Coffee Appreciation

Thats not that much cheaper than usual for AliExpress. Theyre usually ~35. I have one and its a great travel grinder. Can't do super fine aeropress stuff and definitely not espresso but good for filter

So when I bought my c2 from AliExpress it was about £44 after all the taxes and other bits. It came in a posh cardboard box with the carry bag and brush - which didn’t seem like it would be economical if it was fake. I’ve watched the for a while on ali express to buy for other people, and you couldn’t get one for less than about £55 for quite a while, so dropping down to more like £35 all in (I assume it’ll be in that region with tax and delivery etc) seems odd to me. Although the c3 has been released, which may have had an effect.

My suspicion is that there might be places making fakes, but then again I don’t understand how they could make a facsimile and turn a profit. I’m curious either way! Fancy being the Guinea pig for this endeavour?

As for the c2, I think they’re a fantastic grinder for filter that is very hard to beat at that price point, but they’ve been climbing in price a bit and when you get nearer £80-100, I reckon there are better options. If you can get one in the region of £50, I don’t see much competing with it IME.

I’d also be tempted by the c2 max as the c2’s capacity is probably it’s only real minus point for me.
