[Fumes]

I managed to snag a mid-grade espresso machine on ebay for a low-grade price, and I need to upgrade my grinder. If I get the espresso bug I will need to buy an HX machine at some point (so I am told), but I'm in the market for a top of the line grinder NOW.

We mostly drink drip and press coffee, so I want a grinder that won't throw a lot of fines. That's the main thing. My wife complains constantly about the sludge, and there's no arguing with sludge. At the same time I'd like to make a passable espresso on Saturday morning.

The Vario seems to offer the best of both worlds-- easy to switch from coarse to fine, and by all accounts it does both very well. I'm about to pull the trigger on this guy. Any reason I shouldn't?
