Comment on Review: Mahlkonig Vario Grinder by Kris

I will lay my cards on the table…everything should be made in stainless steel.

That said…let us not get too wrapped up in the plastic debate, polycarbonate is the king in the plastic world. It has highest impact absorbancy, highest heat resistance and will not degrade in sunlight (like ABS). Furthermore it is hygenic and it will not rust to state two very obvious qualities. As plastics go it is the best, varieties known best are Lexan. Yes it is plastic, though I would suggest it is the best material for the job.

Having sounded like an advertisement for the plastics industry, I will now go and make a cup of coffee and hope my stainless steel coffee maker will now forgive me for my outburst.

Ok, that’s long enough with no more efforts. Laughed my ass off at these. I think though, I laughed hardest at Jay Fox calling Jim the “little shit who keeps mixing up Kenco’s beans for instant with their beans for ground!”

(also the response from Mr Makusa “Defiling the holy Kenco!” kept me chortling for ages).

Jay gets the Aeropress.

Runner up – Tim Varney’s effort. Tim may get the surprise mentioned in the original post.

Honorable mention to Mike White for filthy-mindedness.

Thanks everyone!
