【Iron Gray】KINGrinder K2 Manual Hand Coffee Grinder with Straight Handle for French Press, Drip, Espresso with Assembly Consistency Stainless Steel Conical Burr Mill, 20-25g Capacity

Obviously these grinders are spendy. But aside from the price, the quality is top notch. Very heavy and well built. Grinds beans fast. The grind size selector works great. Been using it every day. Feel like it will last a very long time.

Best coffee grinder I have ever owned. Fast and consistent. I love this grinder. Worth every cent!

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

It always struck me odd that folks have enjoyed coffee for centuries but never had the benefit of a $300 electric burr grinder. So why do I need to invest in another monstrous appliance taking up counter space just to ensure a consistent grind? For YEARS, I have searched for a simple, reasonable hand grinder that will allow me to take advantage of a good local roaster, and mill their freshly roasted beans perfectly for the desired brewing method (drip, press-pot, pour-over, whatever.) Well, finally I found one. YES, it does take some trial & error determining the perfect grind settings given the 120 clicks of options, but once you find the magic number, this grinder produces a predictable uniform grind every time. Its about time. I cannot recommend this enough. Its solidly built, and does not take excessive arm strength to get the job done. Yes, it takes some testing and effort to match your preferred brewing method/style, but if you are in the quest for the perfect cup, once you find your preferred settings, this will definitely ensure your grind is spot on every time.

Absolutely blown away by this thing. Made me question why I bought a second Virtuoso for another location I have. Grinds light roast way faster than the Hario Skerton it replaced. The Hario is absolutely overpriced and low performing. I had no idea hand grinders were this good and enjoyable to use. Feels quality, has some heft to it. Pleasantly surprised.

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!!!

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.

Great product
