Founded in 2012, Shanghai Taimo specializes in a variety of coffee utensils, and its manual grinder G1 won the German Red Dot Design Award in 2017, so it has also gained a certain amount of attention in the industry. Tamo's grinders are manual, and the price ranges from 150-1000 yuan. The quality of Tamo's grinder below 200 yuan is average, and the main selling point is the retro shape, which is slightly inferior to the grinding quality of the Hario manual grinder at the same price, and it is more recommended to buy high-end products.
The G1 grinder has fine workmanship and double-bearing stainless steel center shaft positioning, which is smooth to grind, comfortable and labor-saving. The uniformity and subdivision rate of the coffee ground ground ground out of G1 are significantly better than those of other grinders below 300 yuan, and the thickness can also be adjusted according to different beans and brewing methods, which is the most brilliant manual grinder in domestic brands. The G1S is a hand-cranked grinder that changes the texture of the cone knife on the basis of G1, which is more suitable for the Italian style, and can also grind a single product, but there is more fine powder.
The new NANO manual grinder stands out for its portability, with a non-slip texture design and a retractable handle, making it small and sturdy, only the size of a palm. Its CNC taper steel grinding core is also very durable, with a smooth grinding feel and less jamming; The grinding uniformity is also good, which is suitable for grinding single coffee beans.
The manual grinder is ideal as an entry-level product, offering a good grinding quality at the same time as a price-performance ratio, without worrying about the cutterhead heating up. Its obvious disadvantage is that the grinding efficiency is low, if the coffee for 1-2 people is still good to deal with, if it exceeds this amount, it is still recommended to buy an electric grinder.
