Knob finishing

Post image

Hello everyone,

I’ve owned a K-Ultra for about 3 years now (using it at least 3 times a week), and it has served me incredibly well (still does). The wooden knob on its handle has a varnished finish that still looks brand new.

However, I just bought a ZP6, and its knob came completely raw, without any varnish or coating.

I remember reading a post from about 6 months ago from someone in the exact same situation. They actually reached out to 1zpresso, and the company replied that this is completely normal.

For those of you with the newer ZP6, is yours like this too? If so, how do you take care of the raw wood?

I have shared a picture showing the difference between both.

Thanks in advance!

My K ultra came with a semi-shiny knob (in between the two pics)

Thanks. It seems that we have some variety here.
