    Price?

    Good grinder for cold brew and pour over. Been using one for a few years now on a regular basis.

    It's not good enough for espresso as grind size is not small or consistent enough.

    Doesn't compare to the K6 whatsover. Much slower, not consistent. I now use my old one to finely grind salt for cooking…

    thanks, just ordered one, I have been looking for a manual one to try it out

    I think I will buy one for pepper. I am using one from ebay, the grind size is not consistent.

    • Yes, it's great for hard spices/salt

      • i want something to grind pepper to a coarse ground. would this work well? or does it only do more fine grinds?

        • Yes it's adjustable - fine to coarse all good.

  • Thanks OP. Been Looking for a manual grinder for a while.

    I use one every morning with my espro P1 travel press. I sometimes use a cordless screwdriver that I have in my office to grind but not always.

    Theres a free (you have to buy a small bearing) 3D printable mod that helps with consistent grinds. I've never done a before/after test but used one since day1:

    Ceramic hand grinders are significantly harder to use than metal ones. They require more force, wobble, and don't make consistent coffee grounds. I recommend one with a metal mill. They are a bit more expensive, but it is worth it.

    My recommendation for an entry-level manual grinder would also be:

    The build quality is very good and grind quality is exponentially better than the Hario.

    If your budget is really tight, these are $60 for black and $40 for champagne colours, both currently with 20% off coupons:

    • Just curious - what makes one better than the other? The grinding principles are equal. Is it the burrs?

      • Compared to something like the Kingrinder:
        Metal body will survive a drop and the catch cup threads won't get stripped when you accidentally overtighten it.
        The mostly metal interior with 2 or 3 bearings will allow for smoother rotation and less shaft movement & burr wobble, allowing for more consistently in the grind size.
        Sharper metal burrs will grind quicker & quieter and the cut of the metal burrs can usually grind finer and deliver more consistently sized grinds.

        Between the Kingrinder and similar grinders, the differences to look out for are better build quality, higher capacity, better burr cuts that specialise in certain types of coffee like espresso, better adjustment mechanisms and finer adjustments to make it easier to dial it in.

        I generally recommend the Kingrinder K0/K1/K2 for the above reasons, especially if all you want is to grind french press or Aeropress, which are very forgiving to grind size.

    I think these grinders are more suitable for salt/pepper/hard spices, cheap ceramic grinders are very inconsistent, and if you are having 2+ cups a day manual grinding becomes a hassle. You will most likely end up buying a new one in 3-6 months as these grinders won't give you a consistent output.

    I am using Westinghouse Conical Burr Grinder, for the price it does the job and seems good quality. It's hard to find a decent non-manual coffee grinder for under $100, and even quality manual grinders fall within the $50-$150 range.

    • That seems like a pretty good price for a non-manual burr grinder.
