But the reason why a lot of people don’t use a hand grinder for espresso is not the quality of the grind but the amount of effort needed to get whole beans ground to a fine enough grind suitable for espresso. You should not use both o-rings at the same time or you'll lose the white o-ring while trying to take the lid off. Personal experience speaking here. I was experimenting and it didn't work. While many hand grinders struggle with light roasts, the K6 performed surprisingly well, with very little slow down in grind time when compared to darker roasts I tried. Kingrinder K6 Recommended Grind Settings Brewing Method I have a few manual coffee grinders that can take up to 3 to 5 minutes of continuous hand cranking to get enough ground coffee – yeah, grinding a few 20g doses when dialing in your espresso = dead.

KINGrinder has round six guide hand grinders on the time of writing, and every grinder of their vary has a novel burr set optimized for that exact grinder. Grinding very fine for espresso, the K6 holds its own. The burrs produce a grind that’s not just fine but also consistent, a crucial factor for achieving that syrupy body and clarity in flavors. There’s no noticeable sludging during extraction, a sign that the fines are kept to a minimum. It’s far superior for espresso compared to another budget hand grinder – the Hario Skerton Pro.

I tried it again this morning with a Brazillian bean that I usually grind at the coarser end of my espresso window.(P64)

Nonetheless, in a brief span of time, they’ve managed to make a reputation for themselves within the espresso world as a result of excessive construct high quality of their grinders. Impressively fast. For my double-shot espresso basket, it takes me around 35 to 40 seconds to grind 18g of fine coffee (number 40 or 39 on the K6 adjustment dial). The build quality and the premium materials combined with the stainless steel heptagonal 48 mm burrs used are unexpectedly high for the price point.I thought I would share my thoughts after a few months of using an 1Zpresso K-Max and Kingrinder K4 side by side pretty well daily, as there are some very noticeable similarities between these two grinders.They are not meant to produce similar grind profiles, so the comparison is more about user experience and build quality rather than coffee produced. These are both part of the brand's "premium" lineups, so I figure they're fair to compare. Evaluating the KINGrinder K6 to different guide hand grinders like 1Zpresso or Comandante C40 with related inner elements, the K6 is available in at a couple of ⅓ of the worth.

My 30+ year old grinder takes about 5 minutes to grind for espresso and has now been retired to spice duties. Having this much adjustment and paired with it's filter - espresso capabilities makes this an incredibly versatile grinder. Fill the grinder with the desired quantity of coffee beans. KINGrinder claims it can handle 20-25 grams of coffee, but it can only contain 20-21 grams when you fill it. The only limitation of this mightly little beast is that if you want to brew a large pot of coffee, you will need to grind 2 or 3 batches, pending your desired quantity. That makes the K1 better suited for preparing one or 2 cups at a time, which is perfect for how I consume coffee but not for everyone. I think the K4 is supposed to compete with the J-Max. The price gap between these two grinders is a little narrower, and the extra adjustability of the J-Max may seal the deal for some (I have no issue easily dialing in with 16 micron steps). I think the real comparison to be made here is the K6 vs 1Z K series, and the K2/5 vs the 1Zpresso JX/ JX PRO After testing I would say that the burrs housed in the K4 are slightly better optimized for espresso, whereas the K6 is set up as a more versatile grinder for all brewing methods.

Equally, for my AeroPress grind (fairly advantageous, quantity 60 on the dial), it takes round 25 seconds to grind 16g of medium roast entire bean espresso. The K6 is nothing less than impressive. It is a high-quality, versatile grinder that is as equally suited to espresso as it is for brew grinds. Specifications The bean hopper is advertised to hold 35g of whole coffee beans, but I found that I could comfortably load the hopper with about 28g before the collection chamber became overly full.
