T64 Grinder From Bella Barista

FadedFrontiers

HarveyMushman Found that out the hard way 😅

🤣 Which ones did you end up with?

HarveyMushman

They were advertised as MP Red Speed burrs which I bought for a Mazzer grinder and at the time, this was a couple of years ago, I wrongly assumed that meant SSP. But they turned up unbranded.

It was my fault really but I didn’t realise red speed was just a coating used by other manufacturers at that point.

Looks like this grinder is now available for the general public from BB for £459. The discount code for forum members (£100 off) no longer works.

MediumRoastSteam the coupon gave 100GBP off which makes it 459GBP. I guess the anticipation was not great so they make it available to everyone, no coupon needed

dutchy101

I guess there’s still some of the 20 units at £459 available? It was going to be a £75 discount from the 25th.

Is it only me who has ordered one?

Most likely they have changed their mind on that. I haven’t ordered one - although I have to confess I’ve been tempted many, many times! - I already have a Niche Duo, so most likely it will be just more of the same. I don’t have a need for 2 grinders either, to the point I sold my trusty Niche Zero the other day :-)

At least 2 of us now👍🏻

delta76 - yes. That’s what I said.

The coupon was designed to give forum members a head start, that’s all, the first 20 were always intended to be a £459 launch only price.

The one I have is a very good grinder…..must get it packed for return.

It’s a great forum offer and very much appreciated - I can’t wait to get my hands on the grinder. I’ve also benefitted from the other BB forum offer for the Solo hand grinder

Keep ’em coming @DavecUK - cheers!

MediumRoastSteam

Gagaryn I’m pretty sure the BB one is made by Ningbo Grind Electric Appliance

Looks like you are correct. Bella Barista actually does list the manufacturer. Not on the product detail page, not on their listing page, but in the “recently viewed” section. 🤷‍♂️

Incidentally, not he same manufacturer as the df64.

delta76

MediumRoastSteam the manufacturer of df64 hit the jackpot so I don’t think they need to introduce new brand, only expansion of df64 line. It is the other manufacturers that need to catch up with new offerings.

Interestingly two years ago df64 was touted as NZ killer. Now almost every new cheap grinder in the market aims to be df64 killer

I just pointed out they are not the same! No reading in between the lines, no second guesses, no hidden agenda. Just pointed out, that’s all (as it happened to be side by side in the image).

I may not know much about the technical side of coffee, but I do know if @DavecUK recommends something, then it must be good! Remember, he is completely opposed to commercialism on this forum and in general. He does not take money in exchange for reviews (sales pitches) so he has no interest in recommending something that does not come up to his standards.

I think folks sometimes have short memories and if they were there have forgotten that cfuk existed for the original owner and a handful of selected members to rape and pillage members selling them a whole host of goodies.

Adrianmsmith

Totally agree (not sure about the second paragraph ) and would add…..

Why would @DavecUK reccomended something mediocre and open up the forum for a tidal wave of abuse in the weeks that follow.

Look at some of the comments on another thread when he takes some battering from some members who have niggles with a perfectly decent (sorry!!) New or should I say V2 coffee machine. ☕

I understand your point but that side of cfuk was invisible to me as an Aussie user.
I may have been a latecomer (not according to the missus) but I didn’t get any blatant marketing.
I’m not suggesting it didn’t happen and some of the aggression around the londiniums was disappointing but I basically joined the forum for access to Dave and his Bianca knowledge base.

delta76

MediumRoastSteam Just saying that it was expected, the manufacturer of df64 should have no incentive to make another grinder

HarveyMushman

‘Abuse, rape, battering…’

Some pretty harsh terms being thrown around here for very mild critique.

For a forum that prides itself on being friendly and independent there’s certainly a lot of animosity for anyone who dares to criticise certain things.

I choose my words very carefully…….ask yourself why if you want

Adrianmsmith

I’m just pondering if to order one to compare to the duo and my , now sold, df83.

It Can’t be worse than the battering @DavecUK gave my latest acquisition (😜) and am interested in the static part of the equation or this T64. Maybe it wasn’t aimed at me directly, just bad timing 🎯 haha.

Shouldn’t Lose too much depending which I decide to sell on, well, maybe!!

It would be better to choose less words, a lot less!
