Kingrinder K6

“I am like -6 and I do 90. I also get 2 mins on all of Lance's brews. I find if I go even to 80 the brews are way too over extracted. 90-85 seems about right everytime. Cafec Abaca.”

“Apparently the unit the famous YTer got was the type from AE that came without packaging etc, and did not include O rings at all. Mine came from AE with packaging and O rings.”

“Almost gave up cleaning my K6 because of this clip! I used the sharp point of push pin to lodge it out. I don't disassemble the K6 anymore, just stick the brush in and out every 2-3 grinds.”

“It does 4 full rotations. You are miles from 0. Once you get to 0 keep turning until it physically stops. That is your true 0. I find espresso about 40 clicks above that”

“I have a new K6 and I use both the rings. There is absolutely no problem with the white ring coming out. I get a snug fit and the handle always stays in its place.”

“Dici? Se non ricordo male la mini guida compresa nel k6 indicava 95 click per v60, che per i miei gusti è comunque un po' troppo grossa. Di solito io sto sui 75”

“-5 burr lock, ~80 clicks, lance 2 pour recipe gets me 2 mins with Cafec Abaca, depends how fast you pour and how much you agitate I guess. And also the beans.”

“I found pliers to be essential. Maybe if one has longer fingernails, but I found it impossible without tweezers. (What I wouldn’t have given for a hemostat.)”

“Intersting… I got myself K6 recently, I'm brewing with Origami, and I ended up at 120, cause with 90 (or even 105) I had a pretty strong cup of coffee :eyes:”

“When grinding too fine with the k6, I noticed a loss of flavor. It would be thin and muted. Try a coarser setting. I start around 90, but don't be afraid to go coarser. Not sure if you're still needing help.”

“Probably more than a notch. Maybe change the setting to 30? For my kingrinder K6, I remember grinding VERY close to the lock point of the grinder for some espresso's. Like 10 clicks from when the grinder would just lock”

“I usually tap my K6 three times on my hand or a soft surface, to knock the majority into the catch cup. But I have noticed that it appears to mainly consist of fines, so discarding could be the way to go... Interesting.”

“Just got a K6 and mostly use Chemex. I think that 160 clicks recommendation might be an error? Threw out a batch I made with 120 clicks but had pretty decent results around 100 clicks. Gonna continue to dial it in but just flagging!”

“I realized that I shouldn't rely on what they say for grind size in the instructions, so when I decided to go for a cup with around 60-70 clicks on K6, it suited my needs better. Go finer or coarser, way more than you think you should.”

“40 klicks is pretty coarse for an espresso on the K6. I would recommend to grind finer, even if the shot ends up being slow.”

“Sir, I advise you to apply the Ross-Droplet-Technique, I have the same grinder and I rarely have any residue at all.”

“I know it doesn't solve the current problem. But I just use one of those cheap battery USB c duster/blowers to clean out my K6. Looks like the store you are in would have compressed air and you could use that in a pinch. Just watch for condensation”

“I have a question. I rotated my grinder at setting 0 with no coffee in it for around 5 turns. It specifically says in the instructions to not do it since it can damage the burrs but I didn't hadn't read it yet. How can I know if I made some damage?”

“The problem with using both rings is that at least one of them is adding extra friction when you turn the handle. Unless you want to invest more effort when grinding, I don't see the point. It's like riding a bike and pulling the breaks at the same time.”

“after turning the dial all the way to most coarse setting, I use a lid from a starbucks frappaccino glass bottle and push the K6 down on the lid to push the bearing up so the circlip is accessible. Can remove with finger or jewlers screwdriver or tweezers.”

“I kept the black o-ring for manual grind. I want the handle to be easily removable and stored in the box”

“I'm using a K6 as well, and I notice my best V60 cups come between 80 - 100 clicks, with 87 - 95 being the most comfortable for my personal tastes. I was able to make decent cups at 70 clicks, but I had to use next to no agitation or it came out crazy bitter.”

“Yeah. 35 grams was pretty much filled to the top with the beans I currently use.”

“I am using K6 at 31 clicks for espresso with a flair. Try grinding finer”
