Vario SpeedsterWagon - Vario meets the Speedster Espresso Machine

gotta love any machine with '1st gear', '2nd gear'... hehe.

wish i could get a grind like that so i won't have to touch it... mine always clumps... used a rancilio, upgraded to mazzerE... must be humidity in MO ;)

Wuddya know, it's Mark from Coffee Geek. That would explain the flawless extraction! I'm drooling over that speedster. What an incredible machine. Does the Vario do it justice?

[CoffeeGeek]

My awesome barista Beata was pulling the shots, did pretty well - she felt it was a bit messy, but otherwise the Vario handled the Speedster quite well.

Hi Mark, wanted to quickly add that after dialing in my new Vario today, it indeed does a nice distribution. Its really nice being to able to grind, tamp and pull. Vario is amazing...

[TimEggers]

That's great, my pet peeve is baristas touching the coffee as well.

[TimEggers]

Very nice video Mark thanks! The timer dosing is a really exciting and a feature I can't wait to test. Also very surprising is that Beata doesn't do any sort of basket preperarion prior to tamping, is this SOP for the Vario?

[CoffeeGeek]

I try to avoid any kind of touching of the coffee if I can help it, so I taught Beata that as well, if the grinder is capable of doing an even dose - the Anfim does, and the Vario's not too bad either.

Hey m8 nice setup! Just a quick question...i'm awaiting a Speedster as we speak and already own the Vario...good match up or not?

[CoffeeGeek]

The Vario handled the Speedster with very little problems. A bit messy, but did the job.

That must be one of the best looking espresso machines out there.

My Rancilio looks a bit underdressed compared to this though. Thanks for video!

So how did it taste? :)

good vid! very informing. i have been wondering if the vario is really all they say it is. as of now its the one grinder that i am really drewling over!! but i read a forum once that was writen by a guy that was having some troble with his. he said the grind consistancy was a bit off. but it seems like a good burr set and the fact that its ceramic is just great. i really would like to get hands on with one and compare it to some others. i like to spread the grinds out in my hand.
