Which grinder is best for espresso?
I would say these ones are nice: Monolith Flat Max , EG-1, Lagom P100 , Kafatek Conical, Bentwood Vertical 63, and Mahlkonig EK43 . It really also depends on what you want for espresso. Some grinders bring out more clarity and defined flavors, while others focus on sweetness and body. Zpresso doesn’t recommend the Q2 for espresso at all – it takes around 2 minutes to grind a 20g dose – but if you’re happy to invest the time and effort for the occasional shot then you’ll be very pleased with the results. Though I wouldn’t use it as a dedicated espresso grinder.For espresso, we prefer the 1Zpresso J Ultra as it’s far more precise (8 microns per click vs 20. But it’s harder to switch between brewing methods as you need to move hundreds of clicks each time. Unless you’re planning on becoming an espresso nerd, the K Ultra will do a brilliant job for everything else.
