I have to say the EK43s all look like they could grind meat too.

Quick, someone measure how tall it is!

Is this this final production version, or still a prototype? It doesn't look much different than the one marked "Prototype" on the marketing photo.

Sorry, posted that pic with no explanation. My friend is at the WBC all stars event in Milan. I "borrowed" these EK pics from him

Not much info yet, but interested in exactly how the various settings work. I know they don't care too much about nerds buying for the home, but I hope they will make more limited edition mini-EKs, because I can't see this being anything but expensive. And pre-weighing doses is not that big of a deal in a home setting. The new knife set will probably also fit classik EK unless made for different speeds only?

I much prefer the appearance of the standard EK to this one. Though I much prefer the sight of an EK with your dosing tool atop it

If the final production version of the EK43B resembles what we see here, count me out - I'll take the original over this, even if I need to swap out a Santos lower case myself.
