Hello. I'm looking for some advice on used grinders around $1500 Canadian. I'm looking for direct to portafilter.

As of right now my two top pics are a mahlkonig k30 Vario in great shape for $1500 or a compak e8 with ssp burrs for $1500 also in great shape.

No idea. I'm sure that it's a fine grinder with all of the advantages and all of the disadvantages of every huge on-demand high-duty-cycle high-speed commercial traditional espresso grinder. Certainly way too large for most kitchens, and almost certainly not a good fit for home use.

This one is a lot closer to you since it's in Toronto. https://www.kijiji.ca/v-coffee-maker-es ... 1592339197. No affiliation.
