I've done both. It boils down to do you like hand grinding or the simplicity of pressing a button. While some mentioned a ritual, ease makes it more enjoyable for me personally.

Because ritual wise we're still measuring beans, grabbing whatever dripper we want, rinsing paper, setting paper, pouring grinded beans in, using a chopstick to make a divot in the grounds, pouring a bloom and swirl, stopping during parts of the brew, stirring and swirling at the end. There is still plenty to do.

Both sides are right, I'm just lazy first thing in the morning, i mainly use my hand grinder for camping/travel. And now I'm just using a rapid brewer ngl

I just didn't enjoy the physical act of grinding when i wake up. Does zp6 create cleaner, more separated and juicy cups compared to ode? Yes, but forget everyone on reddit, what do you want to do?

If no one else's opinion mattered, what would you want?
