Has anyone heard any new info on this grinder? Seems like a great concept, especially the integrated air system to clean out the burrs and shoot....for zero retention. I haven't heard of any other specs on it, just a couple pics here and there.

It's the engineering of the R120 mashed in with E series doserless grinders/ with timers and a 100mm flat burrset. I don't think they're many out in the public hands yet.

Interesting, with the digital grind dial setting and air cleaning system with apparent zero retention, I would assume they are aiming at the single dosing crowd, or the possibility of giving cafes or home enthusiasts the option of switching back and forth between beans with less waste. But the 100mm burrs would tell me this unit could be used in a commercial setting if a larger hopper is available....which I'm sure there will be. The concepts seems to be a very cool all around unit.

It's a worm gear drive. It'll probably have a numerical value on the lcd like the Fresh line though.
