Coffee grinders beta · Kingrinder
Owners bring up the Kingrinder P2 as the budget manual grinder to start with: cheap enough to try, good enough to learn on, with the K6 as the step up.
Owners recommend the P2 when someone has a tight budget for a manual grinder, naming it as the affordable entry point below the K6 and a sensible first step if you are not sure how far you want to go.
The only recurring reservation is that it sits at the bottom of the range: one owner describes the gap between the P2 and the K6 as night and day, and others mention it as the lower model to fall back on when the K6 costs too much.
Pick up to three. You get a page with just those, side by side, on the subjects owners raised.
Owners talk about the P2 mostly as a recommendation to other people rather than as something they describe using day to day. The pattern is consistent: if your grinder budget is around a hundred pounds or euros, a manual grinder like the P2 is the sensible buy, and it is the one to name when the K6 is out of reach. It is treated as a starting point for espresso, not a destination.
What owners had to accept is the position it occupies. It is the lower model. One owner suggests buying a P2 or a K6 to see the difference for yourself, and makes clear the difference is large. Owners also point out that a cheap electric grinder is a real alternative at the same money, so the P2 is not the only path at this price.
None of the accounts here describe how the P2 holds up over months or years. Nobody reports a failure, and nobody reports a long service life either. There is simply no long-term account of the grinder itself in this set.
To be plain about it: the owner accounts behind this page are thin. They amount to a handful of people recommending the P2 as a budget manual grinder in comparison with the K6 and with cheap electric grinders. Several other comments attached to this product turned out to be about espresso machines rather than the grinder, and they have been left out. Until more owners describe living with the P2, this page can say what it is for, not how it lasts.
Nothing with a clear majority yet. Owners who raised these subjects were split, or too few to judge.
Nothing has a clear majority against it yet. Counted from the owners who raised each subject, not from everyone. A subject is judged once at least 4 owners raise it.
6 more subjects came up from fewer than 4 owners each, which is not enough for a fair reading. To see how it stacks up, compare it with another machine.
The same owner, asked again at each point. Fills in as owners answer.
Two questions: how long you have had it, and anything you would like to say about it. Then we ask again as it ages. This helps our mission.

Before you buy one used, ask the seller: how old it is, whether it was ever repaired and by whom, and whether any of the parts above have been replaced. Ask to see it run. A receipt tells you the warranty start date; most makers honour the term only for the first owner.
