Versa Lab Grinder

[chast]

Has anyone used Versa Lab's M3 grinder? Pro vs cons?
It is unique in many ways but have read a lot of negative.
This would be used in a small espresso bar and I am not sure of the volume that will take place once I set it up. I have seen them in action on You Tube and might take a trip out to visit their facility to actually see one work.
Thanks

Never used one but a great espresso grinder based on most accounts. Even with a $1,700~ price tag most find something to bitch and whine about. Pretty true with anything you buy. It would be possible to use them in higher volume settings with the additional hopper/doser system. Later!

Thanks for the reply Shadow,
I am totally new to espresso and do realize the grinder is one of the key factors in producing a great product. Other posts I have read have noted some espresso bars have more than one type of grinder for different types of beans. I will probably purchase the Kony to start with and when I get out to CO to their facility to actually see one then I might go for it. I do not mind spending the money for a quality product so long as it stands up to its price tag.

Thanks
Charlie
