Posted Tue Oct 20, 2009, 11:36am Subject: Baratza Vario update?
I was wondering if anyone knew about a possible update to the Vario in the works, as I saw this on the CG twitter:
@trisstephenson the Vario in the pictures is the 1.05 unit, from June, 2009. Waiting on the 1.1 model coming in November. 2:24 PM Oct 11th
I was hoping someone might have an idea of what the update entailed and if it was worth waiting for. I was looking to pick one up in the next week or so, now wondering if I should hold off and wait to see about this update.

I do not know about version 1.1, but a vendor I emailed recently mentioned that Baratza was out of stock until Nov 2nd, which is consistent with the twitter comment.

Thanks! I haven't gotten a response from Baratza yet either, but from the sounds of it holding off for two weeks to see what comes in on the second might be the smartest idea.

When I purchased my Vario from ChrisCoffee less than a month ago, I had asked if there any new revisions being made. At the time he said nothing that Baratza had told him and they are importing/selling quite a lot of Varios.

According to the German Mahlkonig homepage, the updates are:
1) auto-sleep/memory function 2) more accurate factory-preset of the grind settings (which was not always the case...) 3) improved portafilter support due to better adjustable holder (more sizes)
"Less-of-a-mess" by adding: 1) grounded portafilter holder hook 2) new antistatic plastic material for ground coffee box 3) improved chute/spout
Ziemas, where did you get your grinder from? It looks as if you already got a newer version. These updates are pretty neat, and I would hate to miss out on them. Thanks!
