If anybody is trying to order one, it looks like they added another run of indiegogo reserve units for Q12023:

Gone some months now and I am curious of what burrs other users prefer. I have tried SSP HU and Mazzers Food Friendly, both are good but I prefer the profile from Mazzer. Almost only drink espresso but you who also drink filter coffee what burrs do you prefer?
Tjyven So far i only have the Stock burrs to play with.. I am really enjoying the output from this grinder, from Workflow to Taste. The espresso flavours are very well balanced/sweet and smooth. Clarity is certainly not its strongest point, but the balance and sweetness easily makes up for it.
Interested for filter using this stock burrs also provides very good brews. The Mazzer style burrs, when used in conjunction with this grinder, outputs very little fines which is very surprising, given the experience i had with other grinders with similar burrs.
I find my Hu SSP give more acidity too

Tjyven My RPM is generally Max at 1200 rpm for espresso and around 200-400 for filter.
Depending on coffee the Max RPM tends to blend the flavours, decreasing alot of harshness for coffee which are of lesser quality or roast. Recently i had a Tim Wendelboe espresso roast which tasted very muted at higher RPM, lowering the RPM brought out the acidity and characteristic of the coffee.
Oops. I’ve just pre-ordered one for Q4
Looks like a interesting grinder - for not crazy money…
I hope so…. another 3 months on, how are people finding it? My budget only stretches to the stock Mazzer SJs
Just seen this on Instagram. Looks like there might be a review of sorts coming soon from this coffee shop that has been lent Brandon’s grinder to use for a bit.

Great. I’m excited, just 6 months to wait!
simonc well this is disappointing as a review. I guess Brandon’s sister drove it to them and waited and took it back. doesn’t sounds like they used it much and sadly no detailed review of workflow, cleaning etc.
As I think I have written earlier in this thread the only thing I dont like with the machine is that you need to press on/off a few times to get all the grinds out. Doesnt take long time but still.. And by doing that it is really low retention, usually very close to zero.
simonc agreed, anyone could tell you how slick it looks!
The Indigogo campaign has shipped and the retail price is going up from £750 to £1200 at the end of the month in case anyone was considering it, you should order soon.
Also saw this, quite the increase
Will put slot of people off as it’s already hardly talked about
