Porlex Mini Stainless Steel Coffee Grinder vs OE Lido 3 Manual Coffee Grinder

I could go on and on about this. For the price, it doesn’t get any better than this. Inverted FTW, by the way.

Manual grinders are your best bang for your buck: lido ET or 1zpresso jx pro or even a Kinu Simplicity.

3) the grind is very uneven. the burr is loose, not fixed, and chunks of beans get stuck here and there. i was really really surprised about this. i see that other people rigged cardboard/glue solutions, but that seems almost insulting for a grinder of this price & of this nice stainless build

Moving down, we've got this silicone cap and this cap. Pretty straightforward. Take this off and then you'll add your coffee beans directly through th...

This all comes with one big, important caveat, however. While I appreciate the ceramic burrs, and while it may be true that they stay sharp longer than stainless steel, as I've heard more than once, they do not do as good of a job as the steel burrs on my Zassenhaus. For the same grind setting on both, I tend to get many more disappointing large fragments of coffee beans with the Porlex, and yet the Aeropress brew I make still isn't as clean as is made with the Zassenhaus. Overall, the actual taste of the coffee made with the Zassenhaus is noticeably better (but by a small amount, to be clear): sweeter and more prominent in characteristic flavor notes

I had brewed it with my Encore last year and it was pretty decent at best, but I purchased a Lido ET back in August of last year and I can definitely say it has way more clarity now!. I'm using a 1:18 ratio and it genuinely tastes like jasmine and melon juice! Recently, I've departed from the 1:15 - 1:16 ratios I had always used and it really accentuates the flavor profile.

After all, I'd rather have inconsistent grinds from good coffee brewed to my standards than either no coffee or (perhaps worse) awful coffee!

It's great for traveling, but you don't need it to travel. so leave a comment down below with what you like about this: Do you have it? uh, yourself? ...
