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

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!

When I got into grinding beans, I was using the usual entry level Hario grinders. Occasionally it seemed hard to get a good full set of flavours from some specialty coffees... Or there would be a bunch of fines blocking up the V60, causing it to drain slowly.I looked at a load of reviews online and got a local recommendation for the Kingrinder. I figured to give it a go and I'm so glad I did! Massively improved all of my coffees. Consistent grinds and very easy to make grind size adjustment. It powers through the beans so you can easily crank through 16g with low effort and really fast.Honestly, i'm so impressed and happy with this lil guy.

I love the grinder. It was great value for money and grinds beans well. The one negative is that the wooden ball has come off the handle meaning grinding coffee is a little trickier than it has been. I can't find a replacement anywhere which I feel is an oversight by the company.

Yes it was expensive and I wasn't sure if it would make much difference, but compared to the little electric chopping blade grinder I was using, it's night and day difference.Once you get the settings right, it's perfect. Took me a few brews on my mokka pot to get it just right. No more blockages and spluttering and no more slightly bitter coffee.I'm not willing to spend the amount of money needed for a good espresso machine and bigger grinder. But if you're like me who's happy with a 6 cup mokka pot and a Vietnamese dripper, this is a great grinder to go for. Fill it up to the top and with very little effort and about 20 seconds, it'll all ground up ready to go.

I've been using this for 2 months now to grind coffee for brewing in a french press. It's easy to use, although the ease of removing the lid could be improved. The handle is long enough to make light work of grinding lighter roast beans, it doesn't retain much as long as you spray the beans RDT style.As my first grinder I'm very happy with this and can taste a clear difference in my coffee when using this compared to preground beans, even those form my local roaster.
