I suppose it depends on your budget. I’m not sure yet whether it’s BIFL material as I’ve only had it for a month now, but the Timemore C2 has been very pleasantly surprising. It feels well made and grinds evenly. It’s all metal so if cared for should last a long time.
I’m the opposite and I can’t tell if all my friends are OP or if they just don’t like me enough to reach out first.
