A member in my forum posted that the warranty of the recently purchased Mahlkönig Varios is void if the user performs the very common procedure of fine calibration. Click Here (www.greekespresso.gr)
That change in their policy does not make any sense to me. Does anyone know something more? Anyone from Baratza if they have any colleagues over there in Germany?

Dear friend do not twist words : notice says that "warranty is void if seal is broken" and that has nothing to do with fine calibration Not that I am a fan of Varios... Ciao, Pietro

You can use the secondary calibration screw to tighten the grind. If that is not sufficient, then you can probably contact Mahlkönig and ask for assistance.
as I said I am no fan of Varios and cannot help you. I can only imagine that if the sticker was not there in May, manufacturer had not yet realized that their tightening system was not understood by many customers who kept overdoing and breaking the seal....take Pizzaman383 advice about that...... Ciao, Pietro

This is the so called primary calibration and should be used as your last resort. And again, if someone has to adjust it he should undo the fine calibration screw (2mm) first. IMHO, It would have been more reasonable to put the sticker there than onto 2mm screw. "Re: The Baratza Vario Grinder Owner's Thread" Click Here (www.baratzallc.com)

Who asked for your help? My grinder is working perfectly and in addition does not have the aforementioned sticker so I can do the fine calibration if the need for that arises. Because the original post has been drifted, I am reposting it.
