After hearing me say I wanted a grinder, as I wanted better tasting coffee, my girlfriend surprised me with the Comandante C40 for Christmas. Other than the occasional caramel, or seasonal spiced latte, she's not much of a coffee drinker. So you can imagine my surprise when I learned she had done thorough research on everything related to great tasting coffee and grinders. I think this video was one of the deciding factors for the Comandande C40 she chose. So, thank you, Kyle, and Comandante. It's truly a great grinder. ✨

@adrienv500 2 года назад

I've been using my Kinu m47 Phoenix for the past 9 months and I love it. Many people complain about the thumb stop of the Simplicity or the Classic. Oddly, it is replaced with a much more comfortable piece of rubber on the cheaper Phoenix version. To me, the most important is the possibility to adjust very precisely the grind size. It's pretty much the only thing that matters to get the perfect cup of coffee. The Kinu does that perfectly thanks to its stepless adjustment system. By the way, I read somewhere that grind uniformity is not all. Some finer grounds are also needed.

@ryannicholls3372 2 года назад

Interesting! I’m still tossing up Kinu or C40. Apparently uniformity does matter for espresso. More uniformity equals a cleaner and more refined cup and less uniformity generally equals a better texture and mouth feel. I can’t say my palette is advanced enough for that, but some of it does come down to preference.

@jettmuhlhuaser9880 Год назад

I have been using the J-max for a few months now, and overall for an espresso hand grinder it’s the best in the market for $200. The only problems I have had with it is reassembling the the top nut. It’s an awkward grip to get real tight enough bc if you don’t you’ll start skipping gears when grinding. Also, (this is an issue with all hand grinders not just the j-max) is that I recommend using medium to dark roasts bc lighter roasts can be quite the workout on your arms to grind those hard light roasted beans. Which is an issue bc most specialty coffees come in lighter roasts these days. But if you want a high quality espresso grinder and don’t want to spend $500 plus on an electric one, the J-max will make great espresso.

@marcelocalamita8968 2 года назад

Excellent review Kyle! Also the quality of shooting is amazing. I have been using C40 and I love the style, the feeling, and the quality of the cups. For espresso, I use 1zpresso JE-Plus. Fantastic 47mm burs, same jar as K-Plus. It takes 50 sec for 18 g but it is smooth, a real pleasure to use it. With 12,5 micra stepped adjustment is also very easy to dial in.

@monodera78 2 года назад

Awesome video Kyle! I've been waiting for it. I've all those hand grinders except the normcore. I understand what you say about C40 and K-plus. C40 is my favorite grinder for pour over and Kinu for espresso because it produces the best flavour! For daily uses I prefer the Brazilian grinder Bravo It (Do you know?). Of course, i really like JX pro and K Plus too. And I think the J-max is excellent, but they could put the JE burrs to have a exceptional espresso like Kinu! Thanks for sharing your results!

@KyleRowsell 2 года назад

@Kmaaq 2 года назад

I’ve had the K-plus for a year now, some notes: 1- I was reluctant about the magnetic base at first but now it’s one of my favorite features. The trick of removing it super easily is twisting it as you do so. Otherwise it’s pretty solid. 2- Look for another grinder if you only want to use it for espresso. It takes about a minute of grinding, becomes super tough to grind with at espresso grind sizes (between 3 and 4), and the clicks are just way too big to adjust for espresso. With One click you can go from choking to a too fast flow.

Nice vid. Got a C40. Feeling very happy right now! Good to know that the extra hassle, which I am aware of, does have a pay off. I'm a Flair user, and espresso is such a minefield of variables that I wouldn't always know if the way it tastes is down to the grinder, though when I hit it right, it's just great. But for pour-over, I have found the cups I get to be silky, smooth, juicy and well-rounded, just like you say, from day one. Great to hear that confirmed. I'll settle for great tasting coffee and a few extra cranks of the burrs.

@mprz8188 Год назад

Hey, I'm here to tell you what's the REAL difference between the Kplus and the C40: durability C40 doesn't have the fancy Hi-Tech adjustment mechanism of the K series but trust me it will last for generations. Can't say the same about the Kplus. The adjustment mechanism is delicate (mine was spilled with water and boom... It's damaged. No joke, it's broken) I used to own a Jxpro. Then stepped up to Kplus and dude... Regret I did. At least the Jxpro can be washed with water and soap and will Never let you down.

