Funny thing is, Kingrinder came out with an "entry level" line of grinders, $22-$44 Plastic housing, but the guts are solid aluminum and stainless. Think a block of aluminum with a hole through it for the axle to go through. The plastic housing is literally just to hold beans inside. Excellent ingenuity! I'm waiting on my k6. Excellent video!
K4 and K6 are currently being sold for 80/90 EUR respectively on amazon with prime, especially for the K4 that's an incredible deal. I was about to buy a C2 max for 50, but thanks to your video I found out about this brand and how well they are made. Can't wait for mine to get here!
Thanks for this video sir! It has steered me away from the Timemore c2. I am now considering the KinGrinder K2 for my first specialty manual grinder BUT seeing your K6 here, and considering the adjustment dial located on the outside (looks easier to dial in) makes me want to get the K6 instead. Did you get to try or look at the K2, K4 as well? Is the k6 a widely better option?
Had the timemore c3 max pro but returned it for Kingrinder k6. The timemore is fantastic build and retractable hand lever. But timemore is just does not have enough adjustment. What a waste in build quality and design to make this entry-level adjustment.
I'm a long time c2 user, been at least one and a half years of use. However, I'm also looking to upgrade, and while I've been eyeing the 1zpresso, Kingrinder seems to be a nice cheaper alternative, so I'm looking at it as well. Too bad the price is higher than 90USD,but still within my budget range. I want to ask, how's the experience of the k6 now? Was there any taste difference between the c2 and this one? Thanks for the video.
The K6 is $100 USD equivalent in Taiwan. It's a little cheaper in China. You may be able to find it on alibaba. But it will cost a bit more if you're not buying in China or Taiwan. Plus shipping fees.
Thank you for this video, Ran! You're the first one I've seen to point out the wobble on the Timemore C2 and was surprised to find that my unit has it as well. Now I'm curious as you didn't do the same for the Kingrinder -- does it spin in a more stable manner? Does it spin as freely as the Timemore? I saw from another person's video showing that his Kingrinder K2 didn't spin freely and even made some sort of grinding noise as it did. I suspect it might have been at a fine grind setting, but it would be a major concern if it wasn't.
Hi, Vince, the Kingrinder spins much more centeredly than the Timore C2. I've forgot to shown that in the video. But, the spinning of the C2 lasts longer though.
@@RanLinlayrian I see! Does it matter that the spinning of the C2 lasts longer though? Or is it just as smooth and easy to use despite that? I saw in a 1Zpresso video that the JX grinders seem to be as smooth as the C2.
@@vincetarrosa The smoothness of the spinning is more like the cherry on the top. For a well sealed bearing, the rubber ring will make it spin less smooth, yet provide much better protection for the bearing. I would rather choose a bearing with better protection considering the working condition. And centeredness actually plays a more important role for it decides the consistency of the grinds, which determines coffee flavor.
Surprised to see the wobble on the Timemore C2. Own a 1Zpresso Max which this reminds me of. The Max can be disassembled without any tools. Good review with some insight.

Did you buy the K2 finally or K6 ? I canceled my C2 order to get the K2 for the same 55€ price. The K6 is 100€ I little too expensive for my usage.

The K6 is currently about $140 on Amazon when it's in stock. (June 2022)
The K6 is $99 on Amazon right now, and the K4 is $88. I bought the K4 and love it.

From what I understand, kingrinder was formed after some sort of split at 1Zpresso, so it's understandable why they seem similar.
K6 costs 150-180EU -> 170-190$, for 90$ you can buy K2
I have received k6 today.
price is littlie high $120 + transfer fee ($40).
Hello Ryan, what would you propose to buy the Kingrinder K6 from Europe? Over Aliexpress or is there another proposition?
I’m not sure, I reckon aliexpress is pretty legit.
what the best K6 or timemore s3?
@@demonvip2070 I haven’t used the S3, so I don’t know
Looks very similar to the 1zpresso J-Max.
Hi there, where can I get that Kingrinder K6 for 90 bucks?
I guess when it’s exported to the US, the cost goes up.
Legendas em Português muito bommm !!!
Is it pronounced "Kin...grinder " or "King....grinder " ?
I’m not sure😂😂
better shoot on your table
