Glad I dropped out - I would look like popeye if I was still hand grinding 😂

Cuprajake October, what happened to August?

Remind me of the year again…..perhaps they went to the Vectis design school

Inspector

Cuprajake Apparently shipment starts Around August/September and takes about 30-45 days to arrive. That would have been quite disappointing if I didn’t have a grinder and waiting for this to arrive.

I know it’s Kickstarter concept but come on, shipment supposed to be in late July and now around August/September. I better forget about it and be happy with my niche for few months more :)

Don’t forget the Niche Zero got significantly delayed back in 2018 too. I believe there was a problem with the cups. So best to just not worry about it and, when it turns up, it turns up.

Inspector my grinder is in the first batch as well. Hopefully it lives up to expectations 🤞

MediumRoastSteam You have a better memory than me matey! The only delay I can remember, was in between Niche thinking the product was ready for launch on Kickstarter, and Dave becoming involved. I might of course, be totally wrong!

MediumRoastSteam

dfk41 - you are wrong indeed, “matey”. 😉

There was a delay of a couple of months as there was a problem with the cup production and Martin wanted to get everything right.

dfk41

MediumRoastSteam In that case, I bow to your better memory…..I wonder if the Timemore delay problem is either documented or trivial?

MediumRoastSteam

dfk41 - I don’t really want to argue about a delay. As mentioned here, delays are just a fact of life, it happens, what can we do. Delay for a grinder on a KS platform…. First world problems for sure.

It’s not a surprise, I’m generally more shocked if a project completes on schedule, in any industry.

dfk41

MediumRoastSteam I am not arguing…….you stated Niche had a delay for a couple of months over a cup. No doubt this was explained. The delay at Timemore as far as I know, is not explained. Why should a KS launch have exemption for launching on time? Timemore could easily put this to bed with a clear brief

MediumRoastSteam

dfk41 - It’s ok. I’m just saying that delays are common and can happen. As long as expectations are managed, specially with regards to new products, all is good. It’s best to have something delivered that works well rather than receiving a prototype.

Cuprajake

us/canada is down to getting certification

dfk41

MediumRoastSteam rather than receiving a prototype.

Surely that on the whole, is exactly what you get though

MediumRoastSteam

dfk41 - Maybe. Maybe not. Who knows. Whoever ordered will find it out in due course I suppose.

Inspector

They couldn’t cope with demand imo. They weren’t expecting campaign to be that successful, plus some certification problems along the way for some countries.
