1Zpresso – No matter how expensive your coffee machine is, it is still a shortcoming if your coffee is not ground “fresh” before brewing. The right grinding technique is the key to unlocking the essence and aroma of coffee beans. That’s why, in a previous article, 3C mentioned that you definitely need a grinder instead of using pre-ground coffee sold in supermarkets. A good coffee grinder may not be cheap, but it will surely elevate your coffee experience to a new level.
The 1Zpresso grinder is a manual coffee grinder produced by a Taiwanese company known for its quality and innovation in coffee grinding. This product line has long been popular in the Asian market and is increasingly recognized by the global community. Today, let’s explore this grinder together. What makes it special? Why is it considered the best grinder in the world at this moment?
Compact – Convenient – No Electricity Needed, Portable Anywhere
Weighing around 700g – 850g, the 1Zpresso grinders are ideal tools to take with you on trips. Their design makes them easy to hold. The grinder doesn’t require electricity, so you can use it in your kitchen or while traveling. 1Zpresso is very versatile and can grind coffee for all brewing styles, including espresso.
Gear Grinder Design for Uniform and Consistent Results
All 1Zpresso products feature a gear grinder design. The grinding core is crafted as a single unit with the grinder shaft, which minimizes wobbling and ensures the most uniform grind. This core is made from durable stainless steel.
You can easily adjust the grinder to set your desired grind coarseness. Different models have various ways to adjust the grind size; some have an adjustment ring at the bottom where the coffee comes out, while others have it at the top where you load the coffee. The adjustment rings are clearly marked with levels and numbers, making it easy to change the grind size.
The JX-Pro model offers the most options for adjusting grind coarseness, with as many as 40 grind settings available. This versatility makes it suitable for both espresso and French press brewing methods, eliminating the need for multiple grinders for different coffee types.
Multiple Product Lines to Suit Different Needs
1Zpresso currently categorizes its grinders into three main product lines: Q, J, and K series. Created by mechanical engineers, the series are designed for specific purposes rather than commercial classification. Each series has its own advantages and disadvantages and is tailored for different usage requirements.
- Q Series – Compact, portable, and perfect for Aeropress.
- J Series – High capacity for double-shot espresso or pour-over coffee.
- K Series – Easily set your ideal grind for various brewing methods.
If you need a grinder for simple and convenient coffee brewing while ensuring quality, the Q2 is a great choice—it’s feature-rich, compact, and very affordable.
If you’re looking for a professional espresso grinder with extensive customization capabilities, the JX Pro will serve you well. Its 200 click settings and 48mm burr can handle any espresso machine, from manual to commercial.
For those who enjoy espresso in the morning and pour-over in the afternoon, the K series (K Pro, K Plus) is the perfect option.

Easy to Adjust, Smooth Operation, Quick Grinding Time
Grinding your coffee with the 1Zpresso manual grinder doesn’t take much time. Each model has a specific grinding time ranging from about 18 to 40 seconds. The JX-Pro model is the fastest, outperforming most existing manual gear grinders.
Stylish Design, Easy Assembly and Cleaning
When it comes to appearance, the 1Zpresso grinders have a sleek design. All products are made from aluminum alloy and feature an ergonomic structure. Overall, they look classy and premium, enhanced by a wooden ring at the end of the handle for a contemporary aesthetic. This ring is magnetic, allowing you to remove it for easier travel.
The 1Zpresso grinder can be easily disassembled by hand, requiring no special tools. Here’s the best way to clean the grinder: after disassembling it, use a dry brush to sweep away any debris. Avoid using water as it may clog parts. Instead, use a damp cloth to remove accumulated oils, ensuring that all parts are completely dry before reassembling.
These are the five reasons you should own a 1Zpresso grinder. Is that enough to convince you? The quality of your coffee greatly depends on the grinding process. That’s why we should definitely invest in a high-quality grinder. Check out more products from 3C Roastery – Specialty here.
