My take
Coming from a $10 Walmart grinder, the K6 was a big step up. The 630 g aluminum body feels heavy in the good way, the 48 mm burrs are big for the price, and it adjusts in tiny 16-micron clicks, so you can really dial in. Pour-over came out clean, French press was deep and rich, and AeroPress was sweet, juicy and clear. It's quiet too, so I can grind at 6 a.m. without waking anybody up.
What stood out
- Solid 630 g aluminum body, feels premium
- 48 mm burrs with 16-micron steps
- My sweet spot: about 20–30 for pour-over, 15 for French press, 40 for AeroPress
- Grounds can spill a little when you take it apart
Loved
- Build quality
- Versatile across brew methods
- Quiet for early mornings
- Two colors: dark and silver
Not so much
- A few grounds escape when you open it
Who it’s for
Anyone who makes pour-over, French press or AeroPress at home every day.
