso grinds and I did have to put some effort towards the grinding and took some time due to the smaller diameter that beans entered and shared space within. Lastly the metal house while assisted my hand that held down the grinder it also hurt due to the bumps that assisted. I used a cheap bench clamp to instead hold down the timemore vs using my hand which helped greatly. Just got the J-Max grinder that can handle an espresso grinding size and while it still requires some effort when turning the crank it is less effort then the Timemore and having a bigger diameter allows for faster grinding with less rotations needed. Just got the J-Max a month ago but now I feel more influenced to actually buy fresh beans and grind it vs using Kcups as I rush about certain aspects of my day. Curious how other reviewers will compare this new grinder with J-Max and K-Max. I went for the J-Max not just being extremely beloved by others, $50 cheaper, and more control per click towards the grind size (takes some time to experiment to find the right sizes per brew methods but when doing so gives a extra level to the cups). The K-Max had some interesting features over the J-Max that I wish was incorporated into the J-Max (maybe a V2 J-Max) but ultimately I still leaned to the J-Max.

Nice review! In your opinion & tasting, which is better for pour over? The K-Max/Plus or the X-Pro?

Hey Kyle, Fantastic video as per usual. Man, I have to say, your production quality.. is something else. It is truly comparable to the best videos I’ve seen on KZfaq in general but without a doubt when it comes to Coffee related content. I love the comedic edits haha, it really does add to the overall quality of the video. Keep on keeping on 😊 Quick question: did you do any espresso tests ? You made a comment on it being slow so you’d recommend the K series. But what about the quality of espresso. Considering it’s 2/3rd of the cost of K series.. I think some people might be okay with the extra effort as long as the cup compares. Can you please share your thoughts on the cup quality of espresso in comparison to the K series, if you got a chance to try it for espresso. I’m choosing between the two grinders but want the ability to grind for espresso as well, so this would be super helpful. Cheers !

Seems the ordering from broader/more espresso oriented grind distribution to more unimodal/pourover oriented goes: JX/J-Pro/J-Max > K-Pro/K-Max > Q2/X-Pro > ZP6 special. If I can infer, the C40 falls into the K-Pro/K-Max range.

Great video! I have a K Plus for 2 years now so I understand the quality of this brand. Given the longevity of the burrs I don’t think I will be getting another grinder anytime soon. But great to know the updates!

Worth an upgrade from the Jx? Isn't a muddier bed resolved by grinding more coarse? If you dialed in each of the grinders to their best cup quality, I wonder how big of a difference there would be? Hard to not keep wanting new gear but that's my fault for watching these videos!

The adjustment per click is more than four times finer than the C40, more than twice as fine as Red Clix. The often quoted 30 micron clicks of the C40 refer to the approximate change in particle size, not movement of the burr. 0.7mm thread pitch / 12 clicks per round = 58.3 microns (29.2 w/red clix) Just pointing this out because a lot of other videos get this completely wrong and have led to the false perception that anything less precise than 15 microns per click isn't good enough for espresso.

Great video Kyle! A friend has just ordered one so I may have the chance to taste some amazing cups It's a shame the giveaway is only opened to US and UK but I also understand shipping costs are quiet high right now...maybe better luck on the patreon prizes :)

Thx Kyle! Great review as always and I just purchased an X Pro because of this video ☕

Great video as always! Really glad to see you doing a pourover for taste comparisons. As I’ve said before, it’s a much better way to compare grinders than a cupping would be. If I weren’t planning to get the DF64 I would have to seriously consider upgrading to this from my JX.

ARABICA!!! Great review kyle and the video quality is getting better every video

Just like the Lagoon Mini and Kingrinder K6, there will be subbyle differences. Side by side you can tell they are different but they share some similarities to the C40 burr. It's legit hard to remember what the differences though and you do need them side by side to tell. It's interesting to try them and see if they produce different cups but that's something I'd have to buy more similar grinders for and TBH I'm happy with my grinder. You'll notice I didn't say which one I have and that's the point.

Hello, I'm looking for a high-quality grinder for espresso, and I want to know if the 1Zpresso J-Ultra is a good choice. Are there other grinders like the Comandante or Timemore that I should consider? What do you suggest? Thanks in advance.

Kyle, great you got this excellent X-Pro review out so quickly! I asked Ply this question, but he suggested to ask you - how do you think this clarity-focused X-pro conical hand grinder compares to flat burr grinders like the Ode, Ode+SSP and VarioW+ in terms of cup quality?

How does it compare to the K series grinders in terms of filter brewing?

I ordered the x-pro last week and can't wait for it to arrive, I also am not a fan of the 1zpresso branding, maybe i'll find some kind of sleeve to wrap over their branding. Bit of an upgrade from my Hario Skerton.

8:51 'shaft rigidity' is very important for sure

Hi Kyle, thank you for another great review. Can you please compare the X-PRO TO the K-PLUS. I think they have similar burrs but K-PLUS doesn't have the same issues and maybe faster?

Hi, does Q2 and Xpro use the same burr? If not, what's the different between them(Just for flavor and taste). Actually I'm looking for a budget grinder which is closely to the Comandante C40.

That edit at 1:43 is pure gold😂

I have JX-Pro and it is the best grinder I ever have so far. Great constructioun, perfect adjustment, easy cleaning.... if You want to make some work for your cap of espresso, go for it. Its simply amazing.

Is the X Pro now the X Ultra for $169? Same grinder? I can't find X Pro anywhere. thanks.

