Both grinders are produced by the same brand, Kingrinder, highlighting their shared quality and design ethos. As both are designated for beginner skill levels, they cater to users just starting their espresso journey.

Brewing Comparison

In terms of grinding information, both grinders utilize a conical burr system with a burr diameter of 48mm. The K2 has a grind range spanning from pour-over to espresso, while the K4 is specialized for espresso only. Both grinders feature a single-dose hopper type and manual dosing methods, ensuring consistency for each grind. Additionally, the K2 uses steel burrs, whereas the K4 enhances its performance with titanium-coated burrs, which may lead to improved longevity and sharper cuts.

Their grind range differs, with the K2 being more versatile while the K4 focuses solely on espresso. Additionally, both grinders have a grind speed of 60 grams for 18 grams of coffee, allowing for efficient grinding. Lastly, the K2 offers a finer adjustment scale of 18 microns compared to the K4's 16 microns, enhancing adaptability in grind precision.
