About the Kingrinder K0
The Kingrinder K0 is a manual hand grinder with 38 mm conical burrs and stepped adjustment. At its coarsest it reaches about 1050 µm, so Percolator, French Press, and Cold Brew sit partly beyond its range. Each click moves the grind by roughly 18 µm.
What we found on this machine
Checked against
KINGrinder's K0/K1/K2 manual, "Recommended Grinder Settings". Read September 03, 2026.
The K0's column says "Not recommended" against Turkish and espresso. That is not a gap in the table — it is KINGrinder declining the method, and this page declines it too rather than modelling a number the maker deliberately withheld.
The same page states that one full round of the dial is 40 clicks, which puts the French press setting of 140 at three and a half turns from zero. Moka pot and AeroPress share a row, as they do on every KINGrinder chart.

Kingrinder K0 — frequently asked questions
Is the Kingrinder K0 a manual or electric grinder?
The Kingrinder K0 is a manual hand grinder with 38 mm conical burrs.
How much does each click change the grind on the Kingrinder K0?
Each click on the Kingrinder K0 changes the grind by about 18 microns, so you can dial in small steps.
What grind sizes can the Kingrinder K0 produce?
At its coarsest the Kingrinder K0 reaches about 1050 µm, covering 17 of the brew methods we chart. Its finest setting isn't published, so we don't state one.
Can I copy grind settings from another grinder to the Kingrinder K0?
Not directly — every grinder's scale is arbitrary, so a number that works on one model won't match the Kingrinder K0. Match the micron range instead, using the chart above.
