Machine Overview

The Kingrinder K2 is priced at $79, making it an affordable option suitable for beginners, while the Weber Workshops EG-1 is a premium grinder priced at $4,095, targeted at advanced users. The K2 is designed for entry-level espresso enthusiasts, offering a manual grinding experience, whereas the EG-1 is semi-automatic, providing more advanced features.

Brewing Comparison

In terms of grinding information, the Kingrinder K2 employs a conical burr grinding method with a burr diameter of 48mm and a stepped adjustment system, catering to a broad grind range from pour-over to espresso. Its single-dose hopper allows for a manual dosing method, retaining less than 0.2g of coffee. In contrast, the Weber EG-1 utilizes a flat burr grinding system with an 80mm burr diameter and also features a stepped adjustment, but with a finer adjustment scale of just 5 microns. This grinder has a toggle button for dosing and a single-dose hopper, with a notably lower retention of less than 0.1g.

Features Comparison

Key features highlight the differences in technology and versatility, with the Kingrinder K2 lacking adjustable RPM and maintaining a general grind range, whereas the Weber EG-1 offers adjustable RPM capability from 500 to 1500, enhancing its grind precision. Both grinders support a grind range suitable for various brewing methods; however, the EG-1 comes with swappable burrs, which allows users to customize their grinding experience further. The Kingrinder K2 does not have this feature, marking a significant difference in the degree of customization between the two models.
