Thanks for the in depth explanation, I’ve had my K4 for 3 weeks now and at first struggled with grind size for espresso which I wasted a lot of beans! I stripped and cleaned it following your instructions and hopefully can get the settings right 👍🏻
Glad it helped. Btw I recently discovered that the top part of the barrel with the numbers can be detached. You loosen it all the way and it will come off for a better clean. Then you put it back on by applying a bit of pressure and rotate to tighten.
Very helpful video, thank you. Before disassembling my 0 point was a couple turns past the 0, now it's a couple prior. I wonder if there's a way to get it bang on 0.
a couple of people said that theirs aren't on the zero either. Mine is a few clicks off. And it's okay. :) Not sure if there is a way to get it at zero thru installation tweeks.
@@joandrea I had a bit of a mess around but nothing would get it bang on 0, it was only ever out by like 2 clicks though so not an issue, not even worth remembering the slight offset. Just used your video again to clean out after switching beans, so thanks again haha
@@andrew2272kag instagram.com/reel/CZ0mgZOoxGHcWeOXo6JVw2pTrbUNghkB1eg2kA0/?igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA== I don't think it's included in this video, since I found out later on, that you can unscrew the top part completely off the body of the grinder. So you can clean it more deeply. This is a short reel where you see me unscrew it all the way. Then, screwing it back on is basically just letting the ridges catch each other to screw back on.
@@joandreaah wow nice one, thank you very much, I literally just came back to make sure I got the indents the right way round for another cleaning, I will check this out
Please know that zero is true zero. There is play to turn it tighter than zero on purpose to protect burrs, this is what KinGrinder themselves emailed me in answer to my query. Also never try to turn grinder at a level smaller than 15 clicks. I have disassembled mine several times by turning it to max setting and leaving it there while cleaning and reassembled.
I haven’t encountered spare parts for sale from Kingrider dealers here. I think you’d have to get creative in case that C-clip gets lost. Metal wire for home construction, or wire from a paper clip.
Hi! Have you sorted this out? The bearing cover is the one with the grove for the C-clip right? I'm sure you can gently or vigorously tap the opposite side for it to come out.
@@joandrea Hi. I've tried this just now, but to no avail. I've also tried pressing on the bottom of the burr and trying to get the bearing cover out using tweezers, but again to no avail. By the way, there is a hexagonal socket under the burr, do you think the bottom of the burr can be removed using a hex key? I think there should a proper warning in the manual with a warning symbol and red font, so that others won't make this mistake, which appears to render the grinder unusable.
@@nsaiswatching I just grabbed my grinder to check what you're saying. It's weird that it won't come off even if you push up on the burr. Did you make sure the grinder is loosened all the way (counter clockwise). Also, I tried putting my bearing cover upside down too, and it is easily removable. So the issue might be different. Maybe debris is between the burr cover and cylinder which is preventing it from coming loose. I also see the hexagon socket at the bottom of the burr. If it were me, yes, I'd go ahead and loosen that and see what will happen. Since everything else you've tried doesn't seem to work.
@@joandrea I appreciate your effort to help. I think you're right. There may be some debris under the bearing cover (coffee grinds). I'll see whether removing the debris can help. Thank you!
Hello. The zero click on my unit isn't aligned with the zero printed on the grinder. I've seen some people with the same complaint. Is that actually normal or not?
@@dingnextstop hello. I heard from others that their unit also doesn't go back to zero. So they just measure the clicks from their default point. This is provided you got it that way or reassembled correctly.
I push it down, out from the body. Or check alignment. Sometimes it’s the opposite for me and it won’t go back up when assembling. I use a combination of force and turning it. And it will come up smooth.
Thanks it was super easy to do with your video
You have the best tutorial for this! 🙂 All important aspects are highlighted and presented beautifully!

Good luck in finding your settings. I"m a set-and-forget kind of person for my daily brew. I'm always at 90 clicks for the Aeropress. :)
Such a helpful video!! Thank you for all your effort and clear explanations

Thanks for sharing, really useful steps
This was super helpful, thank you!
Really nicely made with the graphics! Thanks!

good tutorial. do you know where to stack on extra c-clips? I already lost one of the clips and I wanna stack a lot of them for safety

Nice video!
Can I buy replacement parts for the inside?
I messed up by placing the bearing cover upside down. Is there a way to get it out now or is it permanently stuck?

Hi everyone, my k4 adjustment dial broke off, please guide me on how to assemble it thanks

Yehey! 😻

@@joandrea mine doesn’t go back to zero either in fact goes past by about 1/6th of a turn? which is where the burrs touch
@@dingnextstop hello. I heard from others that their unit also doesn't go back to zero. So they just measure the clicks from their default point. This is provided you got it that way or reassembled correctly.
@@joandrea it arrived that way, yes I already knew how to assemble it from other you tubers👍🏻
wow seems hard 😅 not sure I will take a kingrinder finally 🤣
i removed the c clip but the burr wont naturally fall off
any tips?
thanjs

My 0 doesn't stop at zero. How to tune?
Is your kingrinder k4/k6? My K6 always go back to zero.
@@joandrea mine is k4 and it isn't at 0 too
In 2:24, did you put it back the same way?
Also check 2:44
Sorry I just saw your message now. Did you figure it out?
