1Zpresso K-Max vs K-Ultra. | Is there any difference? 

Great review. Just what I was looking for. Thank you! Nice camera btw

Thank you! Good video. I'm waiting for my k-max and it seems I will not be disappointed.

Love your in depth reviews

I really like your content and do hope you get more views soon. Keep it up!

Very informative and to the point, thanks!

Great videos Jack, keep the videos coming, in 2023 you will reach 100k subscribers 👍

I've had the K-Max for almost a year and love it.

Splendid. I have small features. I find when I place my hand over the knob and began cranking, there's a natural feel to it. Wrist action applied is directed into the shaft and it's wondrous. Efficient cranking produces a nice product in the finish. Nice VID , pal.

I have the K-Ultra and I'm very satisfied with it. I can only compare it to a rocket fausto with 65mm burrs. It takes me about 30sec. to grind 18gr. of espresso beans; use it multiple times every day. I enjoy your channel 🙂 Keep going!

I found the K- Plus I have was producing sour / unbalanced coffee, very similar to the new Niche Zero I had at the same time, until the burrs were more seasoned after a few months of use.

Thank you , perfect channel 🌹

Thanks for the compare review. I received my K-Max the other day and I am happy, but sometimes the grinding is a bit difficult. I have to switch between holding the grinder with my right and left hand. I imagine it will get easier with time (either I will get stronger or the grinder will get easier to use due to seasoning). I enjoy your channel, you come across as very genuine and kind. Keep it up.

Well done with all your videos. They’re great. I am looking for a hand grinder - 1/2 for pour over and 1/2 for espresso. I know the Jmax with the smaller microns will perform better on the espresso side - i had my heart set on the K Ultra - do you find the espresso shots really good - or just ‘ok’ ?

Dude I thought the camera quality looked different lol Looks fantastic man 👊🏾

Great video as usual, even when you were filming with your phone. What's the new camera you bought? Thanks

First time watching you Jack. Great video. I found you because I am looking at buying a K Ultra for travel. I would like to be able to grind for aeropress when I travel and maybe V60 at home. I have a lagom p64 at home with the espresso burr set and maybe I’d like to use a different grinder at home.

I bought a K-Pro two years ago, and I am still very, very happy with it. The new handle with the joint is probably not meant to help with travelling or storing, but to make the grinder more stable while putting it on the table with the handle attached what is almost impossible with my "old" K-Pro, it will just tip over. I put some adhesive thick felt on the bottom of my grinder (normally used for the legs of chairs or tables not to scratch the floor) so I can knock it on the counter after grinding. Also if you store the grinder, just take off the handle and put it with the wooden handle top on top of the grinder haging down at the side, the handle will hold and it will take very little space. My zero point is exactly at the mark 0 so espresso is around 3, Aeropress at 7 and pour over at 8-9. Instead of timing, I think, it would be more comparable if you would count the rotations while grinding. Really like your channel!

One reason for the foldable/collapsible handle is for a lower center of gravity, so it is less likely to be knocked down. Although avoiding the legal action from another company probably have a huge part on the redesign. And comes with a little bit extra space saving is a plus anyway.

Hi Jack - would you know if the K ULTRA is capable of producing a nice grind for Turkish coffee

I have the K ultra, I think the folding handle is to save some space for when it's just sitting around, and to make it more difficult to knock over by catching the handle when your swing your hands around. Tbh I don't ever fold it, I've had no issues, I'm not an awkward person :p I also think they've discontinued the production of k max so double check on that but they might be running out.

I have the K-Pro for 3 month now. I daily drive it for my V60 pour over. Was bit hesitant to get it cauz it is made in Taiwan, and was thinking of getting the Comandante C40 that is made in Germany for that high price instead. Honestly I really loved this grinder, the easy number indication settings and grind quality is very consistent. My pourover timings and taste is always so consistent with it using various coffee beans. Not regretting my decision !!!

