1zpresso j-max
48mm titanium burrs, 8.8 microns per click, serious precision
the 1Zpresso J-Max is a high-end manual grinder built around 48mm titanium-coated conical burrs and a 400-click external dial that moves just 8.8 microns per step. that level of precision puts it squarely in espresso territory, but the full range covers turkish coffee through french press. at around $199, it outperforms electric grinders at twice the price in grind consistency, holds 35-40 grams, and ships with a magnetic catch cup.
