1Zpresso X-Ultra

Equipment notes

The X-Ultra is an all-round manual grinder in the X series from the Taiwanese brand 1Zpresso (manufactured in China). It uses a 40mm conical stainless steel burr with a heptagonal (seven-sided) inner burr that increases cutting surfaces. Adjustment is by rotating an external scaled ring (rotation-based), so settings are easy to read and set. The 40mm conical burr keeps the body typical of conical geometry while the seven-sided burr geometry tends to limit fines and emphasize clarity in the filter range. The external rotational stepped adjustment makes setting changes and repetition intuitive, broadly covering filter brewing such as pour-over and AeroPress. A body combining aluminum alloy, polycarbonate, and wood provides everyday durability. It suits filter-centered users moving between pour-over and AeroPress who want a clarity-oriented cup, and those seeking an intuitively adjustable grinder.
