Posted Thu Sep 25, 2008, 7:30pm Subject: Got a "new" Mahlkönig K30 Vario  . . .   Wow!  I'm ecstatic . . . will post a review in the "Consumer Review" section when Mark sets it up.  In the meantime, 8 grams in 1.8 seconds; 14.5 in 3.0.  This sucker is fast, quiet, and virtually clump free!

Compared to every other grinder I've had, this one is soo much quieter it's hard to describe. And very very fast.   -- Steve All of life’s big problems include the words ‘indictment’ or ‘inoperable’ - everything else is small stuff. -- AB back to top mhoy Senior Member Joined: 4 Feb 2008 Posts: 139 Location: Sunnyvale, CA Expertise: I love coffee Espresso: Elektra T1 Grinder: KA Proline Roaster: HotTop KN-8828D Posted Mon Sep 29, 2008, 9:55pm Subject: Re: Got a "new" Mahlkönig K30 Vario  . . .   Wow, Elektra and a Vario, what a combo. :-)   Congratulations on your new setup.

Posted Tue Sep 30, 2008, 9:08am Subject: Re: Got a "new" Mahlkönig K30 Vario  . . .   So far, I'm in love!  I admit I have a limited experience in using doserless grinders, but this is the cleanest doserless grinder I've ever seen by far!  To say you don't need a catch tray is, OK, an exaggeration . . . but honestly, not by much.  To say it's "faster than a speeding bullet" is also an exaggeration, but again -- not by much.  To say it's "as quiet as a mouse" might not be an exaggeration at all (it depends upon the mouse).   To say there is no clumping is not an exaggeration at all.   And it's actually kinda fun to use . . . ;^)   A morning without coffee is sleep . . . back to top edwa Senior Member Joined: 15 Oct 2006 Posts: 36 Location: Los Angeles, CA Expertise: I love coffee Espresso: Fiorenzato Volante, Silvia Grinder: Mazzer Mini Posted Thu Oct 2, 2008, 6:59am Subject: Re: Got a "new" Mahlkönig K30 Vario  . . .   So are you going to do the hopper cut down thing? Hmmmmm power toooools. ;-) Seriously, I still hoping someone would post the diameter of the round upper part and give us a better idea of its true dimensions. And now the $64 question, with perfect hindsight, would you have bought it instead of the CMH?
