  • Mahlkonig K30 Vario Air purchased for a steal!

    Hey so I just got a 4 yr old K30 Air as an upgrade from my Super Jolly. Came across it on ebay for under $1k and thought "yep that'll do".

    The owner says it's only been used for home use, and he just put new burrs in a couple months ago.
    He told me it's only had home use after I had already paid, so I'm pretty happy to believe him.

    I just wonder if anyone on the forum has some advice on how I could check it out for signs on age, or needs of repairs I should say, quickly when I receive it, before I put it to use in my little cafe.

    I've never had one before, or been in the same room as one... so I am going in blind.

    I assume I will open it and feel the burrs with my fingers to see if they feel sharp. Anything else I should do? I just don't wanna start using it and have it break down all of a sudden half way through a day.

    Thanks guys.

    Jeepers! He must have been making lots of coffee at home to need new burrs after just 4 years of domestic use.

        Maybe. It says 4 years old, but that might not be right I guess.

          Or maybe he changed the burrs just because he was over the top concerned about perfection, and when it didn’t make any noticeable different... upgraditis set in... lol

            Does the Mahlkonig not have a plate with manufacture date? The Compaks do...
