Help With a Mahlkonig Grinder
We have just recently installed a WBC Spec Mahlkonig Grinder in our shop, and I'm having a few problems with it.
The whole idea behind getting this grinder was for competion training purposes, yes we have the Aurelia WBC as well.
When we grind, it tends to spit the coffee out, almost as if there is static charge that is building up in the grinder. Has anyone every had a problem like this? And how do you get around it?

I have reported the clumping problem to Gary Horne twice but I must assume since I am not a professional barista it doesn't matter. It is definitely a problem that I am getting tired of having to deal with.

If you are looking for a k10 doserless, you can get one at guidoscoffee.com
if it's not on the page, email them and they will send you pricing for both models.

Hey guys.
So here is the update. We have been in contact with the local ( South Africa ) distrubuter for Mahlkoenig. The have been very effecient and helpful.
We are getting a brand new kit for our K30.
What this kit consists of is the following. A brass ring around the main grinder unit, this will help with static issues. Next they have replaced the entire chute to help with the clumping issues. There are some other aditions to the kit, and as soon as this arrives I will post some photo's for all to see.
Just a curve ball question here. Have any of you had any major heating issues with the K30 in a high intensity coffee shop enviroment?

Consider an ex-Starbucks 4-group La Marzocco Linea. It's the cheapest way into La Marzocco, and you can get away with less than $5000 easy.
And you'll discover why you wanted a La Marzocco two years down the line.
Make your own. Cold brew in a Toddy or similar system. Dissolve in it an equal amount of sugar by weight. Stir until the sugar is completely dissolved. Try to accomplish this without heating the syrup. It may take a lot of stirring on your part.

The best roaster is any roaster that meets your quality standards that's reasonably close. Freshness counts for a lot in coffee, and even though you need to rest espresso before using it, it's better to have it in your shop so you can have some flex…

Cincinnati Coffee Emporium is an amazing, yet often underestimated and/or largely undiscovered, roaster. Their Ol' Black Magic espresso blend is out of this world and their SO selection is solid.

Well the potential volume discount is only part of the equation but in fact that aspect of the "theory" is indeed unproven in my experience. Offering choice is certainly a competitive advantage in mature markets like San Francisco, Portland, and Sea…
Hmmm. Very interesting, Mike. Thanks for adding that.
