how much longer do you have to wait for the new part? I’m sure it’s a exercise in patience with a dose of frustration to have it in house but not able to use it!

once you get the part, I’d love to see your work flow with it.

I saw a random YouTube video of the KD and I had a slight concern. The top wood part seemed kinda loose and moved around when he was handling it. Hopefully not a big deal as long at the part fits properly and can be tightened. Also something on instagram where a guy had to re-glue the bottom wood piece because it had come loose.

      Hoffman does technical reviews frequently… and can be pretty critical as well. He has stated in the past he doesn’t like to review crowdfunded products and waits until they become regularly available if I remember correctly.

      Cuprajake Sorry, never heard of Kevin Rocksalt either. :-)

          maybe the KD folks are quite glad there isn’t more buzz and hype, so they can focus on getting the Devas out to KS and Indiegogo backers. They said themselves, that upscaling is a hard task. Why create more hype and demand without being ready at this time.

          The product itself is fantastic. It’s basically a P64 with better looks, a great solution for zero retention without bellows and all that for half the price.

          One thing that seems to bother people here in Germany is that i runs on battery. To me it’s no concern, but some people would not buy it just because of that.

              I’m in agreement, I would rather have simplicity than a battery that needs charging and then replacing at some point.

              I don’t see the benefit of wireless as you will park the grinder next to your espresso machine which in all likelihood will have a cable that needs to be plugged in. Even if you have something like a Robot then you still need a kettle plugged in. It’s virtually impossible to have a fully wireless home espresso setup so why even bother.

              I think it looks great in every other way, perhaps they can go wired in the future or someone can hack it.

                  I took it with me on a sailing trip. That was convenient, But even at home i can clean up the espresso corner easily without unplugging…

                  It needs recharging every 2-3 months. I don’t see a problem there.

                    i was joking btw

                    One less cord and more convenient. I’ll take the battery, no problem.

                    mackerel ah yes, now i see you did. I just copied the video link and pasted it here. Luckily it displayed as a video.
