Introduction

This video compares four hand coffee grinders: the 1Zpresso JX-Pro, Orca Ghost Burr, Ode Gen2, and the Pietro "Pro". A barista, Sal, blind-tests the grinders based on the resulting coffee's taste, not solely on the grinder's qualities. The goal is to determine which grinder produces the most preferable coffee for Sal's palate.

Key Takeaways

• Round 1: The 1Zpresso JX-Pro was preferred over the Orca Ghost Burr for its resulting coffee taste.
• Round 2: The Pietro "Pro" was preferred over the Ode Gen2 based on coffee taste.
• Final Round (Anaerobic Coffee): The 1Zpresso JX-Pro was preferred for its resulting brew using anaerobic coffee.
• Final Round (Washed Coffee): The Pietro "Pro" was ultimately preferred for its resulting brew of washed coffee. The host notes the Pietro "Pro"'s higher price point (around $475) compared to the 1Zpresso JX-Pro (around $200).
• Overall: While the Pietro "Pro" won the final comparison for washed coffee and was deemed the "best" hand grinder by Sal, the significantly lower price of the 1Zpresso JX-Pro makes it a strong contender depending on individual budget and preferences.
