Best praise vs top criticism for Mahlkönig E65S
“Not talking you out of it, either. I think most people assume that an espresso hobbyist wants to single dose and change coffee regularly, but after using my Weber Key Mk. ii for just two weeks and hating the workflow, I upgraded to a Mahlkönig E65S GBW and absolutely love it. I think you'll enjoy the GBW workflow, too. If you want to save a little money, consider the Fiorenzato All Ground Sense, which has 64mm flat burrs. You can get it for about $975 from Chris Coffee if you ask for the discount.”
“Sorry Pal, it’s a scam, was taken from a listing on the Home Barista forum. Listed originally for $8,200 so no way they now selling for $2.2k. [Post](https://www.home-barista.com/buysell/la-marzocco-linea-mini-r-white-and-mahlkonig-e65s-gbw-setup-charlotte-nc-t98979.html)”
