CoffeeGeek - Baratza Vario Grinder: "Baratza partnered with Mahkonig to produce the burr set and burr housing on this grinder, and it's unique to the Vario - 54mm flat burrs made out of ceramic"
As I've learned today while looking around for the euro relaease and pricepoint, Mahlköning is a maker of professional grade grinders - and will be pushing out the Vario under their brand with a 220V set-up - listed now as march 2009.
At a bit over €300 it will take some time to "sell it" internally, but by the time easter arrives I hope to have one to play around with - for doppio, presspot and the huge presspot.
...and the sun is coming back...
