I came across what I think might be the first retailer offering OE's LIDO 2 while checking Twitter today. First of many, one hopes?

Edit: I'll volunteer to keep this post updated with other retailers offering the grinder as they appear, in case the info. might be useful to anyone.

I've had it listed (in Saudi Arabia) since it was offered wholesale. Can't say enough good things about. It has a special purpose as well, as it won't break from grinding blond coffee!

Five so far, so I need to do some work explaining why it worth the price tag compared to Porlex and Skerton. One of our users posted a nice photo of his Lido2, and it downed on me that the online images don't communicate how large and heavy it is compared to other hand grinders!
