It’s such a delight to watch this man’s coffee videos. He is so INFORMED, ya would think he was a “COFFEE PROFESSOR “!! Keep up the good work 👏👏👏👏👏👍🏻👍🏻
Got one for 18 months now? Very good. I make espresso, pour-over, French press... Will buy again, but I don't see why, it's built like a tank. The rubber grip slips, it's heavy, and the grind settings is not calibrated exactly. I think that's about all the downsides. I can live with it, I didn't even re-calibrate, but it's something that you can do if it bothers you.
I thought this was funny, I bought this manual grinder to be methodical and slow with my grinding as a practice with my precious beans … then you spin it around faster than a Ferris wheel 😂 I do appreciate your video and content. Cheers ☕️
Great video , concise and informative! Really liked it. One thing, from a jx pro owner I would like to add is that as you mentioned it has a great resolution but also you can grind like as fast as you can -> more fines and get a specific result from espresso, you can grind very slow, like 60rpm one turn per second, with same grind size and get another result. I did not expect that since it's manual but it is something I like to play with. Final thing, it's very easy to dose coffee in the PF and for pour over or moka.
As usual, a great review. I have that grinder, which I bought to grind whilst I was waiting for my Niche Zero to be made. I figured I could use it later as a travel grinder. A definite improvement on the built in grinder on my DeLonghi. Once my Niche arrived, I loved it so much that I have never used the Jx-Pro again.
Hi Tom, thanks for sharing. I also much prefer an electric grinder to a hand grinder, at least for everyday use. But hand grinders are good for traveling, or if I am too lazy to bring a big heavy grinder into my modest basement studio for a video. Cheers! Btw, never tried the Niche, but I would like to someday. I think I'd like the Mazzer conicals.
just for people who wanna buy this grinder - i have used it for roughly 3 months and here are my thoughts: pro: -super high quality -feels really nice to use - grinds super fine and i got amazing shots - takes roughly 25 secs for 17g to grind cons: honestly just one, but this makes it a deal breaker for me and is the reason, I wanna sell it and switch to a automatic grinder like the eureka specialita. When grinding with a manual grinder, it actually really depends on how fast or slow you grind. this GREATLY impacts the final grind size of the coffee. So in practice you have to also keep in mind how fast you go and any variation in speed impacts the shot. Personally my goal is to have super consistant shots but this grinder makes it really really hard. It is good value but if you wanna really get into espresso making, go for the automatic grinders out there. It is just a hassle to imo
Thanks for sharing your thoughts! I also find that hand grinding on a daily basis is a bit of a cumbersome process. Which electric grinder are you going for?
Cons Point 3 (loose grind catcher): I have bought a rubber seal set at my local Baumarkt (hardware store?) and stretched a small, relatively wide seal around the thread of the catcher. Now it does not come off anymore… hope this helps
I don't know why, but for some reason, with this grinder, using my espresso machine (Delonghi Dedica), I had to put the dial to 2.3 - 2.5 rounds to make espresso. The 1Zpresso's recommendation made the coffee too fine and the machine just couldn't push through it. Has anyone had the same issue? I am wondering if I am doing something wrong 😳
Depends on the roast. I can go from 10 (light roast) to almost 20 (dark roast). I shouldn't grind light roast for espresso, but hey. You adjust your grind to the machine as well. 32 seconds for 16 grams of beans, between 32-40 grams in the cup, so a 2 to 2.5 espresso for double cappuccinos and whatnot. It's a ballpark. On a Gaggia classic with bottomless and 9 bars mod.
Oh and if it's a 'cheaper' machine with a pressurised basket, these machines are suppose to take regular grind settings (for regular filtered coffee), not espresso settings. So yeah, I go to 24 on those, like for regular filtered coffee.
Well, for everyday use, I much prefer electric grinders for their ergonomics. The Silenzio is great! The Jx-Pro is nice on a budget though, or for traveling.
Wow what a crema extraction. Do you have as well a review video of the used Espresso Maschine from gagia? Or the type or an affiliate link, where I can check out?
Hello there, thank you for watching! I plan to do a review on this machine soon. I included some affiliate links for the Gaggia classic pro in the description up above. 👆Cheers! Tom
Oh boy, I don’t want to lie. I recorded this about a month ago, so I’m not 100% sure. They were either Lavazza espresso (The purple bag) or Dinzler Roma, but I think they were Lavazza. I use a Brita filtered tapwater in Germany. Germany is known for really good tapwater. 👍🏻
Any recommendations for an automativ grinder thats better than the delonghi arte? Under $300 USD? Or would i need to spend more than that to get something better.
I have from 2021 a DeLonghi KG79 automatic grinder on which I paid £39 from Amazon. It can grind from 2 to 12 cups of coffee and can be set from fine to coarse.
You could do 1zpresso grinder and a cordless drill. Bonus: you can use the cordless drill for other stuff around the house. The 1zpresso website literally says you can use those on all of their grinders. I think it's brilliant. I would buy a powerful/ expensive enough drill though, to get a lot of torque at low RPMs. That's what I plan to do myself. I absolutely hate my malkhonig/ Vario electric grinder.
I'm torn by the indecision, I don't want to spend €400 in an electric grinder but I don't know if I'd be able to do all that work every morning before going to work. I'm afraid I'd give up on it after a week of use.
I will be honest. Hand grinding gets old, fast. It only hurts once to spend €400 on a grinder, but hand grinding everyday will get cumbersome. Just keep in mind that an electric grinder can also be used for pourover, french press, aeropress, all sorts of coffee preparation types. I think it's worth it.
@@TomsCoffeeCorner What the hell, I ordered the Jx-Pro anyway. My reasoning is the same I apply for everything that can scale up in price: €400 would get me a mid-end grinder like a Baratza Virtuoso+ but the consensus in the web is that there are far better grinders like the nice zero for €800. If I spend €400 now I'll never buy another grinder having already spent that much, but if I spend €170 on the JX-Pro and I ever want to get a serious grinder I won't mind having gotten the JR-Pro and I'd have something to get started in the meantime.
That seems to be right, 500 microns would be 0.5mm. If that is the thread pitch, then that would be right. For reference, the thread pitch on the Timemore is 1.0mm. So, not that different. Just a much better resolution.
Thanks for watching, comments welcome!

