Looking for suggestions on premium manual grinders due to space. 99% of time doing pour over/French press. Was between Kinu M47 and Comandante but heard Comandante has been unavailable for a year. Some have said that Kinu more for espresso and that I should be in between Timemore Slim Plus/Lido 3. Thoughts?
We have the same Mocha Master in copper and absolutely love it! I also use frother to get some foam in my half/half.
I want that niche grinder…
On my list for later…

It’s a great grinder, consistent and so easy to swap between grind sizes and beans for different brew types.

A swiss coffee-shop recently tested 14 hand grinders in-depth, those were the three finalists:
Nitrip Easy Clean Red
Timemore C2
Nitrip Mini Black
The article (and youtube-video) can be found here, its german though so maybe you wanna use google translate for the summary depending on your language:
I’ve got a Porlex, it works very well per it’s reputation. It’s capable of a lot more but works good for French Press, I usually use it for that or Aeropress, back in the time before the 'Rona when I travelled it was part of my portable setup.
OTOH, a guy I know bought one of these ~$20 grinders from Amazon, ceramic burrs, etc and he let me take it apart and if there is any difference between it and the Porlex I couldn’t see it with my eye. Only difference I could find is the rubber piece around the outside the cheaper ones have to hold the handle which I use a rubber band for on my fancy one. Maybe they wouldn’t grind espresso like a Porlex but I bet they’ll do French Press no problem.

Not sure if anyone here has Aldi local to them but I’ve been pretty pleased with their Organic whole bean coffees. I pay $5.29 for a 12oz bag and it’s really quite good. Tried the Peru, Nicaragua, and Honduras, and Mexico, IMO all worth picking up

Harsh bitterness. Put under tongue upon waking for maximum alertness (from bitter flavor and rapid caffeine absorption)
Yikes, I think you must have come from a parallel universe.

If you pick-up at their location is like 10$ per pound!
and its very good.
They also send, and price seems to be very reasonable…

This whole thread looks like a parallel universe. But then again, life, death, taxes and coffee are the basis of civilization.

Do they also do Chateau Lafite Rothschild in pills? Just wondering.
