Gagaryn I don’t think it has ever been for sale at £559 though. The initial offer on here was described as a £100 discount

It was offered as initially intended (£559 rrp, £100 off with the discount code for forum members). That was like so for about 4 or 5 days. Only reason I know is because I kept checking and was tempted to buy one.

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.

Edit: just checked the calendar to make sure I got the dates right.

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

      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.

        HarveyMushman how glowing the review

        Depends on whose review. if James H gave it a glowing review, you can be sure it’s out of stock within a few hours.
        Lance reviewed the blind shaker and he only stated that the extraction was higher, not necessarily it tastes better, and sales of said tool skyrocketed. I am not a fan of Lance, but I’d be lying if I said I did not buy my blind shaker because of his video. I was always thinking it as an unnecessary tool.
        Not sure why the debate of price comes from. I’m seeing 382.5 GBP which means no VAT (+20% and it’s 459). No indication of sale price whatsoever

                So flippin what

                Did anyone else on this forums actually join it to read about coffee related products and get advice on certain items? Or did some of you just joined to debate the advertising ethics of a price that you have seen advertised in a way that you do not like?

                Do people not have a brain. Can we not just decide to buy it based on the price it’s offered.

                It’s getting boring just seeing lots of arguments of what words should be used in an advert.

                BORING

                Have you ever wondered if you’re washing powder or washing up? Liquid really is 5000% better than it was in 1970, which is approximately what it should be by now if you believe all the adverts in the meantime.

                Does it really matter if it says Sale or introductory offers

                It will not charge it’s performance or what you actually pay.

                I for one. Decided to order it and see how it goes. Just based on the advice and videos by @DavecUK

                If it does not live up to expectations then so what? I’m sure I have had much more expensive equipment that doesn’t. Based on what I have read I have decided to give it a try and fingers crossed i may even like it.

                    dutchy101 - it looks really good I have to say. It’s in my basket 🤪

                    But I already have a Niche Duo so it would be an indulgence rather than a requirement. I’ve been very good in keeping away from the “buy” button, and would be delighted to hear how you get on. 👍

                        But what price will it be by then?

                        I’m waiting for the day it arrives and the “not another one ” conversation.

                        I expect to have at least one for sale by July, but which one? Time will tell.

                        I’m Starting to wish I’d paid more attention to some comments by @DavecUK on other threads with the key word in the sentence. Let’s just say Lyn was the better half or the famous combo. Sometimes you need to play and decide for yourself!

                                MediumRoastSteam haha yeh!!!

                                The good news is there’s a Niche product in a Prime position to play with as well.

                                If all else fails the 1zpresso j ultra is all anyone really needs for espresso. ☕

                                  HarveyMushman sorry but I think there are better forums to debate the wording of an advertisement at length. On here we should be more concerned about the quality of the product and whether it may play to our needs . If the word “sale” makes you click the buy button and continue to make a purchase then I feel for you.

                                  I’m mainly interested to see what all the fuss is about surrounding SSP burrs

                                      To keep the discussion on this grinder, the main reason I am holding fire is that the product tested by Dave is not the same exact product being sold by Bella Barista. Maybe I am too fussy… But, for the same reasons why I bought the Niche Zero and the Duo, was that Dave tested, and tested, and tested, and tested, and tested and tested the grinders as they were to be sold, including the burrs - call it testing the whole package if you wish. So for me at least, I’ll wait and will let other people let me know if that grinder works well with the SSP burrs - rather than whichever burrs Dave has tested it with, which as per Dave’s review, it seems to work rather well, barring the unknown longevity.

                                        This thread is about BB offering a new grinder and a forum offer for discount, so it’s not off topic to mention things like introductory offers, coupons and sale prices.

                                        I find the ethics of retailers marketing interesting and I’m pretty sure I’m not breaking any rules by mention them. There are several other posts across multiple threads by many users of this forum that also mention the ethics of marketing, both by retailers and “influencers”. In fact it’s quite the hot topic on here - the fact that you find it boring is frankly irrelevant and certainly doesn’t warrant, what appears by your use of all caps, to be a tantrum.

                                        Sure this will change when the grinders start shipping and the focus of the discussion pivots to usage and performance. You might want to come back then.

                                          Curious why they don’t mark as “coming soon” like the rest of their equipment though - I just checked, and they completely removed it from the site - including the blog!
