So when one side of the sink drains water comes up the other side, we opened the u-trap because we thought the blockage is there, but seems to be elsewhere further ? Any ideas on how to fix this or where the blockage might be ?
Kitchen Sink blocked due to coffee grind, cleaned u-trap, but still blocked why?

We use plumbing tool called snake to clear lines.
Coffee grounds should never be put down drains.

I would be very careful about plunging your kitchen sink. Check the plumbing underneath it first and look for an open standpipe with the dishwasher draining into it. If that's what you have, you'll prolly pump water out of it when you plunge your sink.
Been there, done that.

Had to replace two acoustic ceiling sections in the room below the kitchen that were stained from my plumbing the kitchen sink before I looked under the sink and saw the standpipe with the dishwasher drain hose going into it.

I remember one job we did several years ago. the wife made bacon and eggs every morning and poured the grease down the drain, the three inch main stack was so coated with grease the openinside the was just 2 inches.
I do not know how many times i have had to tell customers
THE ONLY THING THAT SHOULD GO DOWN THE DRAIN IS HUMAN WASTE,TOILET PAPER , AND SOAP AND WATER .
PERIOD

we used to make sooo much money from blocked kitchen drains . the best was thanksgiving weekend when lots of people would throw everything down the drain and block it so bad, then we would get an emergency call, of course it was double time minimum three hours plus travelling. . good times
(If yours was paid off you could buy a new set of golf stix every year just like my dentist does.)So I can pay my mortgage ?
God bless those poor folks on Maui! May they recover as quickly as possible.
