Mastering the Grind with Industrial Cooling and Precision
The Mahlkonig K30 Vario and Vario Air are world-renowned espresso grinders that set the benchmark for "Grind-on-Demand" technology. A winner of the Red Dot Design Award, the K30 series is engineered to deliver a fresh 7g dose in under 2 seconds, grinding directly into the portafilter to preserve the coffee’s delicate aromas. Both models offer stepless grind adjustment for infinite precision, allowing baristas to dial in their espresso with micro-adjustments. The hands-free operation and electronic shot timers—programmable in 0.01s increments—ensure that every dose is consistent, making it a reliable workhorse for any professional coffee bar.
While the standard K30 Vario is a powerhouse of speed and accuracy, the K30 Vario Air is specifically designed for ultra-high-volume environments. The "Air" model features an active, electronically controlled ventilation system that circulates air throughout the motor chamber and around the 65mm burrs, which are located deep within the modular grinding assembly for maximum thermal stability. This prevents heat transmission to the coffee beans, keeping the grounds significantly cooler even during intense morning rushes. By maintaining a lower temperature, the Vario Air can achieve a 100% increase in daily output compared to the standard model without compromising flavour, ensuring that your extraction remains stable and delicious from the first shot to the last.
Fully compatible with Puqpress M1 automatic tampers, allowing you to create a seamless, space-saving vertical workstation.
