Pros and cons
Pros
- It is slim enough to fit inside an AeroPress and weighs under 500 g.
- Reviewers call it good value, with a solid aluminum body.
- It comes apart without tools and needs no recalibration after.
- Home Coffee Expert says it grinds a pour-over dose in about 30 seconds.
Cons
- Capacity is small: 1Zpresso lists 15 to 20 g.
- Espresso is possible but slow, about 2 minutes per dose per Home Coffee Expert.
- New burrs make fines until they are seasoned over a month or two.
- The adjustment is internal under the burr, not on an outside ring.
What owners report
- Season it first. Reviewers say new burrs make extra fines. Grinding cheap beans or rice for a while helps, and it eases over one to two months.
- Small capacity. Capacity is the most common complaint. It suits one person per dose, and Home Coffee Expert fit about 24 g of lighter roast.
- Better than the C3 outside espresso. Home Coffee Expert says the Q2 beats the Timemore C3 for everything except espresso, with better build and balance.
What experts measured
- Home Coffee Expert says it lost around 0.2 g of grounds each time while the burrs were new.
- Honest Coffee Guide lists 25 microns per click, 90 settings and an internal dial.
Alternatives
Timemore C3S
Similar size and travel focus, with a small capacity and an internal dial.
