The Zerno Z1 isn’t just a coffee grinder—it’s a modular precision tool built for obsessive enthusiasts. But after a full year on my bar, constant burr swaps, and countless extractions… does it actually live up to the hype? Or is it overkill for most home baristas?

➡️ In this in-depth review, I’ll walk you through my year of hands-on testing with the Zerno Z1, including the original unit and the latest 2025 model. We’ll cover alignment performance, retention, burr swapping, static issues, and—most importantly—who should (and shouldn’t) consider this $2300+ grinder.

📌 What You’ll Learn in This Video:
Who the Zerno Z1 is really for—and who should skip it
How it compares to other high-end grinders like the Mazzer Philos and P64
Burr alignment tests (wipe test, chirp-to-lock), static control, and daily usability
Deep dive into SSP burr configurations (HU, CV2, CV3, MP, Brew, UMV1)
Pros, cons, quirks, updates—and my honest take after a year of use

⚙️ Whether you're chasing perfect clarity or dialing in turbo shots, the Z1 gives you unmatched flexibility—but it’s not for everyone.
