I ordered the Espro travel press because I wanted a quick, quality brew option for those mornings that I’m running late for class. I was excited and hopeful that this would fulfill those needs, but honestly also pretty skeptical as I figured it might turn out to be one of those “too good to be true” cases.

Voici l’évaluation de mon expérience avec l’American Press.

I’ve had a few months to test this bad babe out now, and straight out of the box, I was honestly a bit surprised.

Burr grinders differ from blade grinders by crushing the beans as opposed to slicing and chopping them, resulting in a much more uniform particle size. Because the beans are getting crushed between the burrs with each rotation of the crank arm, most manual burr grinders are a literal labour of love. It can be time consuming and even physically laborious to grind beans by hand, but the ROK Grinder does it faster and easier than any manual grinder I’ve ever used.
