Hello all, first time poster!

I'm going to purchase my first hand grinder and would like some advice on what to consider.

I've looked at lots of reviews, YouTube videos etc. but can't make my mind up.

The grinder will be used with a Moka Pot, French Press and Aeropress for generally only one cup at a time. Would prefer a reasonably smaller model for camping, hiking etc.

I've narrowed it down to:

Aergrind
Timemore Slim (and Plus)
1Zpresso Q2

Are their any discernable differences in the models listed for the methods I intend to use them for? Should I consider anything else?

Thanks!

Yes. I much preferred Timemore's grinders over Aergrind. Their smallest model is the Nano, pretty neat. No experience with Q2.

Welcome! You should also consider Orphan Espresso's Fixie. It might be the lightest of all of these, which I'm sure you'd appreciate for camping.
