better grinder for pour over? (sh.itjust.works)

I know high end grinders are probably worth it for espresso, but for pour-over coffee does it make that much difference? I use a Capresso Infinity at either fine coarse or medium coarse and that's about it. Visibly the grind size does look a bit variable to me. Since I'm already in conical bur territory here, are higher end grinders really going to make a noticeable difference in my pour-over brews? If you feel strongly the answer is yes, I'm also curious what you would recommend (but please don't bother naming anything over $500usd unless you provide a link to a used version that is in that range).

Ever considered hand grinding? The comanante is the high-end for that. But James Hoffman just made a video about a decent 35$ hand-grinder. Try to get metal burrs.

No. Arthritis. Thank you though.

Seriously, hand grinder with a power drill on the shaft. Even if you bought a cheap second hand drill just for this, you'd still be ahead

Ha. Okay, I'll bite. What's so great about the hand grinders? Understand you'll save a little money without a motor, but M I missing something else?

The ritual. Handgrinding has a DIY-feel, it's quite satisfying to use a good grinder.

I just bought a Kingrinder K6 as a replacement for a Porlex Tall. The coffee tastes so much better, a lot less bitter, because the coffee is ground much more homogeneously.

I've now seen enough mentions of this model that I'm more or less decided to buy one. But, where can I get it? The KINGrinder site only points to Amazon where the K6 is currently unavailable. Now what?

Amazon seems to sell em for the lowest price, I got one for 88€. Just write a mail to the manufacturer, I'm shure they will answer why it's out of stock.
