Review
When I first read about the Vario I was impressed by their use of Mahlkonig burrs. I had used Mahlkonig grinders in my business and knew that they are simply the best. When the modification was made so that the grinder would not lose its settings if unplugged, I decided to purchase the Vario. I was slightly apprehensive that a grinder at half the cost of anything comparable could satisfy my needs but have found this to be almost perfect. It does not overwhelm my kitchen counter. I have found the support for the portafilter to work perfectly with my Expobar. It does not leave a residue of grinds on the counter. I most especially appreciate the timer so that I can perfectly measure the desired amount of grinds for each espresso. I do not use the grinder for anything but espresso so have programmed it for single, double and triple shots. This is a most welcome addition to my Brewtus and Hottop roaster.
