They show the zp6 on their website... Oops, now it says out of stock.
I went with the jmax because it looked like a great price, $140 a month or so ago.
I am very happy with it but just wonder if there is a cheap way to get a better tasting cup.. I currently use a V60 and am waiting for some abaca filter paper to come. I have simple tastes (untrained palate) and don't want to become obsessed (as per audio) but want my best possible way to go. Was looking at cube or flat last night but really was just killing time.
Would I need to drop $800-160 00pm a grinder to taste a good improvement (and which one too). I guess I just want to be able to either start saving or just work on what I have and move on.

Please do a review. I have the Sweet burrs and newer machined burrs. I am curious how those are. I might buy the 80mm HU SSP ones too.

For V60 you could do the Timemore 078 kickstarter now for $500

That is definitely something that I will consider. To get back on track :
Does the zp6 do better pour over (taste wise) than the jmax?

Yes, the ZP6 will be clearer. But with less body. Probably less bitterness too

Thanks, I do like body and need to learn more of what my desires are. I think that I will stick with what I have until a major upgrade. At this point it feels at least something like a Df64 or an Ode with a sweet cast burr.

Just put a little something up here: 80mm 'Boyt Super' Ditting burr. I'd recommend reading the whole thing and reading the other review I link. The casts and the Boyts are both great burr sets. Apologies if this is off topic for the rest of the thread.

Apparently, these are confirmed to be coming back in stock this week.


Any updated thoughts on these? I feel like Lance overhyped these

Still great here! I had Timemore 078S, decided it is not worth the upgrade if you have ZP6 and sold it.

Stock only lasted 20 or so minutes. I'm glad I managed to snag one.
