Isn't that a pod machine? What are the grinders for? :-|

And a 5 kg roaster to fill those pods

Look at what's hiding beside my Strega. Loving this grinder.

Very nice Luke You need to do a review when time permits :thumb: KK

Is that the Forte? Or the Vario 2.0 🙂 I see it still uses the same 54mm ceramic burrs, but has a metal grinding chambers. I would be interested in your review. I loved my Vario for a lot of reasons, but it just wouldn't grind fine enough (even with adjustment) and in the end I replaced it with a BSG which is loads easier to use and cleaner too. The Vario always sprayed out a fine spray of coffee around the machine!

It's a forte AP. Grinds extremely finely out of the box (although I've read that some don't) I asked the seller in the UK to test it for me before he posted it for that reason. So far it's "the best" home grinder I've ever used (all my opinion! And for my needs). Seems to retain barely any grinds and the timer dose has been super accurate so far. More testing to come.

Hi Michael Welcome and there's no sitting up to 4 in the morning arguing with grumpy and opinionated old men allowed on this site. :laugh: Has Steg picked the next batch of cherries? Chester

Haha thanks Chester! We just got the last of the husks off Yesterday. Still got the silver skin on them which apparently means that they were underdeveloped but we'll see.. M
