Precision and convenience: great all-round grinder
After using the Kinggrinder for over three months, I can confidently say it’s a highly reliable, precise, and convenient choice for coffee enthusiasts. I opted for this model over a competitor that is reportedly easier to clean because I preferred the external clickable adjustments on the Kinggrinder. This feature makes it incredibly easy to switch between grind sizes—perfect as my partner prefers a finer grind while I go for a coarser one.While I’m not new to the daily grinding of coffee— I previously used a (considerably loud) old-school electric grinder with a graduated burr —the grind consistency of the Kinggrinder is truly impressive. The grounds it produces are remarkably even, which enhances the overall quality of the brew.Its compact and portable design has made it a great travel companion even across continents. While I haven’t yet opened it for cleaning —admittedly a slightly challenging process — the habit of lightly wetting the beans prevents static and ensures minimal residue buildup. I anticipate needing to clean it only about twice a year, and when the time comes, I’m happy to follow a YouTube tutorial to get it done. Overall, this grinder has exceeded my expectations in both performance and convenience. Highly recommend.

Good Quality Hand Grinder
I have wanted to make better coffee at home and this grinder has been very helpful to that end. I was convinced to get a grinder from this company after James Hoffmann's positive review and I decided to get the best model available.I appreciate the features and attention to detail from the solid metal body, the exterior adjustment with clear markings, and the comfortable wooden handle. I find that it has the perfect capacity for a single serving of pour over (18 to 20 g) and I actually use it to grind larger quantities of beans for pour over by filling, grinding, and emptying multiple times. The grinder is very ergonomic and easy to use - I haven't had to strain or struggle to grind most beans at course to medium fine settings.I will note that there is some static buildup (this is an inherent problem with grinding coffee and not a flaw specific to this grinder) but I just let the grounds rest for a minute or two and then firmly tap the side of the grinder with my hand a few times which helps knock the grounds loose. Although I still consider myself as an amateur home brewer, I believe that this is a great entry level quality grinder that is easy to use and priced competitively in what seems to be a rather expensive coffee gear market.

Long Term Review of the Kingrinder K6
I've been using this grinder multiple times a day for about a year now. My primary use cases are V60, aeropress, french press, and espresso. Bottom line is this grinder is excellent in every way and could be all you ever need to make *any* type of coffee. I'll break up my thoughts by brew type to give you a better understanding.French press: I'll start off with this, because I think it's by far the strongest category for this grinder. The reason being that the grind uniformity for very large grind sizes (like for french press) is ridiculously good. The flavor profile is unlike anything I've gotten from other hand grinders or electric grinders. Additionally, with the large burrs, the grinder makes short work of grinding and it isn't physically difficult either.V60/Aeropress: I'm doubling up these categories because I think they demand similar things in terms of grind profile. This is the most frequent type of coffee I drink and maybe the most challenging for this grinder. I have had great cups from these methods when using this grinder, but I find that dialing in for a consistently good cup can be oddly difficult when using new beans. I think I may have been spoiled by the level of quality this grinder is *capable* of, so if it's anything less it's noticeable right away. Overall I advise to adjust grind size in 10 step increments (or coarser) until you find something acceptable.Espresso: Finally espresso. this grinder is very much capable of espresso, the increments are plenty fine enough and go small enough for just about any arrangement (I typically run light roast and a bottomless portafilter personally). I think this is where the grinder really comes alive, as the tuning of the steps is perfect for dialing in a good shot and I usually only need to pull 1 or 2 shots before it's good to go. I wouldn't say the flavor is the absolute pinnacle per se but the character of the beans really shines through in every shot.Overall: Excellent (solid metal) built quality, excellent user experience, excellent adjustment system, excellent reliability and longevity, excellent price. There isn't really much to complain about, but if I had to, I'd say I don't like the threading on the catch can, I wish it was a shorter throw, or better yet a magnetic attachment system. I don't see a reason to get anything better than this, the taste is better than most cafe drinks I've had and it doesn't seem like it'll break anytime soon. Highly recommended.Edit: Kingrinder is really starting to gain some traction now that James Hoffman has done a video on them. Be wary of paying too much for this grinder, I paid $100 when I purchased mine in March 2023, but there are many options that are better in the $200 range from 1zpresso and other companies that come with more creature comforts. Do your own independent research!

Perfect travel or simple home grinder
Easy to use, fantastic results, minimal fines, good price, very portable. I've got one for home/ travel and one in the office. Great fit and finish, build quality is great, great grind size control, and feels really nice in the hands.I've got a couple and given them to friends looking to get into brewing better coffee. Totally recommend.

Solid and very versatile. Great hand-grinder in this price range
This is a fantastic grinder. My brother-in-law got his from us as a birthday gift and he has gotten great results with this alongside some fresh specialty coffee beans. It has an insane amount of variability for a hand grinder, and the external dial is very nice. Feels solid. Useful for great espresso and pour-over alike.
