KVS2001B Sifter with 5 sieves-Black-KVS2001B, Stainless Steel

It appears to be built well enough . It was built for coffee snobbery on a level I have never seen practiced in all the decades of drinking roasting and building roasters. This can help sort a grind for espresso or drip coffee makers and such but if you use this to sort green beans you better have hours of time on your hands for anything above a half pound . Due to the lack of surface area filling the basket with beans will prevent it from passing small beans as intended right away . Beans not big enough to fall through will plug the holes limiting surface area for smaller beans to pass so more shaking and more and more . If this is to be used for sorting ground coffee a better grinder would be the best plan rather than this but that is opinion . Like I said a level of snobbery I am yet to behold would be required to make this a needful thing .

テレビでプロが使用されてたのをみて購入しました。作業としてはコーヒーを入れるのに手間が増えますが、雑味の少ないあっさりとした美味しいコーヒーに仕上がりました。サイホンで入れましたが以前より味が変わったのがはっきり判ります。味に好みがあるとは思いますが、効果ははっきり出ます。

This item is quite unique and there really isn't much out there to compete with it. Overall I am satisfied with the product but there are a few things that could be improved upon. I have been into coffee for many years just basic brewing at home. As you research this device you will come to a few conclusions that others have experienced. -This is not something you would want to use in your regular coffee routine, it adds extra time and wastes a lot of coffee if you end up not using the fines or boulders. -It is a great way to translate grind settings from one grinder to another by looking at grind distribution. This is handy for someone that may own a hand grinder and an electric grinder and want to match up the settings on both grinders to be similar so a specific grind can be replicated on either grinder. It is also good to determine how consistent your grinder is. I found when using the Kruve chart for grind recommendation sizes it was vastly different than what I have been using in the past. The range is quite broad for a particular brew method and this makes sense as you need the big and small grinds in order to add nuance to your coffee. I tried brewing a pourover by using the top end and bottom end recommended screens and I cannot say that the taste was better, just different. If I had to choose I would still rather use whatever comes out of my grinder at a particular setting even though I know the grind distribution may not be what Kruve recommends. I also did not see a purpose of using this on the finer side of the scale such as for espresso. However I have heard there is a method of stacking the various grind sizes to produce some more nuanced flavours. I have yet to try this. I feel espresso is complicated enough to get a decent and consistent shot I don't necessarily want to add this into the "workflow" but I may try this in the future. The kit I got only has 5 screens and it is hard to say if this is enough or if it can provide good results. Obviously if I had the full kit it would give me a lot of options but it is also quite costly. For anyone that is into really tinkering with stuff I would recommend the full kit with all the screens (not the bean ones). This will provide a better experience but maybe see if you can get it at a discounted price, I can think if a lot of things to spend my money on in the coffee world rather than the full kit. Some negatives of the sifter -aluminum parts which are starting to get beat up a bit with use. They also are not necessarily grind tight so to speak. So you may get some grind leakage falling onto your floor when you are sifting. -the screens are tricky to insert, many have commented on this and with time people figure this out but it isn't the easiest to work with. -cost of the sifter is high but there is nothing else that competes with it. So they can price accordingly.

-color bleeding, I bought the black one and the color bleed on my hand , not safe for beverage process -lid was too tight, doesn’t fit well with sifter body, hard to open

Sifter works fine, but the tape has left some residue on the wood. Given the price of the sifter, this is not acceptable.
