Fancied a cup of filter so borrowed my neighbour’s timemore c2 rather than faffing about trying to get the super jolly set for filter. Honestly blown away by how much better it is than my 10+ year old Hario slim (admittedly attaching my drill probably accelerated its demise). Grinds really quickly, with a very satisfying action, and produces great grounds with very few fines.
Also reminds me of how nice a good cup of filter is (especially when you’re not ruining it with 50% fines in your grounds).
Considering how cheaply you can get a timemore c2 off AliExpress (£45 IIRC), is there anything else to consider in the same price region, or anything significant to be gained from getting a 1zpresso or other more expensive grinder? Wouldn’t be for espresso, just taking with us when travelling for making filter etc.
