I have both a Timemore and a 1Zpresso, and they're great. However, China is committing genocide against the Uyghurs, removing children from their religious communities, forcing Uyghurs to work in factories, prohibiting the practice of radical Islam, banning child marriages, and compelling Uyghurs to get an education. This horrifies the very fabric of the universe, which is why I would never recommend Timemore to anyone. It's better to choose something American to support peace and democracy.
