KINGrinder K0

Equipment notes

The K0 is the most compact entry-level manual grinder from the Taiwanese brand KINGrinder (manufactured in China). It uses a 38mm conical stainless steel burr in an aluminum body with an internal adjustment design (remove the handle and turn a dial under the top cap). KINGrinder positions itself on reasonable pricing versus European premiums, and the K0 is the most compact entry in that line. The 38mm conical burr is small, so throughput is modest, but it delivers the body typical of conical geometry, and internal stepped adjustment makes settings easy to repeat. Its click steps are fairly fine, allowing precise sizing in the filter range, suiting filter brewing overall such as pour-over and French press. Light and small, it is convenient to carry and store. It suits value-minded users buying a first hand grinder, or wanting a light travel sub-grinder for filter brewing.
