One of the main questions people ask themselves while they're researching a grinder is whether or not they want to get a stepped grinder -- which would allow for easily changing between two disparate grinds like espresso and french press -- or a stepless grinder -- which gives you excellent control over very minutely dialing in the coffee's grind. The Vario was released earlier this year as a hybrid grinder that allows for both easy changes between different grinds and for slightly tweaking the grind to produce better shots. If you find that you're stuck between two steps on your grinder, the Vario may be the solution. In this video, Gail talks to us about the machine's features, functionality and demonstrates how it's used.
