J-Ultra

This whole concept of things being better/ worse just doesn't hold true most of the time. Once you get to a certain point in coffee equipment, there isn't really such thing as better or worse. Just different. I don't really know what you expect to get out of the J ultra that you don't get out of you

More clarity for both methods is the X. Not that the J isn’t a good grinder. It’s great. It produces a more traditional, espresso, that has a rich, syrupy aftertaste and it’ll emphasize the more traditional coffee flavors (cocoa, caramel, nuts). I have an X-Pro and a J-Ultra and I use both for espre

I’ve had an X-Pro S for over 2 years (predecessor to the X-Ultra). I love the grinder. It’s a fantastic all-purpose grinder (as is the K). The burrs were slightly changed when they came out with the X-Ultra, but you get more for your $$$ with the Ultra - it has a magnetic catch cup and comes with a

I got rid of my Jura z7 and zero regrets. I loved the simplicity of the Jura, but the coffee cannot compare. It is also the polar opposite - you will learn about every aspect of making espresso with the Robot - I would suggest even using a hand grinder at first to fully appreciate every step of the

Moving from the sage built-in grinder to j-ultra was a huge improvement (say 50% better) . Moving from the sage to the flair was another big imrpovement (say 20%). The switch f

Having had a Flair 58 for over 2 years now, I can highly recommend it. If you’re considering one and it appeals to you, do it! As for grinders, I have 3 - The Ode Gen 1 (upgraded to Gen 2 burrs recently), and a 1Zpresso X-Pro and a J-Ultra. I use all of the above for the F58. As for the K-Ultra, by

I have J ultra for more than 2 months and it’s the best buy till today. Coffee experience increases exponentially with better grinder

Ha that's my setup minus the grinder I have the j ultra, great coffee machine

I will try that, I have a small mortar. Also I think a good manual grinder like the 1zpresso J-ultra I have is fine, at least I find my coffee very sweet, not aeropress level sweet, but that is not what I am after anyway. But you made me curious for sure!
