Best praise vs top criticism for Kingrinder K6
“Grinder is the most important piece of equipment you need to make good coffee. Second in the process only to the beans themselves. If your grinder sucks, your coffee will suck. If you’re not making espresso you don’t necessarily need a k6, but it’s generally considered best bang for your buck. Get a Kingrinder p2. It’s way cheaper and will probably be a huge improvement in the cup. If that seems worth it in terms of the cup quality, you can make the decision down the road if you think it would be worth it to upgrade further. If you’re in the states, both can be had on Amazon. If it isn’t worth it to you, return it.”
“The darkness of the roast makes a HUGE difference in how much force is required to grind. So if you happen to also like darker roasts, that may solve your problem. But overall, it's a catch-22 because in general, grinders with smaller barrels tend to also have smaller hoppers. Even my K6's hopper really only holds 20g or so of grounds. It can be annoying to have to grind, dump, grind, dump because I don't want to wait around for the static to dissipate between grinds. Whereas, if I can do it in a single grind, I grind first, then the static mostly dissipates while I heat water, preload my cup with sugar and creamer etc.”
