    Re: Ultimate home grinder, K10 WBC or something else?

    Mostly that were fairly isolated and shipping is over twice as far as canada from europe, so we pay more than double for it.

    market pressure also helps - US has big buying power so canada benefits from that, and so does economy of scale re: 30ft shipping containers etc, as linnaen said.

    the big thing that puts me off the K10 is that it has multiple grind paths, but only one of them goes via the doser.

      I received my K10 after yet another UPS screw-up on the same shipment...  Quite a monster grinder.  The original hopper (I bought a mini one to use) is about the size of the body of my M4!

      The first shot I pulled was pretty much perfect, and I keep being amazed by how easy it is to pull great shots.  No more messing about with stirring up grinds in the basket.

      The burrs on my grinder spin like this video.  Im not sure if its just the fastener, or the shaft itself thats not concentric.  Presumably the latter would have destroyed the burrs pretty quickly, and considering the nice grinds Im getting...  Is this normal?

        Thats what mine does, but as quoted with the video it looks like the screw only.....off to check :-/

          Yup mine does that as well.

          It took awhile for the burrs to break in tho.

          Initially, the grind setting drifted quite a lot day to day.

          Dont know if anyone else experienced this....

              My K10 WBC, manufactured May 2008, has no pin for locking the grind adjustment.  In fact, the threaded end cap on the lever isnt there at all, but there is a hole in the end to stick a screwdriver through for the hopper screw.  I left this screw as it came (very loose), and the mini hopper sits in the grinder throat happily...

              There was a second faceplate in the hopper box, and I was really pleased when I realized what its for.  If you remove the finger guard/automatic grinder assembly remnant, the cutout on the original faceplate leaves a huge hole on the front of the grinder.  The spare faceplate has a much smaller cutout.

              Spare faceplate installed, original faceplate sitting on top for reference.
