Introduction

This video is a live stream comparing two hand grinders, the 1Zpresso ZP6 and the Kplus, both focused on filter coffee brewing. The hosts perform a blind taste test after brewing coffee using each grinder with identical methods and water. They also briefly compare the grinders' performance to an EK43 grinder.

Key Takeaways

• 1Zpresso ZP6 Performance: The ZP6 produced a cleaner, more balanced, and nuanced cup of coffee with notes of honey and stone fruit, differing significantly from the Kplus.
• Kplus Performance: The Kplus yielded a brighter, more acidic, and citrus-forward cup.
• Grind Time Comparison: Both grinders took approximately the same amount of time to grind 13 grams of coffee (around 20 seconds).
• Blind Taste Test Results: The taster preferred the ZP6 for its cleaner taste and balanced flavor profile over the Kplus, which exhibited some astringency.
• EK43 Comparison: Though not a direct comparison, the taste of the coffee made with the ZP6 was preferred to the coffee produced using the EK43, potentially due to a difference in water used. The EK43 brew was described as "clean and pleasant" but less exciting and less complex.
