I have spent many hours of research looking for a grinder to match my new rancilio silva. The decision was down to the rocky or the compak K3T. Then i found that the Wega mini is the same as the compak, just relabeled. So this grinder came into my research quest as well. The wega was a similar price to the compak, but then i came across a site that was selling it for $380!!!! I wont mention the site as i dont want to offend the sponsors, but a google search should help you find it. However when i now check the same site, it says out of stock. I received my Wega well packaged with one kilo of house blend beans included. The grinder is everything i hoped it would be. It has 58mm flat burrs with stepless grind adjustments. There is a button on the side for manual grind...this gives a continuous grind, or there is a auto button which gives a timed grind(7gm)..The timed grind can be adjusted by getting to a regulator screw. The hopper can be removed without the beans going everywhere by pushing closed a shutter. The only drawback are the grind markings...very hard to see, but a couple of dabs with a white marker lets me know where my settings are.
So overall, very happy. After about half an hour of grind setting tests, i am now getting excellent shots from miss silvia.
