I've got a big activity this weekend to clear-out my under-counter space to make room for all the appliances and junk that's sitting on top of my counters right now. Gotta make some space for my new Musica/K30 Vario combo!
Even so.... my counters don't look nearly as crowded as your's.... but at least your's has a sort of "feng shui" nature about it...

Well, that is only what is in the kitchen, there is more, .... lots more! 4 of those grinders were purchased to referb and sell to new members who are just starting out but that "project" hit the skids as selling them in the BST forum is forbidden. "project worth doing?" They are still extra for me and if someone may want one, send them my way!

Well now that you've mentioned it Wayne, it'd be great if a few members read this & contact you. Or if you see that someone on the BST forum or any other forum is looking for a grinder, there's no reason you can't persue those members offline. {;-)

I think us coffee lovers like to collect coffee gear. I myself have 3 grinders, 2 espresso machines, a couple drip coffee machines, an assortment of pour-overs, 2 press pots, a Keurig brewer, 2 coffee roasters.. lots of stuff. It's like some sort of addiction. Not just to coffee, but to the gear as well.

I just want to keep things legal here. This is kind of a second home to me and someone, somewhere said something about "messing" where you live :p
I am taking the two T80s out of the espresso category until I can figure out why they don't want to feed beans through the burrs at espresso adjustment settings. They do drip etc. just fine and as that class grinder they are great but for some reason, when set very fine, they do not feed beans through the burrs, like the opening into the burrs is not large enough. They came with the bulk/bag nozzle on them so are the burrs different?????? I would think not but then again??????
