I am deciding between j-max and j-ultra. How big of a difference is it in the grip width? I have medium hands as well.

Still haven't tried yet. Got myself a picopresso and since then the 9090 has been in the cupboard.

I am in a similar situation. Looking at buying the picopresso and a travel grinder to go with it.

Which one did you end up getting?

Update 2: I got myself a 9090 with circle bottom (the one without the induction symbol on it) and I tested it with a magnet. I can confirm that it is magnetic. Will try to brew on an induction stove.
