Can't see the EK43 being designed for home use considering its Dimensions: 9 in (W) × 30 in (H) × with standard ...Weight: 54 lbs and Hopper Capacity: 800g and almost 3K usd.

I agree that it's not designed for home use; however, that didn't stop some people (me) from getting one and use it for single dosing.

It works like a charm when used with the mini hopper.

Good grinder but that still leaves a gap in the Mahlkonig portfolio for a single dose grinder for the pro-sumer. The E65S repeated what the K30 offered in a different package while almost all other manufacturers developed a single dose low retention grinder addressing market demands.

I received mine a couple of months ago ,and I absolutely love this grinder! I went through single grinding phase and I am done with it. if you worry about retention, just grind a few grams and discard it. I truly doubt whether most people can tell taste wise if there was retention or not in their pull. I am pretty sure this will be my terminal grinder.

Now aligned(it took me quite a while) and broke in, mine is workin fine.
Scale is precise enough, half gramm max deviation but most of the time spot on.

I like the term and idea of "terminal grinder"

IMahlkonig team suggested the metal flapper should be positioned further away from the grinding chamber (you can refer to their remark in the comments)

What are your thoughts? I gave a try with their suggestion and it choked my grinder

Mine came originally with metal piece closer to chamber...

Mine too.

Checked the burr alignment and I can say that it is off, I haven't done the marker test, but I can hear one high point when I turn the lower burr manually. I will align it one of these days with marker and foil. In the meantime I enjoy the coffee.

I was trying to set the weight resolution in the "Internal Setting", however, I can no longer get to it, when selecting "Internal Setting" it jumps back out.
I logged into the service menu using the service password 6781. I also don't see Wi-Fi option. Did something change?
On a similar note, Mahlkonig no longer shows the password on their YouTube videos, did it change?

I would also like to know this. Mine just shipped!