I gave away my K-Max. I loved it, but I drink mostly espresso and prefer my SSP burrs on an electric grinder, mostly because of work involved. The quality of coffee from K-Max was good. Grinding for espresso using a hand grinder seemed unnecessary. If I needed a hand grinder I would buy it all over again.

hi, i am more intersted in the size of the carry case, i use it primarily for travel. Which carry case is smaller per se

At my experience in 1zpresso they added foldable in handle to keep the hand grinder stand and balance at flat surface

Awesome video as always. Looking forward to hand vs electric grinders. I can't figure out the advantages and disadvantages, other than having to do a workout every time :) I just bought a DF64 as my first pro-consumer (if you can call it that way) grinder... but I didn't even consider getting a hand grinder instead! Keep up the good work, the content is great, well thought, and honest.

i have k-plus and really like it )

I just ordered the K-Ultra because the gearbox broke in my Sette 270. I'm very excited to try it out for espresso! I'll be interested to see if I can dial it in to taste better than the 270. Great video!

Very informative and nicely presented, thank you ! 👍🏼 For the moment I mainly drink moka pot coffee, and I wondered what kind of IZpresso would best fit this need without investing in the ultimate expensive one ? (I'm a lady). Your advice would be highly appreciated ! 🙂 I dream of indulging myself with a 9barista some day, though. So I guess the Ks would be a better choice in case I do... but the priiiice ! Lol. Also not too fond of that weird foldable handle : looks like it's kind of short and weaker.

Hi buddy ✊ totally newbie here: could you please recommend me a place to start with the K Ultra for an espresso attempt with Bellman CX 25P? What setting should I start with? From a bit of research I found the grind should be between a normal fine espresso and drip grind? What setting would that be on the K Ultra please?Also, what roast do you recommend for it? Thank you 🙏

I like to drink espresso with caramel and chocolate flavor, what should i buy k plus, k ultra or k max to make espresso with caramel and chocolate flavor ? Thanks brother

What grinder settings do you recommend for k-max for v60?

Oh this is the video I was looking for... turns out I've been here and commented on it before lol.

I have been having joy with my k-max, but I do agree that it can be a bit tiresome to grind daily. It’s my daily driver though, because I found the inexpensive electric grinders couldn’t handle my half dozen espressos daily without the motor burning out after a year or two. I mostly drink very dark oily beans and I do find sometimes that the oily beans means that the grinds will sometimes not want to come out of the catch cup unless I cajole them a bit. But it does make some of the nicest grinds I have seen. they are very fluffy and very uniform and the grinder is very easy to clean. But if I could find a good electric one I might just relegate the k-max to portable use. But that’s only because I grind more coffee than the average single person. So if you find a good electric one with similar or better grinds, it would be worth my investigation. I heard flat burrs were supposedly possibly better for espresso but I don’t know. I just got into coffee seriously a couple years ago when the coffee shops were not open, but it turned out to be way more interesting than I’d thought. So I guess I’m an espresso shot in progress hahahaha.

If I want only for aerporess is it ok to go with k max? The difference in money is like $45 more for k ultra.

its my 3days of using k ultra im in learning stage they said commandante but i like 1zpresso ultra all in one espresso to french one thing i dont like the magnet if you're careless it will be easily to make it drop while you make grinding thanks for the video

Can k max used for filter?

After a long time of research, I decided to choose the K-Ultra as my first grinder. I was in doubt about the Kingrinder K6, but as I intend to have a general use and for a long time, I chose to invest in greater quality, finish and durability. I felt safer in choosing K-Ultra.

Do you plan to test the ZP6 ?

Dog you have a grind chart to K-ultra?

I ordered one! Got the classic K-Max :)

I bought a K-Ultra and sent it back. Decided to wait for the Ode Gen 2 instead.

long story short k max is the updated version of the ultra cosmetically

Tradução em português

Kplus or kmax?

I have k-max ♥️♥️♥️

I got the Ultra just a month ago. And there was absolutely no information about on that in English

The handle is designed like this to avoid the legal issue with the monopoly-wannabe comandante
