The Lab Sweets of each series, 804 and 807, are the same basic design. In the 804 series, the 804 Lab Sweet is a mirrored finish (gorgeous!) with the Sweet discs installed. On the 807 Lab Sweet, the discs are the main difference. It uses a tray instead of a vibrator plate like the KR804 and KR807 models, but the basic body is black or white.
**"Sweet" discs are the same for the 804 and 807 "Sweet" grinders - cast steel, different composite which affects the flavor, bringing out the sweetness of the bean and helping to eliminate bitterness.
