Femobook A5 or A4Z depending on how much clarity you want. Lagom Casa would also be another option
I have the Nano, but opted for the more robust Femobook A5 as my travel grinder. Its more versatile IMhO
Femobook grinders seem to be well liked so far. I just bought an A5 which is "equivalent" to a K-Ultra. So far so good - it takes up a tiny amount of space and the pourover has been good! I'll be testing it with espresso once I get my Argos in a few months.
Also plugging the A5. He is surprisingly critical of the A5 in that review, given that it's pretty much the exact same grinder, just a burr difference. I bought the A5 because I didn't want to hand grind lighter roast espresso, and I wanted something a little brighter for pourover than the J-Plus I was using. A4Z was too pourover specific for me. I really, really like it. Definitely a bit more clarity than the J-Plus on pourover but I don't find it to be too punishing on really funky coffees. The form factor is nice, it's super slim and the battery lasts long enough that there is zero reason that you need to park it by an outlet.
I typically get several weeks out of a charge when doing a single 20g pourover dose and sometimes an extra 18g espresso dose per day. Those are more rare but I'll probably be doing more espresso in a few months when I get my Argos.
I like it, I just don't have many points of comparison. I've gone from a Timemore Chestnut -> 1zpresso J-Max -> A5. It's been pretty easy to dial in. Good flavor, have been on a kick of very funky coffees so I may not have the best comparison of how clear it is vs the J-Max, but it has been at least somewhat noticeable!
Also have the A5, use it for espresso and pourover, like it a lot.
Still very happy with it! No issues at all
I think this is good advice - the Pietro itself is a pain to use but the Femobook may solve essentially all problems. The one caveat I’ll give about the Motto is we have essentially no idea if it will be any good.
