Hey guys.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
We are getting a brand new kit for our K30.<br />
<br />
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…

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

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.

I just had a visit from Gary Horne, a part owner in Mahlkonig the other day. He brought a new K30 with those modifications on them. They are going around and showing people who rep for them some of the advancement they have made in terms of clumping and there is a significant difference now. They have added some sort of anti static metal piece to the dosing chute which has virtually eliminated clumping, and the dose is cleaner than it ever has been.<br />

there is a little metal flap at the top of the dosing chute. If that is bent to far down it compacts the coffee... That can be a cause of the clumping... take apart the grinder and have a look and see... As for the coffee spitting out, the chute can cause this to happen as well... if you've cleaned the chute before you may have pushed the metal flap up above where it is supposed to be, which can cause inconsistency in the dosing. unfortunately this is just something you learn to deal with, with…

I am not sure when this will be available though. I personally love your K30, now that I have a better handling of it... give it time, and you'll become good friends. I promise.
