Ronin Mazzer Kony E (a bit to small for what I want) Also the same dose as the Robur E, so any inconsistencies with the Robur are the same with the Kony E. Great home grinder though.
UNM Surely there is a lot of sense in buying another the same. Working two different grinders would have to be harder than both the same. Maintenance is also easier if both the same. You could of course dump the current grinder and buy two new ones. If you plan on chucking it in the skip let me know and I will save it from the landfill ;D
beanflying Tell you what UNM you buy my K10 off me for $2k and I will go buy 2 new ones 😃 Not so worried about the time taken for either option. My current timer/doser option is slower than a straight E and takes more manual input. As Attilio mentions you just adjust the workflow to suit, currently I tend to grind and load a PF as I am finishing taking an order or chatting to a customer so this time get used for other things. Time taken to correct drop/distribution or dosing inconsistencies are more of a problem than the actual grind time. If your swearing at your grinder clumping on a hot and humid day outside is not cool at all so that's partly why the doser is still being considered.

Since I have been using the Kony-E for a month or so in a home environment I can see how it might be slower than the doser version but the doser version has the advantage of breaking up the clumps that the Kony generates, and I suspect the Robur would be the same. If speed is your thing then get a doser.
beanflying The kitchen bench looks like it would put any Cafe this side of Melbourne to shame at present 8) 3 out of the 4 Compak big boys. K10, A8 & K8 Silenzio to play with in the next week. Anyone want to send me a K10 Fresh for 'evaluation' I would happily add it into the mix and complete the set ;D Mods on the dosing chambers during the week for the K8 and 10 and some testing and playing with the newly purchased A8.

galumay I have a Wega like yours, a Compak K10, a Pharos, a Lido & a Breville smart grinder on my bench at the moment, I have thought about converting either the Wega or Compak to a doserless, but am struggling to find a reason!
beanflying Of these if and 'when' I buy a K10 fresh the K8 may well become a stripped then doserless (use a mazzer chamber and OE funnel? ) out and dedicated brew grinder. I will do a review of sorts on the A8 as it is an interesting doserless in it can hold 1 or 2 single shots (user selectable) preground in the chute which means if your busy the grinder is refilling while your pulling the shots and eliminates one of the minor downsides of doserless. It also has a straight grind on demand option too.
LaSanMarcoMelb If you ever want to demo the LSM Tk conical (68mm) , I'd be happy to organize something.
LaSanMarcoMelb It does..... probably heading to Warnambool in the next few weeks, I drive and drive for a living, maybe a small detour could be arranged.
beanflying If your in the area machine is always on and if you have time can fire up a roast for fun too 🙂
galumay If the La San Marco is still built anything like the old flat burr LSM I owned then it will be an impressive grinder indeed!

LaSanMarcoMelb Size is good for a big conical. 352 deep x 200 wide x 610 high. Also 84mm and 64 mm flat blade on demand (only 570 high) Will DM other stuff
Lacehim What's grind retention like though? That's the only killer with these commercial machines in a domestic environment.
LaSanMarcoMelb Maybe when I get Tim (Bean Flying) to demo in a few weeks he can report back, happy for an honest review. We have been impressed so far, used it at Fine foods in Melbourne and knocked out 40kg in 4 days and it didnt miss a beat.
