dfk41 I think it’s all guesses at the moment. I agree with everyone else that £1000 seems incredibly unlikely given how much Mazzer’s other grinders cost. Of course they might have cut some costs but looking at the videos of it coming apart, it looks as solid as their other offerings.
All that’s confirmed at this point is Mazzer themselves have said to multiple people (Dave included at Host Milan) that they’re selling direct to consumer (which they did for the first time with their Omega hand grinder) and it’ll be £1000/1000EUR.
Mazzer confirmed to me yesterday directly that the retail link above is incorrect on both pricing and availability.
I think this is a situation where we’ll all need to believe it when we see it. I agree that £1000 seems incredibly unlikely for an Italian-built single doser from Mazzer.
