Proper filtration for our water quality

Thanks Pat! I did call them but would not provide me anymore info than what was in the report. Is it safe to say having the RO system wouldn't negatively impact my water quality? Meaning it's safe to buy the RO system for my machine

Proper filtration for our water quality

Hey Folks, I'm linking the report from the water quality report from our city. Hoping there is enough info for determining the requirement for plumbing my GS3. We have very hard water, but we have a water softener that has near zero reading. I was planning to purchase the APEC or iSpring 6 stage RO ...

[SOLD] Mahlkonig K30 Vario Grinder

Selling my Mahlkonig K30 Vario Grinder that I purchased from Chris' Coffee in early 2015. This was my go to espresso grinder for several years, but now I have too many and need to sell a few.

Mahlkonig K30 Vario grinding inconsistently

Took out the burrs and cleaned them up. They look new and sharp so they are fine. Calibrated the burr alignment with the lid and everything is good again. Working perfectly

Mahlkonig K30 Vario grinding inconsistently

Everything is good again. I changed out the flapper which stopped the grinds going everywhere. I also needed to recalibrate the burr alignment. It's quite a bit off from the factory marks

Mahlkonig K30 Vario grinding inconsistently

Breaking it down didn't fix the issue. I have the grinder set almost to the lowest grind setting but it's not fine enough. The grounds are not coming out of the chute at a crazy rate anymore, but not functioning properly. The flappers arrive today. To install the flapper, it looks like you simply pu...

Mahlkonig K30 Vario grinding inconsistently

Also, there was some caked in grinds around the flapper that could haven't been helping. I just finished putting it back together and will test in a bit to see how it grinds. ...

Mahlkonig K30 Vario grinding inconsistently

So the back pressure then keeps the grinds in the burrs longer for the consistent grind? I'm not sure I can go much lower on the grind setting
