However much my French press makes. Usually fills a 32oz thermos I think? Typically consumed over 4-6 hour work day. Sometimes significantly less time.
After you've had some time to get used to it, could you give us another update and tell us how you like it?
I've been eyeballing hand grinders lately. I want something that is physically easy to turn (I work with my hands a lot), able to produce a decent amount, and capable of producing espresso grade grinds for my mocha pot (though I will be using it for my aeropress mostly).
I received the 1Z Q Air today so here are some comments:
The steel inside mechanisms are very attractive to fine particles due to statics, and the manual says it cannot be washed. So I had to use a rocket blower to clean it up afterwards, but given the trouble I probably won't cleaning it a lot -- maybe once a week. Next time I will try to spray some water on the coffee beans to reduce static. https://imgur.com/wkk5fAA
The upper chamber hold exactly 15g of my coffee beans -- these are ordinary sized beans around 1cm wide. So maybe I'll use the scale less if I wanted to cook exactly one serving. But I can foresee this become a bit tedious if more servings for 2-3 people are needed. The lower chamber is about 2/3 full after grinding the 15 grams of coffee.
It is very compact compared to my old grinder. Construction of the unit is solid. Cranking the handle is very smooth. The (online) manual is very detailed on instructions of how to adjust the granularity. The adjust button is stepped and has dials on the side so one can be very informed about current settings. https://imgur.com/6I68kAq
Acidity might have its place in an Americano or dairy drink, where it's diluted down. But in an espresso shot, or worse yet, a ristretto? Hard pass. If I want to put something in my mouth that shrivels my intestines and makes my butthole pucker up, I might as well munch on a lemon. Fully on board with @CodingCarpenter here.
Dunno mate. There are worse things you could be doing. "searching for confirmation that this isn't too uncommon" sounds like a recipe for a boring life. If you're worried about your health (but your not, you said so) ask your doctor as situations vary.
Yeah that's a very editorialized version and I hate that it's the top comment.
Obviously the coffee isn't going to be 100x better or more unique than a normal espresso. The point of the video was not to "discover" this, and if that's all you got out of it, you missed the point.
