【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.

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.

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.

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.

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!!!

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

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

Great product

Muito bom o moedor, muito preciso.

Suis très satisfait pour une mouture Moka, pour laquelle j'utilise ce moulin. Pour ceux qui veulent une mouture espresso, attendez-vous à y mettre une certaine force et de la patience. Donc parfait pour mouture Moka ou plus grosse.

This grinder is really great, I used to struggle with a basic ceramic hand grinder but the K2 makes grinding nearly effortless by comparison. The straight handle is no problem at all for me. Overall very satisfied with this product!

Just what I needed for making a single cup of coffee. Easy to adjust for the best grind.
