simonc agreed, anyone could tell you how slick it looks!

simonc I wish he would stop all that hand waving…very distracting.

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

I may be getting one to play with next month.

Hitting the top end - lots of choice for that money( or less !)

I bought it when the price was £459+tax and I think that was a really good price but with this new price there are many really good grinders to compete with.

So after a 9 month wait, mine finally arrived this morning… except it doesnt work. The motor spins when I turn on the switch, but the on off button does nothing.
I have emailed KD and hope that there is a simple fix. It’s been a long wait and was excited to try it. Guess I am waiting a few more days now.

simonc Sounds like an In Transit problem. Hopefully it passed QC before it was sent and is no more than a loose connection

ive heard of this before, happend to someone else

Waiting for confirmation on which terminal to put the blue wire back on to.

Sounds like they’ll get it fixed relatively quick. Hopefully just a small hiccup in an otherwise great grinder based on my own experience.

from the marks id say middle , but wait for confrimation

Looks nice and tidy in there 👍 - sure you will be up and running shortly !

Cuprajake I was going to guess left, but you were right. I waited for confirmation… support is amazing, only 20 mins for a reply.

The white plastic behind the blue cable connector is supposed to be attached to the plastic zip tied near the left terminal which is a battery support, but in transit it obviously broke when mishandled. Makes you realise what happens with the couriers.

Now to get on with seasoning the burrs..

Also discovered that cold starting doesnt work for espresso setting.. nothing came out and had to drop 2 notches. But with a hot start all good.

I’ve now put a kilo of beans though to season, Amazon £8/kg and can pour 16g beans in in one go and it grinds fine for espresso.

However the sheet with the grinder says touch point is 9. I think it’s starting to touch at 9.2.
I just ground at 9.5 and a 1:2.8 shot of light roast took just 33 seconds. I’m worried I’ve not got much room to go if I want to grind finer for longer shots or do long preinfusions.

Is this normal with flat burrs or a particular issue with the ND?

I could stall my minima quite happily with my Vario and can do on the Niche (I know it’s conical )

I don’t know what the ND is, but it doesn’t sound as if things are right, the grinder should be able to grind fine enough to get a longer shot than that, even with light beans, especially if you are so close to touching?

DavecUK I meant KD Kopi Deva.

Yeah so far the experience with this has not been great. Customer service however is very good so confident I’ll get it sorted.
