【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

Muito bom o moedor, muito preciso.

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.
