A very delicate bean grinder, many people think it is imported from abroad, in fact, it is not. According to the existing information, we can find that this brand is probably from Taiwan, and it is more or less related to Hansmith. Both the exterior design and the interior structure are very similar.
The whole is filled with a very good metal texture, and it is also heavy in the hand, and the ball is ergonomic and comfortable to hold.
The up-adjustment accuracy is very high, the feedback is also obvious, and the adjustment scale is very convenient.
The grinding core adopts the integral seven-angle steel core, 10mm thick shaft with high-precision bearings, making the grinding feel very stable.
However, only the Kmax is still on sale, and I bought the kpro, which was discontinued long ago. kmax corresponds to an integrated magnetic powder bottle, which is more convenient to use.
It's a good one to mill yourself or give away.

1. Manual bean grinder: Manual bean grinder is usually relatively small and portable, suitable for outdoor or travel use. You need to manually turn the mill to grind the coffee beans, and the grinding degree can be adjusted according to your personal preference. The price of a manual bean grinder is relatively low.
2. Electric conical bean grinder: The conical bean grinder has a conical disk, which can make the coffee beans evenly and carefully ground. This type of grinder usually has an adjustable thickness that can be adjusted according to different coffee brewing methods. Electric conical grinders are more expensive, but offer higher grinding accuracy and convenience.
3. Blade bean grinder: The blade bean grinder consists of a rotating cutter and a fixed blade. This kind of machine is cheaper and suitable for scattered use. However, they often result in uneven grinding and can produce overheating, which may have some effect on the taste of the coffee.

- Adjustable thickness: The degree of grinding thickness of the bean grinder is very critical and can be adjusted according to different coffee brewing methods.