I'd just like to leave a comment for others like me that are considering the normcore v2. I watched this video 6 months ago and decided to buy it since I was looking for something I could take with me. I'll just leave my experience with using it daily, hoping it helps someone. After 6 months I can tell you its totally worth the price. It makes a great cup of filter coffee but its a little finicky for espresso, at least trying to dial in medium-light rostas (I tend to find darker roast more forgiving). I'd take a little more resolution, as you get maybe 4 clicks of adjustment for espresso. Even so, it is completely capable of doing espresso. I find that its easier to just adjust the dose slightly when I find myself between steps. It isn't the most ergonomic thing ever and I had the catch cup unscrew on me a few times while grinding since I tend to grip it around the top, but its not a big deal. I'm just writing this since it would have liked to know when I bought it.

Now (sorry) do the same for electric grinders :D Looking forward to the new Eureka single doser compared to Niche. Also, hey, what about a EK43 test? Is it the ultimate in taste? Does it work in the home? If not, can it be modded to work at home? Does it do both filter and pour over better than every other grinder? Is the uniqe burrset the very best? Anyways, looking forward to the next one! Great work bud!

I've already made my purchase, but it's always nice to see a video that helps to tamp down the buyer's remorse! I can't spend money without second guessing myself, so thank you Kyle! I don't do espresso, so I was looking for a grinder that went from French press to moka pot in range. Narrowed it to the regular JX (not Pro) and the K-Plus, and ultimately decided on the latter just to indulge myself with a bit of luxury. So far, I've mostly been surprised (don't know why since it's kind of the point) how different the cups have been from my Encore (which was my first non-blade grinder) since that is what I was used to. But I'm very appreciative of the experience as the making of the coffee is more my meditative break from work than is the drinking of it.

In fact the JX-pro brings a bit more sweetness to the front and is a tiny bit less acidic than the C40, but can't choose one over the other for pour over TBH That being said, Normcore (entry level) does exceptionally well for such a low price and build quality is just great.

@kbvg24 2 года назад

Thanks Kyle for this vid. Great descriptions and overall review. I love my Kplus too and I’m glad I got it over the C40 and M47. Two cons I have about the Kplus are the magnetic cup and the blind shaker. For denser beans it’s harder to grind, but due to the magnetic cup, I can’t rest the grinder on my chest to get better stability since it’ll snap off. I also find that the blind shaker traps too much coffee ground that it takes forever to unscrew everything and brush every crevice for coffee grounds. BUT a trick I find that helps with my workflow is that with the magnetic cup along with the non-blind shaker attachment, you can semi-attach the mag cup on the rim of a 58mm portafilter, and it acts as a dosing cup which you can just flip over, similar to niche’s cup.

@danymeeuwissen5973 2 года назад

Good job Kyle! I own 4 of the grinders in this video and agree with most findings. The only thing I struggle with is the sweetness that people seem to love so much in the comandante. Mine (second hand, red clix) has a slightly muffled/muted taste compared to the K-plus, which is definitely cleaner/complex but I don't feel like it loses sweetness because of this. Then again, everyone's tastebuds are different, as is the coffee you use, water chemistry, etc. It all influences taste and balance. My J-max is almost as fast as the K-plus though, which is weird that yours was slower. I'm ususally at around 35s for a 20g espresso dose for the Flair 58 on both. I haven't timed it on coarser settings though.

@KyleRowsell 2 года назад

Interesting! I didn’t time me espresso times for these findings so maybe the Jmax is faster on its finer settings comparatively.

@s-plus 2 года назад

@@KyleRowsell I have JX Pro, and I regularly do 34-35 sec for 20g of very fine espresso grind, and a second or two less for a regular espresso grind, and of course quite a bit faster for coarser grinds. So I'm also not sure about these grind results... The regular JX shouldn't be slower than the JX Pro for coarser grinds.

Thanks for this great comparison, Kyle! Which one do you think produced the best espresso shot? And what about the JE-Plus?

Excelente comparativo! 👏👏👏

Awesome reviews! Thank yhou so much for doing this. I'm looking to upgrade from my Hario grinder soon. The lack of click control and being able to see it makes it hard to dial in a certain grind size. Have you ever used or tried the Flair Royal Grinder?

Great video! What do you think about the Flair Royal?

Great review Kyle, I really enjoy watching your videos. What are your thoughts on the Aergrind by Knock? I am currently using it and I have some great results on filter coffee. Best wishes for 2022 and keep up the good work

Yaassss I agree! I just have my mk4 c40! Although it is relatively slow compare to others but it creates decent shot!

