Daddy Got Coffee — a YouTube channel with nearly 30K views on this video alone — admits to getting the Kinu M47 Classic wrong. He initially dismissed it as espresso-only, unsuitable for pour over. After thorough testing, he realized he was completely mistaken.
The M47 Classic with its standard 47mm steel burrs actually produces excellent pour over results — the earlier issue was simply not finding the right setting. The stepless Morse cone allows infinite adjustments, but requires time to dial in the 'sweet spot' for each coffee and brew method.
The verdict: the Kinu M47 Classic is the most versatile hand grinder in its price range — excelling at both espresso and pour over. German-engineered durability, consistent grind, minimal fines. The video also compares against Comandante and 1Zpresso — M47 Classic wins on build quality and long-term durability.
