Comandante weight with polymer grounds cup?

August 3rd, 2022, 1:20 am

Would a Comandante MK4 owner out there be so nice and weigh it with just the new polymer grounds cup? Most online stores list it as 800g but my guess is the is the total package weight. This is for backing/travel so the weight is important to me.

I'm seeing 581g with the clear cup.

Thanks a lot! That was about what I was hoping for. It is about a third of my Kinu.

They will release a smaller travel version called Trailmaster made with more plastic, meant for hiking and such. It even floats in water.

Other lightweight alternatives are 1zpresso Q2 heptagonal or X-Pro, with similar burrsets.

Thank you for the info. I checked it out the Trailmaster on YouTube and does have my attention. I'll just want untill it becomes available.

If you're really looking for a light hand grinder, the OE Fixie is only 350 grams or 330 if you leave the tin of shims home.

The Q2 hepta just became available outside of China, at least on the English-language 1Zpresso site.

Initial reports and photos indicate that the burr and some internals are slightly different in the 2022 hepta than in the previous, China-only version.

(Also available at $99 on Amazon US)

Interesting. Do you have links to the reports/photos?
