MediumRoastSteam Inspector I know it’s Kickstarter concept but come on, shipment supposed to be in late July and now around August/September 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.
dfk41 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.
Milko 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.
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.
Emc2 Timemore has started shipping the first batch of grinders. https://www.facebook.com/groups/www.timemore.sculptor/permalink/660649392687460/
Milko Second batch shipping “Soon” is 64s. Not sure what that might mean in terms of time but the address details are final by August 17th.
Milko @dfk41 I don’t follow, sorry. My backer number’s in this second batch though so I look forward to finding out sooner or later. My attitude to Kickstarter is to more or less ignore all delivery estimates until I see a shipping notification in my inbox so I’m pretty relaxed about the whole thing personally.