Thanks for that rpm tip - I will have to try that out!
Good review, thanks. I bought 1zpresso xpro and absolutely happy 😊 recommend.
Just bought this for 129€ in amazon. Bought because of your videos recommendations. Thanks. Can't wait to arrive
Hope you enjoy it!
@@TomsCoffeeCorner hi. So mine jx-pro is broken. Amazon will refund me. I think i will buy the J-Ultra. Have you tested this one?
I noticed you are grinding with diesel power. I use the Armstrong method myself. These are great grinders for the money.
Haha, took me a moment to realize you mean my shirt. 😉
Great, useful "hands on" review, Tom! Can't wait to start grinding some fresh beans next week!
Very nice Chryseas, have fun!

If you drink filter, especially with good water, the JX pro is actually very, very, very good!

Great video as always, also they recommend to get the j max for espresso, do you think its worth the extra money compared to the jx pro ?
I haven’t tried the J Maxx, but I don’t think you can go wrong with any of these grinders from 1Zpresso. Cheers! Tom
Cons Point 3 (loose grind catcher): I have bought a rubber seal set at my local Baumarkt (hardware store?) and stretched a small, relatively wide seal around the thread of the catcher. Now it does not come off anymore… hope this helps
Thanks for sharing!
Hmm, rubber belt going with grinders box, in case I got it together and brush also.
I liked this clear video as I am willing to buy this grinder
I have a question Tom : what coffee you have used in this video pls?
Oh man, I can't remember. Either Dinzler Roma, or Lavazza Cremoso, probably.
Is the Metal aluminum Burr safe or will it leach Aluminum metal particles when grinding?
It's stainless steel.
thanks for the review, have you tried the normcore grinders? how do they compare?
Hi there! I would like to try them, but I have not bought one yet. I plan to do a review soon enough. 👍🏻
@@TomsCoffeeCorner thanks!

How old is your machine? After many years, espresso machine's pumps can lose some compression.
Depends on the roast. I can go from 10 (light roast) to almost 20 (dark roast). I shouldn't grind light roast for espresso, but hey.

Hi, how does this compare with electric grinders for espresso? For example with the eureka mignon silenzio. Great videos!

Have you got a link for the espresso glass with handle that you used to pull a shot? The one at 4:41 Thanks.
Hi there! Sure I can give you the link, but they are german...

@@TomsCoffeeCorner thanks
What coffee beans brand are u using? Gaggia classic pro bars? Mean temperature? Water used is it filtered water or tap water?
Oh boy, I don’t want to lie. I recorded this about a month ago, so I’m not 100% sure. They were either Lavazza espresso (The purple bag) or Dinzler Roma, but I think they were Lavazza. I use a Brita filtered tapwater in Germany. Germany is known for really good tapwater. 👍🏻
Tom did they discontinue the JX pro? It’s not available on 1zpresso website nor Amazon. I see the X Pro-S available.
Not sure about that, but the Jx-Pro is starting to get long in the tooth. Cheers!
I only drink pourover, would you recommend this just for pourover or is there another hand grinder better?
This will do just fine for that. I also like the K4 however. That's my favorite actually.
I like you and your content 😉 💓💓💓
Is a rubber handle that comes loose after a few months of use very troublesome? Can you just take it off and use it without it?
I think you need it for a good grip. But you can still grip it, even if the band becomes loose.
Timemore C3 review please, Tom! :D
Sure thing, one of these days I will. 🤗
@1:09 click settings
How is the JX Pro in comparison to the Kingrinder K4 or K6?
I like the K4 much better. Great results, similar resolution, and more fun to use with the click collar.
Would this be ok to pair with a Delonghi dedica ?
Does this one grind fine enough for Turkish coffee?
Yes, it can grind super fine, like powder.
Any recommendations for an automativ grinder thats better than the delonghi arte?
Under $300 USD?
Or would i need to spend more than that to get something better.
Hi there! The best one around that price range by far is the Eureka Mignon:

If you don't mind me asking besides from making coffee is it also your profession?

K4 or this one?
K4 hands down for me.
Where is it made? For 150$ it better not be PRC.
Made in China. Designed in China, too.
Designed and made in Taiwan. I have the JX. Not pro. Excellent for pour over. Great review and good Chanel. Cheers.

1 minor click = 12.5 microns, 1 major click = 50 microns, 1 full rotation = 500 microns? Hmm 🤔
That seems to be right, 500 microns would be 0.5mm. If that is the thread pitch, then that would be right.
For reference, the thread pitch on the Timemore is 1.0mm. So, not that different. Just a much better resolution.
