Open Source Lever Project
{link} (2 group machine for $450 CDN) Would be a perfect parts machine for this project - maybe someone else in the Vancouver area could pick it up? I'd do it but I have a backlog of machines to restore

Huie-71 espresso grinders with 71mm Robur burrs
Sorry to have misinterpreted your impressions and put words in your mouth! My Chinese is rusty... Thanks for the English review - looks like an interesting grinder, especially for not much more than an HG one

That got me interested and I started digging around -...

Huie-71 espresso grinders with 71mm Robur burrs
I think the 4400 RMB is a deposit. I skimmed related threads on it briefly and apparently there are quite a few usability issues with it.
