Thanks for watching 🙏If you appreciate these long comparisons consider leaving a like on the way out or sharing with a friend! Thanks fam!

At that price point, you should separate out the best grinder for espresso.

For under $100.00, I had a Krupps burr grinder. I has a flat burr grinder all the settings you would need and with the hopper being down in the machine it is compact enough to take in and out of a cupboard after use. I used it constantly for 12 years before the motor finally gave up the ghost, but that machine was the longest lasting appliance I've ever owned.

I have the Encore and then bought the JX pro a few months after, the difference in grind quality is night and day! I think it's important to mention though that Baratza really stands behind their products, and encourages you to diagnose and repair them yourself which is a really great and eco friendly business practice. Another thing is that the X-pro is mainly geared for filter brewing where the JX-pro has the fine adjustment to do both filter and espresso. Great summary of everything, I wish this video was out when I was searching for my first grinder! Very helpful for beginners.

I've had the breville for a few years now, paired with the flair neo. Honestly, I make a better cup than most coffee shops. Excited to when I have some money to upgrade, but for now, this setup has been amazing!

Well--finding a new video from Kyle is an unexpected pleasure this afternoon!
I love seeing the SD40 in this video. I just got that as I began entering into coffee a month ago, and it's been a real pleasure. I'm buying a flair 58 next month to go with it. Thank you for all of your advice and content as I get more into coffee!

[PhillipLangenkamp]

Awesome in-depth overview!

Really appreciate the thoroughness on the sort of "entry level" high quality grinder. Sure, you can buy cheaper if you have to, but I feel like this level is really where many enthusiasts will want to start (even if it requires some savings to do so).

After being absorbed in coffee grinder content the past month or so and watching way more videos than I'll ever need, this was some awesome and quality content!

Note with the IZPRESSO JX burr size: I own both the Breville SGP and JX, and I can confirm their burrs are the exact same size. The JX burr is quoted from the outer burr whereas most grinders are quoted from inner burr diameter. While still large for a hand grinder, the delta between the two IZPRESSO grinders in this comparison isn't as big as the 48mm quoted size would lead you to believe.

Looking hard at the Varia VS3 and was waiting for exactly this review. Thanks Kyle, lots to consider!

[freezingsunbreaka]

I love that the Baratza Sette 30, for minimal cost, can have the 270 adjustment ring added, making it have the same grinding functionality, minus all the other stuff. Not bad for a tiny grinder :)!!!

[Bandle]

I've owned the Breville for a couple of years now and despite its flaws, having a machine that can actually do everything from French press to espresso on a budget is very handy. Definitely punches above its weight in my opinion.

[michca]

I purchased my current grinder for convenience after getting tired of using a cheap, top selling hand grinder from amazon, but I have found that it retains up to 2 grams of coffee, even after spanking it, and then sheds grounds everywhere when I take out the grinds cannister, resulting in non-stop cleanup. I was originally looking at the Virtuoso to replace it, but after watching your reviews I have changed my mind. I am thinking of getting the JX Pro because it sounds like a perfect fit and it looks way more ergonomic than my prior hand grinder. I have to travel a lot for work, so its portability is an added bonus!! Thank you so much for these reviews, because I would never had heard about it otherwise. Cheers!

[AlejandroPDX]

Great video. I still love watching your comparisons and reviews despite not being in the market for a new grinder at the moment. Currently with a niche and 1z k max

[bballwalli]

Recently came across your videos as I am just getting into espresso at home and grabbed a bambino plus. Appreciate your videos as they are very informative!

[johnmyers]

I have the Sette and found what you found: better for espresso since even at coarse settings, the amount of fines muddies filter cups. Since I mainly drink filter, I recently picked up a refurbished (by Fellow) Ode and the Gen2 burrs for less than the Gen1 Ode. A significant boost in cup quality.

[matthagge]

Nice to see the Varia getting more traction. Mine arrived this week and it's been great so far. The build quality is absolutely top notch, and it fits in really well with my Gaggia.

[PatrickSeeryCincy]

This was a great comparison video for the price point. Thank you for making it

[dearsergiO]

This was awesome, thank you Kyle!!! I ordered the VS3 a few days ago from 8oz, should be here next week! I actually got it for the occasional espresso to pair with my Ode-SSP for V60.

[elliotsavoie]

I have a J-Max and never wanting to buy another grinder because I love it so much 🤠 BUT I can never get enough of these grinder comparisons, so thanks for surprising us with this and putting in the hard work!

[bangzoom]

Been using the Ode Gen 2 for 6 weeks now. Darker (oilier beans).need help down the hopper. 25g + the motor occasionally stops when it shouldn't. Motor sounds and feels like it's underpowered but once finished, grind is consistent. Still trying to evaluate...🤔. Very informative video...nice. Thank you.👍
