Grinder Particle Distribution

- I think this episode is one of the most awaited topics on this channel. We finally get the chance to check the particle distribution of common grinders. I only managed to test the grinders that I currently own and I look forward to testing more grinders in the future.
In this experiment we tested the following grinder models:
1. @kingrinder6935Kingrinder K6
2. 1zPresso Q Air
3. Comandante x25 Trailmaster
4. Comandante C40 mk4
5. 1zPresso ZP6
Another takeaway for me was Q Air is a good option for travel with comparable particle distribution.
K6 is a good option for bang for buck. Great combo of versatility and workflow at a reasonable price.
C40 and ZP6 is for those who wants the best output and taste who is willing to pay a premium.
Yes actually, i am a fan of the q air! In fact the Q2 was my very first filter grinder but its not with me anymore. So i got the q air and it still performs great!
Grabe ‘yung production! 🫶🏼 Quality information indeed! Looking forward sa cuping session comparison ng each grinder 💪🏽
Thank you!
@@darylbuenocoffee if ever master, sana may comparison din sa slowfed process
@@rozen.custodio yes meron soon upcoming episodes
@@darylbuenocoffee ‘Yon! Let’s go!
It’s surprising to see the different result between c40 vs x25. I think they have the same burr size and design
Yes I was suprised too! While they have exactly the same burr sets they have very different chamber size which means the feeding of coffee beans would differ in a significant manner. Suddenly I realized why they have exactly the same chamber size for the c60 - it was the feeding of the beans.
Master, dapat i ti- nare (tare) mo nalang yung bottom container para ma measure mo ng mas consistently among everything, pero still a great comparison! Really shows an interesting results! Im always mesmerized by the quality that goes in to your vids, keep brewing master!
Thank you, im not sure why i didnt do this but there was a reason why i had to remove the microfines from the bottom container instead of simply measuring it out it
@@darylbuenocoffee in that case then absolutely! Its your way, pero in that regards may i know why?
@@sheanakale9502 I dont really know maybe Im simply trying to minimize points of error. The way I did it was I had to reset everything, everytime, clean out screens, clean out every container and I cant simply tare out the bottom container bec I had to have another set of scale on stand by simply waiting for the weight of the microfines and i didnt see this practical in the experiment. It would be another variable I need to defend to the viewers.
Nice video can u do the same test with and without the slow feeding technique I'm interested about the results 😅
Yes I did, in the coming videos. It is scheduled in the next videos. :) Im trying to spcae them out so the channel isnt grinder centric
@darylbueno we still waiting 🥲
@@ayman8603 coming tomorrow, but i actually decided to do it grinder per grinder so it doesnt take too long. First one is for the Kingrinder K6
Hello, which video is the second part of this comparison? Or it is not on the channel yet?
Its not on the channel yet :) i have yet to do it so stay tuned :)
Are you planning on grinding finer to see how far you can push them before the fines start to spike up? Specifically the c40 and zp6
This i havent thought of yet, you see i am engaged in something right now and doing this is going to be a lot of work hahahaha!!! I might need to mentally prepare myself for this hahahah!
Thank for you the very informative video sir! I also just recently got my ZP6. May I ask what grind setting range do you use for v60? Did you recalibrate your 0 to grinder lock or just used the factory calibration?
My factory calibration was at -6 so i recalibrated to zero just because i have OCD hahaha! In the next coming videos i made a nice episode about cleaning and recalibrating your zp6 :)
@@darylbuenocoffee hahaha same! I think my factory calibration was at -4 to -5 so iniwan ko nalang as is. Great! Would love to see your ZP6 tips since there aren’t a lot of brewing videos about it actually… Maybe you can give grind setting suggestions there? Thanks for the reply! :)
@@emil9131 of course! No problem. Well, right now im still trying to figure out the best way way to use you ZP6. So i'll be making that video soon too!
You should calibrate your zp6 to zero. When you clean your zp6 you might need to dial again.
My grind settings is around 4.5-6 depending on the beans. If you calibrate properly your zp6 number 4 is around 600 microns according to the grind chart from honest coffee guide. This is what i use. Hope this helps
@@pinoyxbox yes i did, before using it - i made sure to calibrate it to zero to get a solid base for my experiments.
did you spray water on the beans sir? before grinding?
No i didnt sir
@@darylbuenocoffee oh i see sir, it was very intriguing who's the culprit of the microfines 😅 all not falls on the incident, not the speed of grind, not the size of burr it were all in conflict 😅 maybe on the burr blade design or the number of spikes maybe 😁 nice video sir, now i cannot sleep 😂hahaha
@@AnjoMendieta-ot4dr hahahah! they are actually in the burr deisgn and the chamber design. Im not a product designer nor an industrial designer but the design of the burrs matter a lot in producing these profiles. This is the reason why some grinder makers release a filter focused burr or an espresso focused burr because the designs make all the difference in how they interact with the beans.
This is not the most awaited episode, not for me 😀. I'm still waiting for the grind size comparison chart that you mentioned in the video 😀
Hahaha im sorry, im still not 100% with the chart.
Still very informative. Waiting for the grind size comparison
@@ericbaluya361 hahaha!! Yes i will release it soon
I think a micron setting comparison is not accurate. You should try dialling in to a certain timed pour over and see how that impacts your results. For example you may have to go much coarser on the k6 to match the ZP6 time or vice versa
Actually this will be a more biased basis if you ask me. The findings of this whole experiment actually shows you how a grinder performs and its up to you now how to use it depending on its strengths and weaknesses. For example the ZP6 is better when you use it with finer settings bec of its ability to produce consistent boulders.
It will be completely biased if I do the timing pour over test exactly for the reason that each grinder has a different particle distribution which gives them their unique profiles.
X25 just doesn't make sense, 0.7g were retained, maybe you just cleaned it and the fines stuck to the grinder.
Actually i didnt clean the insides of the x25 just the catch cup and i blew the burr area
