I also heard some information about PK line, pretty interesting. But I don't know what ground distribution means.

I assume a system to distribute the grinds evenly rather than mounding.

I've been waiting around patiently to see what would come of the PKR-100....the wait seems to be coming to an end! :D

Cold Grinding & Low Speed RPM = integrated fan and 400 RPM
Ground Distribution & Clump Remedy = rotating grind chute (seen here)
Dose by Weight = integrated scale and portafilter holder. The holder seems to be modular, presumably to fit various portafilter sizes. Can grind to within 0.1g of precision (seen here.)
Particle Size Distribution = ?

speculation:
PKR-100 = replacement for the R100.
PKF8 = replacement for the E8 and F8. Looks to be 28" tall now, compared to the 26" height on the F8.

Any news on the burr sets? Are they staying the same or are they new?

I had also read previously there was suppose to be some sort of air purge system to clean out retention, any word on this?

More photo :

It look similar EK43's burrset. But it's not casting burr.



And I saw very interesting feature on PKR100. Something is in their chute!

Looks to be some sort of funnel wipe I'd imagine.
