Help with grinders for WBC

April 4th, 2009

A rather hopeful post I know – but I would be grateful if anyone can help:

Is there anyone out there reading this who might be able to lend/loan/rent one (or cheekily two) timer modified Anfim grinders for Gwilym to use in ATL in a few weeks?1

I am open to bartering/bargaining/trades/whatever it takes….2

If you are somehow able to help then please drop me an email at james at square mile coffee dot com, and we shall be forever grateful!

UPDATE: Well, this is why I love coffee so much – my jaw is on the floor.  Within an hour of posting this I got an email from Shawn at Public Coffee House in Minneapolis offering the loan of their Anfim. I can’t say how much I appreciate this and I am very grateful.  Coffee people are awesome!

Footnotes:
  1. Damned weird 60Hz thing in the states makes the provision of 220V still no help when bringing our own grinder [↩]
  2. To a point of course, let’s keep this legal… [↩]

    Yara – Have you contacted Mahlkonig? Rolf has been more than eager to assist and lend competitors in the United States the use of the K30 grinders.

    I used one in the USBC that had an updated anti-clumping feature that really did the trick.

        Yara,

        if you haven’t found a grinder yet, let me know and i can contact the folks at our Atlanta roasting facility, who will be happy to be helping a WBC competitor. willf at batdorf dot com

        we’ve got two Mazzer Normale’s there and maybe a Robur, but i’m not sure about that.
