Just dropped the idea of getting the Mazzer Omega hand grinder when I saw a Helor 106 with Mazzer 71mm conical burrs. Managed to score one near new (1kg through it, according to the owner) from Canada. It will take a couple of weeks to get to Australia but I’ll let you know what I think once it’s here and I’ve had a play.

I still think the Mazzer Omega is the bees knees, just couldn’t help myself in regard to the trying the Helor.
I don’t have a C40 or JX but i can compare the Helor to the Kinu M47 Classic. What may be of interest also (for me at least) is comparing back to back shot with the 63mm Mazzers in the Niche, the 71mm Mazzers in the Helor and the 83mm Mazzers in the Malwani Livi.
I’ll bet dollars to donuts I won’t be able to tell the difference 🙃 - any takers?
(To be clear, I’m talking US dollars and French donuts)
