【Famous KOL Recommended】KINGrinder K2 Manual Hand Coffee Grinder with Straight Handle for French Press, Drip, Espresso with Assembly Consistency Stainless Steel Conical Burr Mill, 25g Capacity

Initial impressions are that it's fairly heavy and well made. I couldn't find any major defects or issues with the build/fit/finish. I liked the initial presentation and it comes with paperwork that recommends grind settings, though I found it easier to just test grind and dial it in visually. The grinding handle is comfortable to hold, because of the completely round ball. I know some people are really concerned and want that curved handle, that has been replaced with a straight one; I will admit the curved one is slightly more appealing visually, but functionality wise, I had no issues grinding and found it very comfortable. The length of the ball from the grinding shaft axis appears to be the same, just quick referencing pictures of the older bent handle. But, because you are grinding higher on the body than with the curved handle, there is more torque applied and it might be slightly harder to stabilize the body, making it seem harder to grind. Grounds are nice and consistent, especially compared to my lighter/cheaper grinder. There are considerably less fines and the general size of the grounds are much more consistent. Overall pretty happy with it and hope it holds up. I will say i am liking this one better than the C2 by another brand, that I returned a couple years back.

As a newcomer to homemade espresso, I struggled to find a reliable grind size. The K2 Kingrinder turned out to be the perfect solution. Initially, I was hesitant about using a manual grinder, but the glowing reviews for Kingrinder products convinced me to give it a try—and I’m so glad I did! It’s exceptionally well-made and easy to use.Getting the grind size dialed in was a bit tricky at first. However, once I figured out how to determine the zero point (by turning as far clockwise as possible) and then counting 40 clicks counter-clockwise, everything fell into place. Using this method with my Breville Bambino, I’ve achieved the results I was hoping for.Here’s my process: I use 18 grams of beans, which nearly fills the grinder. Grinding at 40-45 clicks takes about 30 seconds. Then, with a double-shot press, I produce 32 grams of espresso. The result? A brew that not only looks fantastic but tastes amazing too

When you see the price of $88 you might think it’s too high, until you see the price of automatic grinders! Get this manual and enjoy! And it’s fun to crank the handle and grind up your beans and make good espresso!

For the price, the k2 is worth every red cent!!! I ground my coffee beans every morning, and it does not take long. I'm not going to try and sale you by saying the exact time, however, its easy and fast!!! I have not tried it with an espresso I personally haven't gone that far!!! Heat!!! Yes for good quality coffee beans you do have to spray before grinding, otherwise you will have a mess. However, once you spray your coffee beans, "if you decide too," "it leaves little to no mess." The test of the coffee is absolutely appreciate!!!

Great at grinding coffee beans into the perfect consistency. Makes for smooth, tasteful coffee.

This is my first manual grinder. I always used electric ones before. But after one try, I was hooked! It grinds super smoothly, easy to adjust the grind size, and the sound of hand grinding is just... satisfying. Makes my morning coffee feel like a whole vibe. hahah..Only small thing is, I think a straight handle might feel a bit better in the hand. But honestly, I’m loving this thing!

Love this, takes about 15-20 seconds to grind 17-18g of espresso. Requires a decent amount of effort, I’m a 30-something dude so I don’t really mind the extra physical work, but some might. A good test would be to grip something as hard as you can in your left hand and see if that’s something you’d be willing to do every time you want an espresso. Me? I don’t mind a bit.For reference, it’s about 40-45 clicks for my Breville Bambino depending on the roast. Also, the catch cup unscrews from the bottom fits perfectly into the 54mm portafilter basket.I love that it’s manual so I don’t need to deal with that awful grinding noise every morning. The milk steam wand is enough of a harsh noise.It’s simple, it grinds to a degree that the bambino finds acceptable without spitting or channeling or choking, and it feels really solid.

The coffee grinder is an absolute pleasure to use!It takes around 45 clicks to get to a good espresso, and about a minute of grinding.The handle was not difficult to turn by any means.The collection container screws on rather than snapping in or using a friction seal.