@bravenkind7843 Год назад

All these are going to be pretty good. That being said, I’ve had the m47 Phoenix for years. It’s been fantastic, very easy to grind due to the long handle and great adjustment for different roasts. No significant issues or problems, still makes fantastic coffee, will get you some of the best cups you can get if the settings and technique are dialed in. Plastic bin holds more grounds. Pour over burr is slower but does indeed make better course grinds. Needs a lid and some rubber grip though - I cut a lid from some thin plastic vinyl to wrap around the center like a donut with a slit through one side and a tab, and some rubber bands from broccoli for grip. Get the one based on the features that seems best to you and leave it at that!

Missing out Orphan Espresso Lido OG. There is a wonderful grinder back to field with step and step less grind setting.

I used Essentia bottled water to brew my FogBuster Summit Sunrise coffee absolutely delicious cup! I have found that some of those little health food stores with all the vitamins carry some excellent bottled water compared to the big brands. But for home use, I prefer RO water with Bodybio E-Lyte electrolytes for best water for coffee.

My K-Plus arrives tomorrow, it will be my very first grinder and will be a interim solution until the WW Key arrives. Of course I will use it afterwards as a portable solution. I also read that the J-Max produces too much fines, which diminishes the advantage of being a dedicated espresso grinder. I fell in love with the tumbler and I also think that the silver color is a more durable option, compared to the black anodized aluminum. Thank you for this great review, it really confirmed my choice.

The silver color as well shines better when adjusting the grind size vs the black version. Easier to see.

Ordered the Normcore V2 with titanium coated burrs based on this. I've been using a Timemore nano for the last year but adjustment for espresso not good enough now I'm doing shots with the wacaco picopresso

@josiahbrown9128 2 года назад

Hi! Long time viewer but first time commenter. One of my favorite thing about the C40 is how often it is used as a reference to grind size. Grind size was one of the biggest frustrations for me getting into coffee because of how poorly defined things like "medium" and "medium fine" are. I've found the C40 is widespread enough that recipes will often mention how many clicks on the C40 taking the guesswork out of grind size that comes with many of these other grinders.

@KyleRowsell 2 года назад

Hi Josiah! Thanks for commenting! Complete agree - it’s one of the greatest strengths of the c40

@PIANOPICTURES 11 месяцев назад

Totally agree. I choose it because it is kind of the de facto standard and the reference for the tons of videos and recipes all over around.

Fantastic video. My youngest sister is going to college next year and inquired about a hand grinder for a Dorm Room pourover setup. I recommended the Normcore V2 and am so happy to see you’ve had such great things to say about it.

thanks for watching Lance!

@victormorenogarcia9257 2 года назад

THANKS, i was thinking about upgrade my hario slim pro grinder. I though to buy the Jx, but 150€ for me was too much. Now i will buy the normcore

@project86xero 2 года назад

Because the J max was on a super long backorder I got the k-plus and don't regret it at all. It's my one and only coffee grinder. An I'm loving it. I use it for everything from French press and aeropress to pour over and Espresso. So thx for everything you do to help me and others elevate their home coffee brewing experience.

@Scott_Williams 2 года назад

So you dialled in for the Commandante it tasted the best?

@liamstrain 2 года назад

Thanks for this. I chose the JXPro personally and found it to be great for espresso. Looks like it is hard to go too far wrong with any of these.

@AnonYmous-wf1oz 2 года назад

Once your budget reaches the JX pro level, everything after has diminishing returns.

@mprz8188 Год назад

@@AnonYmous-wf1oz stepped up to K series and now I regret. K series are quite fragile. The adjustment mechanism is highly prone to damage. Mine just suffered some water spillage and it's over. No way to repair it. Decided not purchasing the adjustment wheel again and look for better and more reliable options. My JXpro was in general much more robust and dependable. If your goal is best uniformity of grinds, k series can't be beaten. But if your goal is a grinder that's durable and versatile, JXpro does much better.

@lastfour 2 года назад

They are expensive for my wallet but I'll go with the Normcore. Thanks for the video and recommendation!

@iSee91 2 года назад

Thanks for the cool comparison Kyle. I got a question. I got the C40 with Red Clix axis (double the clicks) and was wondering if the K-Plus has finer adjustments? How can the clicks on the C40 be compared with thr K-Plus. Is one C40 Click (without Red Clix in case you don‘t have it installed) equal to 2 K-Plus clicks or is it rather 3 or 4 (or more) clicks on the K-Plus. Thanks for your help!!!
