KINGrinder is a Taiwan-based brand dedicated to creating manual coffee grinders that punch far above their price point. Since 2021, its engineers have focused on offering heavy-duty build quality and excellent grind consistency. KINGrinder has made waves in the specialty coffee community by delivering hand grinders that combine a premium feel with a precise, uniform grind. As the official South African distributor, we are thrilled to bring these high-performing, budget-friendly grinders to coffee lovers.

The KINGrinder K1 is the introductory model in KINGrinder's line-up of all-metal manual coffee grinders. Combining a compact footprint with a robust chassis, the K1 is capable of grinding for a variety of brewing methods. This grinder is designed for entry-level enthusiasts and hobbyists seeking uniform grind distribution and precise adjustments at a modest price point. Built with a hexagonal internal mechanism and dual-bearing support points, the K1 ensures stable axle alignment, making it equally at home on a kitchen counter or tucked away in your travel bag.

The K1 is equipped with 38mm stainless steel conical burrs and offers 120 clicks of adjustment over three full rotations. With 18-micron changes per click, the K1 enables you to dial in for a wide range of manual brewing methods from AeroPress and pour-over to moka pot. While the K1 is highly capable for filter coffee, for regular espresso brewing we recommend opting for its larger sibling, the KINGrinder K6, which has a larger burr set.
