T64 Grinder From Bella Barista

Cuprajake why do you bother coming on here? i mean all you do is literally argue with everyone? you know how the forum can be so why bother?

No, I made an observation that BB could have done better . That wasn’t an argument, however it did prompt a response that developed into an argument. Seems pretty normal for the internet …

The claim that all I do is argue with everyone is a bit hyperbolic - please don’t take that as an argument!

I’m not exactly sure what you mean by “you know how the forum can be so why bother?” but suspect that that might be why I bother! :-)

people get very defensive - thats what i mean.

theres a great feature for hiding people, i have quite a few on it, works a treat.

DavecUK i understand. But we live in a world where marketing is almost everything and like it or not BB will need those influencers to push the product, it will probably sell itself once it proves the performance/price but it needs a momentum. Would love to see this grinder to become popular so I can buy & try it

DavecUK It’s about burr size and throughput. I’ve explained why quite a few times in other threads, search for “burr packing,”.

Thank you. I remember you explained this before, but if memory serves me right, it also depends on the burr cut itself? I remember you saying at one point you compared two different burrs, and one burr took a long longer to grind than the other, even though they were the same diameter.

So I’m assuming that, for this grinder (T64) the optional speed is 800 for the burrs you tested, and maybe likewise for the SSP HU burrs BB is selling the grinder with?

Sorry I misread it. It just says RRP…….

I suggest you may want to take them to court.

Please do it after they’ve delivered the first batch of grinders if you could find it deep inside to be so kind.

Gagaryn I’m going to make a coffee not got time for this shit.

P.s. don’t buy one I’m sure you will be disappointed 😞 then you’ll have to take them to court twice 😜😎

It does seem a shame that a firm go to all the bother of finding something just a little bit different in a crowded marketplace, arrange to have it tested, arrange for the recommendations to be implemented, then offer some of the first batch to forum members at a better pay price than to the general public, yet for some the focus seems to be bitching, whether warranted or not……

dfk41 then offer some of the first batch to forum members at a better pay price than to the general public

The bitching as you put it, is simply because BB failed to advertise their product accurately - either in the images or the specs. I don’t believe they are intending to mislead, but getting this stuff wrong is a bit amateurish and I’m surprised you think it’s a “shame” to mention it. Your’e generally one of the first to call out misleading reviews but here you are cutting BB slack despite them being a bit sloppy on this one. You must be getting soft in your old age! 😉

Not sure what better price you are referring to -it’s been £459 for everybody, forum or public since it was announced as far as I know.

No it’s was £559 originally and you had a discount code to get it to £459

They have since opened that price up to everyone, as they said they would the first 20 were to get the code from my reading

Don’t think you can now.

The niche was totally different at the time and imo very competitively priced.

Now if you want a good 64mm you’re over a grand for a zerno or lagom p64

If you want bigger burrs that gets even crazier.

I personally don’t like the rate the 64mm grinders are getting pushed out. Ten a penny comes to mind, and most are fugly

Only one I quite like is the df64v, but they stall app.

Cuprajake No it’s was £559 originally and you had a discount code to get it to £459

I don’t think it has ever been for sale at £559 though. The initial offer on here was described as a £100 discount for the forum - and then from 25 March it would be offered to the public with a £75 discount.

However that’s not how things have played out - it’s only been offered at one price - £459 to everyone. This may be an introductory offer and it may go up to £559 at some point - only time will tell…

As above it was £549 as I took was looking at it

MediumRoastSteam But on Saturday, 23rd March, I checked the website and BB have lowered the price to £459 to the general public, appearing to have given up on the initial promotional strategy and opening the offer of £459 to everyone.

Thanks for correcting me, didn’t know that and was thrown by the email that was posted earlier showing BB as describing £459 as the “special launch price”. I simply took that at face value - didn’t appreciate that they launched earlier at a higher price and then relaunched at a lower price a few days later. Unfortunate for any poor enthusiastic early pre-orders.
