I have been dialing in espresso with a Vario grinder and wondering why I was getting such wildly inconsistent results. Turns out I mixed up the fine and coarse adjustment levers.

Vario team!

Did you try out the steel burr yet? Or the “hyper-alignment” procedure? Any other mods?

New ceramic burrs.

I typically use light roast beans, apparently ceramic is better there.

Went through the hyperalignment procedure and got close but not perfect. Had to move on and get it back together at some point.

Just curious, because I haven’t seen a grinder with levers. Does it work differently to the grinders that have a dial, like 1-10 for “courseness” ?

edit as in a dial, and then a single “on” button?
