They have just launched their new Key Coffee Grinder, it is currently live on Indiegogo I believe 🙃

@Drekly Yes, I think that you are spot on there.

Don't forget, as an early adopter we were offered a special price, and also paid a deposit approximately 6 months before the final payment and shipment.

But yes, I do think that you are safe with the pounds for dollars conversion.

@Usagercoffee It looks great but I'm after big beautiful flat burrs!

@EricC That's a very good point! Knowing my luck I'll order the EG-1 and they'll announce a new EG-2 with early bird pricing! It is 5 years old now, and we've seen a HG-2...

Interesting! That's a relief (if I buy an EG-1) but also kind of sad, as I'm sure there are numerous ways people have discovered it could be improved. I hear some talk of it jamming easier than other high value grinders, and of the wipers tearing, for example. The new magnetic grinding tumbler on the key looks like a fantastic innovation too.

I have the first EG-1, with no problems, I 'm so happy with this I property never will replace it, maybe I will upgrade to the new magnetec burr's, the wipes I only replace few times, they hold minimum for a year or more in a home setup

I never jam my grinder, no matter how fine I go with super light 'imposible' roasted beans, The Eg-1 grind every thing, no jamming 🥰

That sounds perfect, thanks for the confidence boost! Looking forward to their next stock delivery!

Yes! I joined yesterday actually! I've been reading through all the EG-1 Owner's thread posts - it's the place with the most critique of the machine I think, you get to see very real issues that users have had. On further reading, the support from Weber workshops seems to be unfortunately hit-and-miss, with seemingly more effort being put into marketing than support.

I still want an EG-1, but fingers crossed the machine I order will work perfectly and won't have issues! It sounds like yours is a good example.

Mine gets dispatched on the 20th (tomorrow) 😬😬😬

@Drekly I just saw your post. I'm not sure if you ordered yours, but I've put mine up for sale. It's hugely discounted compared to buying it directly and paying import fees and it's only a couple of months old

Unfortunately, I had already had my machine for a week or two before your message! Terrible timing, I would likely have bitten your hand off for it.

Out of interest, why did you decide to sell so soon after owning one?
