Mahlkonig Vario GENERATION III
The Mahlkonig Vario generation III is now equipped with a new bracket holder and is now much easier to use than before. It has 54mm ceramic burrs which will give up to twice the life of regular steel burrs. It will grind approx. 1.6g per second.
The other amazing feature is the ability to change between espresso setting and say French press. The grinder has two sliding levers. one is for macro changes to the burrs and the other is for finer micro changes. Once you have dialled in your micro setting for espresso to then grind for filter or French press just slide the right hand lever down to your brew method. Once you've finished slide back up to espresso and the micro lever is still locked in at your previous setting. Brilliant!!
The other nice feature is the belt drive motor. Most grinders are pretty noisy but this is super quiet. Plus its looks great and only takes a small amount of bench space.
