The Guide to Hand/Manual Grinders: 1Zpresso, Timemore, MYM/MYY

No comments yet ↓ specifications & manual ↓

This would be a very brief post now, since I’m in a hurry to share my discovers before the end of the 11.11 sale on Aliexpress. I will update it late with more details and full review of 1Zpresso and Timemore grinders.

Straight to the facts. Manual coffee grinders are one of the rare espresso devices – except tampers, pitchers, knock-boxex and other accessories – that are worth buying at AliExpress. That’s because Chinese coffee grinder factories not simply produce OEM-products, which will be labeled under Hamilton Beach/Oster/whatever. They do all the marketing by themselsves and…

The secret is that you can buy an original 1Zpresso or Timemore grinders on AliExpress for less. And that’s not the case like when someone shows you cheaper copies or analogues of Western brands. No. When ordering something named like MYM54 or MYY47 coffee grinder… you are getting the very same 1Zpresso Q series grinder or new Timemore Chestnut C1. Personally checked!
