How does an 1Zpresso X Pro S compare to other popular grinders of any type?
I have an X Pro S and it’s been working great for me but I’m just curious as to how it stacks up against other manual and electric grinders.
I’m not really concerned about whether it’s a “better” grinder functionally or workflow wise than others. Everyone has their workflow preference and I get that. For instance, I happen to prefer the hand grinding experience and I know others really dislike it.
I’m more wondering about the quality of coffee it produces compared to other grinders.
I have the jx Pro and as far as I know it has the same burrs as the x pro. It gives me very comparable grind quality to my Eureka oro single dose for espresso and probably a bit better for filter.
JX-Pro and X-Pro have significantly different burrs.

I have an original X-Pro, which I consider to be my second favorite grinder.
