This is a Mahlkonig grinder, which is the same model that James Hoffman used in the World Barista Championship. The Mahlkonig grinder came out of a small restaurant that was closing. The cord has a small piece of electrical tape. It of course makes excellent shots of espresso and pour overs. The grinder will be shipped in two separate boxes (one for the grinder and one for the hopper) and will be sent within 1-2 business days after the payment is received. Good luck bidding!
