1Zpresso X-Ultra Manual Coffee Grinder-Midnight Black, Well-built Sturdy Metal Body, Assembly Stainl...

I bought this grinder specifically for travel. We drive to a vacation property for a week a few times each year. The kitchen is quite well-equipped, but a Mr. Coffee doesn’t cut it for me, so I bring and Aeropress or French Press instead. My travel grinder has been a Hario Skerton, but I had come to dread grinding with it. I’m 63 and have some early arthritis in my hands, so gripping that fat grinder and turning with a reasonable amount of effort for what seemed like an eternity, but was prob

I didn't realize what I was missing until I started using the X-Ultra.

After thinking of all the lost coffee and tired of all the cleaning, I read through reviews by professional coffee roasters and found that this hand gri

I was looking to add a manual grinder to my setup, mostly for travel purposes. I normally drink espresso at home but do pour over or French Press when traveling. After doing a lot of reading, the X Ultra fit exactly what I was looking for. The first one showed up, and the finish was really pretty awful. Directly from their FAQs: "Minor imperfections on the surface of the metal are to be expected during the aluminum anodizing process." I submitted for a replacement and received it quickly.
