Introduction

This video compares the 1zpresso ZP6 and Kingrinder K6 coffee grinders through a blind taste test. The host, Daryl Bueno, assesses the flavor profiles of coffee brewed using grinds from each grinder, noting differences in sweetness, acidity, and aftertaste.

Key Takeaways

• Grind Time Comparison: Both grinders took approximately 21-22 seconds to grind 13g of coffee.
• Aroma Differences: The ZP6 produced coffee grounds with a more aromatic profile (rated 4/5) compared to the K6 (rated 2/5).
• ZP6 Flavor Profile: Initially tasted very sweet and clean but lacked clarity and brightness, with a short, dry aftertaste. After cooling, stone fruit notes became more prominent, and the acidity balanced out more.
• K6 Flavor Profile: Initially bright with stone fruit notes and mild sweetness, exhibiting a long aftertaste. After cooling, it became even brighter, almost sour, yet still pleasant with a long lemon aftertaste.
• Overall: The ZP6 produced a sweeter cup, while the K6 produced a brighter, more acidic cup with a longer finish. Both grinders' performance changed slightly after the coffee cooled.
