Overview
The Kingrinder K1 steps up from the K0 with improved bearings and finer adjustment steps in the espresso range. The upgraded internals deliver a smoother grinding feel and slightly better uniformity. The K1 represents excellent value for espresso-curious hand grinder users who want to experiment without significant investment. At its price, the K1 offers performance that would have been considered mid-range just a few years ago.
The Kingrinder K1 features a 38mm conical burr set, crafted from steel. Grind retention is approximately 0.1g — virtually zero retention, making it excellent for single dosing.
At $55, the Kingrinder K1 is aimed at budget-conscious coffee lovers just starting their espresso journey. Key workflow features include single-dose design (no hopper needed). As a hand grinder, it's completely silent, portable, and gives you a meditative morning ritual.
The Kingrinder K1 is weighing 0.4 kg, manufactured in China. Its footprint measures 47 x 47 x 170 mm (W×D×H).
