This coffee burr is weird—seriously weird. The Kinu Pour Over Burr behaves unlike any other burr I’ve tested, and after going deep down the rabbit hole, I finally figured out why. Is it the best hand grinder upgrade for pour-over? Or just another confusing coffee gadget?
➡️ In this video, I test the Kinu M47 Rebel with the Pour Over Burr, compare it to other top-tier grinders like the 1Zpresso ZP6 & Comandante C40, and break down why this burr is so bizarre—but also incredible.
📌 What You’ll Learn in This Video:
- How the Kinu Pour Over Burr changes flavor clarity & body
- Why it behaves so differently from other burrs
- Dialing in tips for the best results (coarse vs fine grinding)
- Is this the best burr for hand grinders—or just overhyped?
🔥 Is the Kinu Pour Over Burr a game-changer or just confusing? Watch now to find out!

The Zerno Z1 isn’t just a coffee grinder—it’s a modular precision tool built for obsessive enthusiasts. But after a full year on my bar, constant burr swaps, and countless extractions… does it actually live up to the hype? Or is it overkill for most home baristas?
➡️ In this in-depth review, I’ll walk you through my year of hands-on testing with the Zerno Z1, including the original unit and the latest 2025 model. We’ll cover alignment performance, retention, burr swapping, static issues, and—most importantly—who should (and shouldn’t) consider this $2300+ grinder.
📌 What You’ll Learn in This Video:
- Who the Zerno Z1 is really for—and who should skip it
- How it compares to other high-end grinders like the Mazzer Philos and P64
- Burr alignment tests (wipe test, chirp-to-lock), static control, and daily usability
- Deep dive into SSP burr configurations (HU, CV2, CV3, MP, Brew, UMV1)
- Pros, cons, quirks, updates—and my honest take after a year of use
⚙️ Whether youre chasing perfect clarity or dialing in turbo shots, the Z1 gives you unmatched flexibility—but it’s not for everyone.
