Can I get a decent grinder for under [$50]?

Or pay 200$ and get a Kinu and you have a manual hand grinder that is the equivalent of a Kafatek MC6 - a 2500$ electric grinder. I’m still amazed by the fact that the MC6 was the only electric grinder that i’ve tried that could match my Kinu M47 Classic

Manual Espresso Grinder: Kinu M47 Classic vs 1zpresso J Ultra [No Budget]

I have an M47 (original model, similar to Classic). I got it 7 years ago when it was the only choice at this quality and price. However, it's adjustments aren't really stepless as I find it difficult to impossible to tighten the adjustment lock hard enough to hold the adjustment in place between cli

Are these all the accessories I need for the robot ?

They’re expensive, but I honestly love my kinu M47 classic. Built like a tank and very precise. Side note, I’d recommend getting a couple of spare piston seals. Apparently they last forever but I’ve had trouble and a replacement seal was the answer. Good to have on hand. Edit: added spare piston sea

Is this a good idea?

Doesn't exactly answer your question but if you enjoy the hand-grinding ritual as I do, nothing thus far beats the tactile feel (smoothness), relative speed or build of a Kinu M47 Classic, which you can get with both an espresso and pourover burr (easy to switch) and which is easy to disassemble and

[MOD] The Daily Question Thread

I have had a Kinu M47 Classic for about five years. It is a bit of a faff to get the right setting, but other than that has given me sterling service and a lot of pleasure using it. A few years ago the receiver cup began to fall off in use - it seemed the magnetism had weakened. I ordered another cu

Hi all, my first post! I'm interested in purchasing a 9barista, I have a Sage onetouch and wondered if anyone had any experience with comparing the two.

Glad to help out! I think that getting a better grinder should be your first priority though. It's hard to get a good espresso out of any machine without one. Researching grinders is a whole other journey, but I have and like the Baratza ESP Pro for espresso. It's considered "entry level" (at $300 U

Why do so many overspend on an espresso machine not a grinder?

I have a Kinu Grinder M47 Classic. The tolerances and investments of not adding a motor has made some speculate it can surpass some $1k machines based on their own experience. I’ve not tried these machines so can’t speculate, but some have tried $2k machines and said it did a better job and use it i
