How does this compare to the Kingrinder K6 and 1Zpresso ZP6? Also does anyone know is the MHW3Bomber R3?

Hi, thank you for your reviews on S3 and C3S pro. May i ask which one would you recommend more? Because over here in Indonesia the price doesnt differ a lot (less than $30 differences). I was aiming for the K6 but due to the rust issue and the price (double the C3Spro) now looking at C3S pro or S3 ^^, thank you

Hi there if you are not looking to make espresso and if price is not an issue definitely the S3. As the flavor clarity is clearer.

Great and informative review! I'm strongly considering this as i want to up my coffee game from a ceramic burr hand grinder. I've also looked at the 1zpresso k ultra. Would you consider this as good as the 1zpresso K ultra? I'm only going to use it for pourover, French press and aeropress, so the nonexistent espresso grind setting is not really important to me. Its quite a lot cheaper than the k ultra, which is why i have it my sight 🙂

Hi there if that's the case yeah definitely recommend the s3 over the k ultra just because of the price. The k ultra is in a different league, it's together with the commandante c40 mk4 and so on.

@@hisbrewcoffee thanks for the answer 🙂 When you say the k ultra and the C40 is in a different league, would you say that they are much better than the S3 (for pourover) or do they only produce marginally better coffee? 🙂 For reference the S3 is 165 usd and the k ultra is 270 usd where I live

@BlackwingDK they are different league in its price and taste profile too. But it also depends on how train your palate is towards coffee. If you are just a beginner you probably won't be able to tell the differences between both. But if you've got a good palate or been tasting coffee a long time then yes you'll be able to tell the differences

@@hisbrewcoffee BTW are you by any chance familiar with the 1zpresso x ultra? It's roughly the same price as the S3

The easiest solution to grinding even finer is to add a super thin shim between the inner conical burr and the burr shaft coupler. Most conical grinders not grinding fine enough are solved this way. Edit: I’m holding my S3 right now and it has enough clearance to add a small washer. Just make sure it’s food safe. It still has more room to get a bit closer. If you were to use a conventional washer, then disregard the dial settings and just tighten until the locking nut doesn’t turn anymore

Thank you for the very detailed review. So is the burr of the S3 touching each other slightly at a level of 0-0.8? Is that normal? I just bought an S3 recently and I heard a sound similar to your clip at minute 7:29 so I'm a bit confused.

For normal hand grinders at 0 point it should touch each other until the crank handle cannot be move. But this is still movable.

@@hisbrewcoffee Thanks for replying. I use it for pourover and colddrip so probably not a problem :D

@WINTFOX yeah as long as not for espresso it's all good.

How is it that it struggles with espresso despite having 5 micron increments?

The lowest setting or 'zero' is not fine enough to grind for most coffee beans for espresso setting.

Hmm that’s baffling. Why even make a manual grinder with that fine of an increment without having it dial low enough for espresso lol

It has 15 micron settings and the 0 setting on mine choked a sage touch. There's some inconsistencies in the models in the market

Great video! posting to give you some engagement. cheers ;)
