So today my grinder from Mahlkoenig arrived.  It was the K30 model that I won at the UKBC.

I must confess to being a slightly difficult customer and asking for the polished metal finish, with the blue body.  Perhaps I just like shiny things – I think it looks great.  At some point I shall have to spend a while trialling it against the Compak.  Perhaps when I get the GS3 (it is London now, so that should be pretty soon).  This model is stepped and I am wondering if it is possible to retrofit the stepless grind adjustment.  We shall see….

A big thank you to Mahlkoenig for their generosity and support!
