Kingrinder K2

I would suggest upgrading to something like a Kingrinder K2 for $50... I think the K2 would be absolutely fine if the K4/6 are unavailable

I use good beans, grind my own (Kingrinder K2) and enjoy the puck prep ritual but I'm just a hobbyist and stick to darker roasts.

I ordered a K2 last night, decided the extra $40 for a K6 is better spent elsewhere.

Grinder - Kingrinder k2 I use a bottomless portafilter with a screen, tamper is the stock one that came with the Bambino, and I have been using this set-up with no complaints and great enjoyment for just about 3 years.

K6 if you plan on going with an espresso machine later. Eventually, the K2.

I think you’d be happy with either of these grinders and they’d both last (as long as you don’t RDT and rust the bearings).

I would recommend the Kingrinder. Even the K2 would do.

Budget hand grinder - KinGrinder K2. Eventually P2. The K4, K6 or K7 are way better, but quite pricier (100+).

You will need a hand grinder like the Kingrinder P2, K2, K6 and a precise scale (0.1g readings) at a bare minimum as well.

I started with a Kingrinder K2, which I snatched for $45 on sale). That's what I recommend. Coffee was great, and the manual grinding process was easy and enjoyable.
