The Mahlkonig EK43/EKK43 thread

$1,200 in burrs alone makes that a relatively cheap grinder :-)

Has anyone found these for a price approaching russel's group buy at $1750?
thanks!

Two headed dragon. Wow, again.
To make the best bread or pastry, grains have to be ground right before preparation. Now, that is an idea.

Three headed cerebrus   One for espreso, one for coffee, one for grains.  But.. why?  Vitamix can do it all!

Todd..... I see the double grinder but is that yet another one behind it?  You must have a 3 group espresso machine too?

Actually, there is a barely visible Baratza Vario pouting behind the Guatemala overshadowed by the EKK.  The Vario was the starting espresso grinder, the Guat detents are way too wide to play espresso games.  I was going to go to a nice K10, but then I got a sweet price on a flat burr Mahlkonig K30, and then I asked about the EK...

Don't be silly, a three group espresso machine would be way overkill!

Yeah.. A compact two group would be just right. If only I had a larger breaker box:)

You know you have the right size grinder when your lights flicker when it starts up.
