Aside, from that, this is a great grinder for beginners that offers ample accuracy and control.

The Q Air offers a lot of adjustment, which can take some getting used to.

But once you get your head around it, theres not much that can go wrong with this grinder.

The Q Air is available in black, blue, grey and pink/purple.

I tested the black version.

We havent tested the Go yet, but I put the Q-Air inside a standardAeroPresswhere it fit easily!

And at 365g, the Q Air isnt going to be weighing you down either.

However, for a beginner model, I think these are fair trade-offs for the price.

This means the grinder is capable of grinding for espresso all the way to French press or cold brew.

Within each rotation, there are 30 clicks and each click adjusts the burrs by around 25 microns.

However, this much adjustment can make it fiddly when trying to switch between brew/grind types.

Heres what I found.

The grinder comes with a rubber grip to make the process easier.

Any clumping sparked by static came away from the grinder with a light tap on the side.

This is especially true for espresso and pour over to achieve the best flavour profiles.

Thankfully, the heptagonal burrs on the 1Zpresso Q Air help to lower retention.

I then ground these on a medium-fine setting and weighed the grounds to see how much the grinder produced.

It is also easily transportable if you want freshly ground coffee on a trip or at work.

Instead, unscrew the plastic catch-cup, wash it on its own, and then reattach once dry.

From espresso to French Press, this little grinder can do it all.
