I was going to order off Alixpress but then it popped up in a GoogleAd for my region's Amazon store with a discount code. I thought it was available through a Geordie(?) shop called META coffee
but searching now looks like he's based out in Malaysia.So AliX for now I guess? They're even cheaper now, down to £41 with free shipping which is mindboggling.
Edit: Sigma Coffee have it for £65, black or grey only.

Had grinder upgraditis bad the last few weeks. The Kinu is great but I know I'm not getting the most out of filter and it's a ball ache to dial-in deep on espresso. In the space of 48 hours I went from almost buying a secondhand 078s (£600) to settling on a brand new Ode Gen 2 (£285) as I reckoned all I need is a filter grinder, then a 1zpresso ZP6 (£185), then the Q2 (£80) and ended up actually buying the new 1zpresso Q Air (£50).
Purple cos technically it's my 3yo's grinder to help daddy make coffee. She says it's much prettier than mine.
Even without seasoning this morning's Clever Dripper brew is juicier than the Kinu with noticeably less fines and boulders left at the end. I hope it's not just placebo at having a new toy or a one-off. It grinds a little slower and adjustment is the stupid clicks system but to me it basically tastes like a Comandante for 1/5th the price. Feels solid enough that the plastic doesn't put me off and it weighs nothing compared to the Kinu too, perfect travel option. Short handle is really fun to spin too!
So, yeah, Ive had it for less than 24hours and only made 4 cups but would recommend. It's mad for the price. Comandante experience for 50 quid.
