Big difference. My burrs are not even seasoned and the grinds look obviously different. The difference in the cup though is what counts and this tastes like a whole new grinder to me. I've never felt like the vario did a great job at press anyways. The vapot setting is also much improved. I was gonna sell my vario for a preciso until I found these burrs.jsolanzo wrote: $60 does seem a lot, but if it makes a lot of difference, like less fines, then I'm down!

Awesome! I'll definitely buy a set. I think the only problem with the ceramics is the fines. I'm always getting a cup of coffee that has a hint of bitterness in it. Every other variables look right, except for the bitterness.

Maybe you should have! Glad you're happy, but I really wish someone would do a head-to-head between the Preciso and Vario 2.0. I haven't yet read of any "cup quality"-based reason to shell out substantially more for the latter.jammin wrote:...I was gonna sell my vario for a preciso until I found these burrs.

Yes, the new burrs are produced by Ditting. I was pretty thrilled when I found that out.

Sorry for double post, but I just purchased one! Should arrive about tuesday since I live in CA, same state as the Baratza distributor I think.

The espresso Vario burrs are made by Mahlkoenig. Aren't Ditting and Mahlkoenig the same company now? Either way, the Varios sport some serious burrage.jsolanzo wrote:DITTING! If anyone can let me borrow a preciso..... I can compare lol..