Great video! I have a JX and have been loving it! Is it worth it to make the move to the new X-Pro?? (And gift my JX lol)

Wish this was an option before I got the C40 though not disappointed , curious to see how they compare in the espresso end of the spectrum

Great review, great product. Does it fit in the Aeropress for transport, just like the Q2?

I don’t see this one available now. What do you think of the new X-Ultra?

could you compare this vs Kingrinder K6 or K4? Thanks!

dude do you think this would be good for espresso coffee? You're mentioning filter only... Would be good to get your thoughts. Good vid thanks :)

Nice review! Just bought this grinder! What shirt are you wearing?

Great video! Just one question about the 1Zpresso JX - what is the maximum usable “coarse” (i.e., how many counter-clockwise rotations from zero position before the burrs start coming apart?)

What grind setting did you use for the X Pro in this video, I'm curious

Hi, I don't find much content comparing X-Pro or similar hand grinders with the electric ones in the same price range (Baratza Encore ESP). Hand grinders are always in a comparison with their own, but ultimately I want to know if the quality of espresso will be way better than the entry level espresso grinders (Opus, Barattza esp, etc..) and if the hand grinders perform better, then how much better (as good as Niche?) What would you go for overall in this budget?

Just ordered it based on your recommendation through the link. this is my first hand grinder. For my espresso grinder I’m torn between niche and df64P. Since I’ll be using the Xpro for pour over which would you recommend for espresso? I have a Bianca on the way also another expense inspired by your channel. Keep up the great content.

I thought about the X-Pro, but ended up buying the ZP6. Getting it 3 days from now!

I wonder if those 3 little black pins in the adjustment ring would be durable for years. Seems to be a bit fragile.

Great info especially for guys like me who’s on a tight budget… quality and price 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

I just got the Flair 58 and need a gringer to pair with it. It is just for me. Would the new 1zpress x ultra work for this espresso machine? Or woudl you recommend the D64p. I just got the new Ode gen 2 for coffee, so don't want to spend to much for my first one. This is my first espresso machine and will be my fist espresso grinder. Thanks. Keep up the great reviews!

1zpresso doing amazing things in every price bracket. Love to see it

Uffff I was about to pull the trigger on the K max! Now I’m not sure 😢. Great video !!

hello, what do you think is better for brewing coffee in a filter, comandante, k-plus or x-pro?

Hi all! I am interested in a coffee grinder for Turkish coffee. Unfortunately, I can't find the JX Pro in Canada right now. Can you recommend the X-Pro version for it? I'm interested in your thoughts. Thanks in advance.

How would the X Pro compare vs the K-Pro? Which one is better for filter coffee?

Hy Mr @KyleRowsell let me ask you. Which would you find doing a better job K6 or XPro? I want to buy one but I'm in doubt about those two guys. Thanks a lot

Thanks for bringing this grinder to my attention Kyle, there goes my pocket money again....

If I dont care about money and I want the best pour over coffee... theres nothing like the c40, correct?

Hey man! I bought the JX based on your recommendations a year ago and I love it. Can you tell me how many clicks you consider medium/ fine on the JX, if you were using a light roast Ethiopian coffee?

Today, I have got my X pro S grinder. I loved it. I have a question about this grinder. Interestingly, 0 was not in its place. It starts 5 click before 0. However, I saw in table that grinding size starts from 0. So how can I start counting clicks (from which point) if I want to adjust it for pressurized basket? Actually I want to make espresso with naked portafilter but I need to know just starting point for pressurized first and then go back more fine grind setting rotating it to counter clockwise. What would you recommend? I think even it starts from 5 click before 0 , I should come by normal rotating it to 0 first and only after to start counting clicks following the table for brew methods of official 1zpresso for X pro grinder although mine is X pro S model/

I’m currently using a varia hand grinder and I want something that’s going to be a step up and grind easier … would this hit the spot?

Did he say that the JX grinds way faster for espresso or the XP? Little confused about that last findings bit.

Recommended grind settings for strong Aeropress (20g coffee for around 200ml water)?

What grinder would you suggest for espresso if the flavor profile of the X-Pro sounds great?

How does the x-pro compare to the 7burr q2? I have just started brewing coffee with a moka. I'm not planning on buying any expensive coffee machines for espresso or anything like that, but I'd love to purchase my first grinder. I'm still a student so budget is tight, but if the x-pro is worth spending the extra 50 dollars I'd do it.

I want that thing so bad. I like my - only recently bought - JX, but I don't love the adjusment mechanism, but I love the external adjustment on my K-Plus. So the X-Pro is perfect to replace my JX.

Would you say that the buying the X pro would be an upgrade on the JXpro?

Kyle, I need your help, what’s the best grinder for Aeropress? Nobody has made a video on this subject. This shout is from the U.K…

How is it compares to KINGrinder K4 which has coated Burr and made for espresso?

Can you give some notes on using it for espresso? Specifically a cafelat robot

It is really hard to find an online shop, where I actually could buy the X Pro in Germany and/or Austria.

Thanks for yet another awesome video!

Where is it available for purchase?

The x-pro va the k-ultra for espresso?

I'm overwhelmed by so many options, which one is better for aeropress between this and the jx-pro?

Anyone know how the 1ZPresso compares to the Knock Aergrind? Very happy with my Knock as a travel grinder (got a great deal on a new old stock one when they updated it earlier this year) but not sure how this stacks up as a similarly priced all-metal hand grinder...

Hi Kyle! will you be doing a roasting video soon? I saw you have the Bullet and the M10 on your back. I have an M10 and would be nice to watch a video of you about it! eagerly waiting :)

Thanks!!! Awesome video as always. How would you compare the Xpro to the Kplus?

Can't take my eyes of Yr cap! Great clip as always.
