My continuing grinder saga: Vario vs. Breville
I spent way too much time looking for a good burr grinder and decided on the Breville Smart Grinder (Breville BCG800XL Smart Grinder). As detailed in my review of the Breville, one of the contenders was the Vario, which I borrowed from a friend to try out. I loved it, but the price was a bit too steep.
Low and behold, I got a Vario as a gift! Absolutely love it, but now that I've been using it side-by-side with the Breville for a few weeks, there are a few trade-offs:
Build quality: Both are good, but the Vario feels more substantial. Less plastic, more metal. I uploaded a picture of them side by side.
Burr quality: although the Breville has a decent set of conical burrs, the ceramic flat burrs in the Vario are far more meaty and substantive.
Ease of changing grind: draw. Both are simple to use.
Degree of control over the grind: the Vario wins hands down. It's...

Totally satisfied with this coffee grinder
I agonized for a long time before spending over $400 on a grinder. I started off thinking that I would spend no more than a quarter of that amount but after reading numerous reviews, I came to the conclusion that the cheap grinders just don't work very well. The Vario is so new that I didn't find any meaningful reviews but I took a chance based on its specifications. I'm very satisfied with it. It looks good, it grinds extremely fast (at least compared to anything I have used before, 20 sec. for enough coffee for a 32 oz French press), there are lots of different grind settings (macro and micro giving lots of combinations), and there are no static problems to throw grounds over the kitchen worktop. The grind appears to be uniform as far as I can tell.
I use it for grinding coffee for a French press. I find setting it a little finer than filter gives the right results for my tastes -- I don't know whether that means its pre-settings are too coarse or whether I just prefer a...
Pretty good so far
Seems to grind pretty much flawlessly, without jamming. I think beans have stuck in it twice in the year I've been using it, and I like a nice oily roast. Other grinders jam constantly.
I like the preprogrammed time settings. I just use this thing for daily drip grinding. I like the electronic timer much more than spring-wound timers.
I have found the grind to be consistent and uniform. I am hoping the ceramic burrs last as long as they are supposed to.
Dislikes:
I had to file down the housing a little to get the hopper to slide in and out smoothly. I am disappointed but not too surprised as high end coffee grinders have got to be on small production runs, with inconsistent quality.
I find the blue LED indicator lights to be piercing. I would prefer a more low-key color, like amber.
By far my biggest gripe: The time display is an LCD panel. It's cheap, and its main characteristic is that unless you are facing it...
