KINGrinder K6 Straight Handle Manual Coffee Grinder with 200 Adjustable Grinding Levels for Aeropress, French Press, Drip, Espresso, 30-35g Capacity

The grinder is often touted as the most important bit of kit when making coffee. I use the Kingrinder to make espresso using the robot and it is more than sufficient. Hand grinding is slower than machine but I can weigh, grind and tamp in the time it takes my kettle to boil. It has a good solid build quality and provides consistent results. To get similar from an automatic grinder I'd need to spend more than four times the price. The size is perfect for espresso shots and pour over. Overall the design is nice and it's it easy to maintain (just brush out the old grinds to clean, they include a brush).The only problem I have had is that the wooden knob on the end of the handle has worn out, but the ones designed for other branded handgrinders fit nicely and are cheap to pick up online. At some point for laziness I may upgrade to an expensive automatic grinder but I'd still keep this for weekends or to take to work.

For the price, definitely recommended. Turns smooth, easy to load and fairly easy to keep clean.

After using the Hario Mini Mill for just over 3 years, I decided an investment in a better grinder was needed. The coffee grinder market is flooded with lots of different options, so choosing one that necessarily fits your needs is quite tricky. After looking around for a while, I eventually opted for this, as it has a quality metal bur set, and a large range of adjustability.In the box I received the grinder, a brush for cleaning, and an instructions card with suggested grind settings for different coffee styles.ProsUpon opening, the first thing you notice is how heavy it is, due to the fact it is made almost entirely out of metal (save for the wooden handle!). If, like me, you are upgrading your hand grinder from something like the Hario, it is very obvious where your money is going!Another thing I love is how quick and simple it is to use. Adjusting the grind size is very easy, and the thing demolishes coffee, due mainly to the burr set being used, so grinding coffee is an absolute breeze. Again, if this grinder is an upgrade, you can definitely feel what the extra money spent has been invested in.The brush for cleaning is a nice touch too, and from my experience it isn't needed too much, as the grinder doesn't struggle too much with static, even without a water mist applied to the beans.ConsAs I have given the review 5 stars these are very slight nit picks, and don't really take away many points. The main issue I have is that very occasionally, the handle has fallen off, although it MUST be mentioned that this IS NOT during grinding coffee, and only when it has been out on my work surface. It just can sometimes be slightly annoying reattaching it every time you load beans in.In summary - a great, quality grinder that produces great tasting coffee. If this is an upgrade from a cheaper hand grinder, it is definitely a solid option if your budget prevents spending more.

I recently bought an espresso machine and wanted to start grinding my own coffee beans. I settled on this one as it's generally considered a solid hand grinder.Build quality is excellent. It has a nice finish, screw threads align perfectly and it fits together well. My only criticism is that the knob is a little too easy to pull off when grinding.The grind quality is excellent. I grind at 30-40 clicks for espresso, which results in a lovely powdered finish without clumping. I have ground coarser for cafetiere coffee, which was an equally good result.Hand grinding is a pain, however. I quickly tired of it and ended up buying an electric grinder (Eureka Mignon Specialita). To be fair though, I'm making several drinks per day for two people.If you're going to be making a couple of drinks per day, this is an ideal balance between affordability and functionality. If you're making more than that, go electric - your shoulder will thank you!

Elegant, powerful. If you've got patience you could even grind Turkish coffee with it.My only quibble is that taking it apart to clean is rather involved, and requires removing a couple of very tiny parts which appear to be nonstandard and could easily be lost given the disassembly process involves springs and generally takes place near a kitchen skink. It comes with a small bag and one replacement for said parts...

My husband got this grinder and he won’t stop going on about how great it is.

Wanted to get a 'proper' grinder for espresso for a while. Initially thought about one of Kingrinder's cheaper models but decided on this one.Not disappointed with this at all. It is very easy to use because of the way you set the grind you want. If you use 36 for espresso and 82 for filter it is easy to move between them. It is easy to use, weigh your coffee, add it to the grinder and about 40 seconds later you have your ground coffee. You probably could use a drill to do the grinding but it doesn't take that much effort.Have really enjoyed the coffee that has been ground using this. Even supermarket bought beans taste reasonable using this grinder. However, using freshly roasted beans through this is a big step up. You can tweak the grind by a single click and notice the difference.Really pleased with this grinder and the easy of use. Recommended.Update: Had this for over a month now. Use it every day and the coffee I make, even with supermarket beans, tastes really good. Using specialty beans you get really great coffee. Use the grind settings as a guide and gradually change them to get the best results. Best bit of coffee kit I have purchased.4 Month update.: Have been using it every day since getting it and still love it. Found most of the suggested settings seem a bit high. For espresso in a Flair I have found 32 to be a good starting point rather than the suggested 40. I have tried a couple of very light roasts and I did struggle to grind them for espresso. For pour over and french press though it was fine.
