The Timemore C2 original is comparably priced to some of the Sozen at around $55. There are other C2 with folding handles that are a bit more money. It is perfectly acceptable for most coffee other than espresso or ultra fine Turkish. For about $80 the Timemore C3 and at $100 the Timemore C3S noticeable improvements. At around $120 you get into the 1Zpresso brand grinders which are also good.
The Timemore C2 is a good travel size grinder.
Is the adjustability issue of the Sozen that it requires tools? I'm a tradesperson so I always have wrenches and other tools on me and use them often. I'll also only need to adjust it once.
Is the adjustability problem that it simply doesn't work well with most grind settings?
My understanding is that it cannot be adjusted to grind above super fine and fine (basically Turkish and espresso) levels. Is there some reason that you prefer this over the newer more modern choices?
