1Zpresso may be the new kids on the block, but they have made big waves in the coffee industry. This group of Taiwanese coffee-loving engineers has taken hand grinders to the next level. Eschewing the traditional trappings of the space, like glass & plastic parts and ceramic burrs, they've built an unrivalled range of robust, incredibly precise manual grinders for all applications. Their grinders all use high-quality steel burrs and aluminium alloy bodies, making them as hardy as they are effective.

About the 1Zpresso K-Pro Manual Coffee Grinder

We like to think of the K-Pro as the luxury vehicle within 1Zpresso's impressive range of already pretty luxurious grinders. It's roomy; it's even easier to use; heck, it even comes with a fancy carry-case and specialised cleaning tool. It houses 1Zpresso's new heptagonal, conical K-Burr which helps drive greater consistency and more clarity in the cup with even the coarsest grinds. Still, the all-singing, all-dancing K-Pro is also very capable of grinding at the espresso, or even Turkish, end of the spectrum. In short, it's a pretty luxurious grinder.

Beyond the specs, consistency, performance and hardiness (as well as the extra accessories), the K-Pro also achieves something that most super-premium grinders don't: it's incredibly easy to set. The 1Zpresso K-Pro uses an external dial for calibration. You do not need to take the lid or ground catch off to set the grind. This feature helped it win the 2018 Red Dot Design Award. With 9 visible number settings and 90 'clicks', each representing ~22 microns, it does not sacrifice precision in the name of ease either.

If you enjoy manual brew methods, like to mix it up, and also dabble in espresso, you can't really pick a better grinder than the 1Zpresso K-Pro. It will definitely give you that leather seat feel while grinding.
