It annoys the beejesus out of me when manufacturers use stickers instead of laser etching.
I regard it as a short cut that says “we’re not too concerned about appearance or longevity with this grinder and we couldn’t be faffed organizing things better so we thought we’d let you know that by putting a sticker on top instead of getting it laser etched.”
I didn’t like the first generation of DF64s or DF83s but I do like the DF64V and I’ve got a DF83V coming once the DF factory re-opens* and maybe it will be great, but that darned sticker will still annoy the heck out of me. So this is not a “let’s bash DF rant, and all hail the mighty Duo” thing. I like most of the DF stuff, but a sticker at this end of the price range? God spare me.
I know I shouldn’t get so upset about a stupid little sticker but I can’t help but wonder if the manufacturer takes a shortcut like that on the outside, what shortcuts have they taken on the inside, hidden from view?
Agree, it doesn’t necessarily follow but how do we judge a book?
(* They started their move to a larger factory during Chinese New Year and it may take up to a month before production is in full swing again.)
PS anyone got a valium? Sticker-induced blood pressure is getting dangerously high….
