My experience was, when i want to release the catch cup, don't turning it directly, but try to hold the catch cup, then turning the body of the grinder with other hand. Hope it can reduce the fall incidence of the catch cup 😁
If you want a magnetic catch cup from 1Zpresso, might be best to go for one of the K-Series grinders. The K-Max might be the model I am thinking of. Also good for filter and has the same external adjustment system. I'm sure that the differences with this one are just a bit subtle. Nice work on the video. It's criminal that you don't have thousands of subscribers. Big love from Jakarta, Indonesia.
Super helpful thanks. Your style is paced well and just like the coffee from the ZP6, your are very clear! I'm just getting into filter coffee and bought a ZP6 and a Hario Switch. I'm grinding 20 grams at around 40 clicks on the dial, does that sound about right as a starting point?
Hi there! Glad you enjoyed the video :) Yes, I'd say that's a good starting point! Personally 40 is my finest pour over setting for a 13g dose so you can grind even coarser next time unless you're focusing more on the immersion aspect of the Hario Switch
Still OK! I'd say you'd have to adjust your brewing technique if using med roasts ie lower temp + coarser grind to match the acidity forward and high flavor separation presentation of the zp6
Thank you for s good video. Would you also say it its optimized for Aeropress? Im making filter style (light roast) coffe on my Aeropress most of the time. Not the «espresso» style.
@@wideawakeph3662 I was thinking of getting the Kinu M47 with pourover burrs. The ZP6 is clear but does it have the mouthfeel that Kinu provides? It would be great to see a comparison. Btw the Kinu m47 with pourover burrs takes awhile to grind (3 min for 20g for me).
I haven't tried the K-ultra so I can't say with certainty. But what I can say is that the burrs in the ZP6 are optimized for pourover whereas the K-ultra burrs are not as 1zpresso claims that it can do grind for both espresso and pourover.
Can it do espresso? I know they specifically said it's a filter focused grinder, but CAN it do espresso? I prefer doing mostly pour over but would like to do espresso occasionally so wondering if this grinder is capable of it.
the main point is, espresso require a certain amount of fine grinds but this grinder is doing almost the least amount of fine grinds in the market so i don't think it can suit the duty. For occasional espresso grind, it's better to go for an x-pro or k-series(if your budget allows).
Nice video! I would like to ask you a question: How would you try to brew sweeter cups with this grinder? I'm considering the ZP6 Special for the transparency and complexity but I still love to find a sweet taste in my coffee, and I'm afraid of losing that
I own the Comandante C40, the 1Zpresso K-Plus and the Kinu M47. The first too are very close very similar taste wise with the K-Plus maybe a but more and the fruity/acidic side and the Comandante a tiny bit more complex, but often I wouldn't be sure blind tasting between the two. I recognize the Kinu every single time though, because it is that much worse tasting than the other two. It's been four years I have tested it enough to know. If the ZP6 in this video is better than the K-Plus it will crush the Kinu all day.
@David Wong I don't have the pourover burrs but a good friend has them we did extensive testing and it is not convincing either. K-Plus and C40 are easily better constantly.
