Check out what this crafty German has been up to. Nice looking.

It is amazing to me that a couple of hippies in a tent could have come up with something so pure as to inspire so many copies. Who knew?

Nice. I think they looked at a voodoodaddy'd Pharos too, given the lower burr support.

I sure would like to see what that magnet picks up after a couple weeks.

Looks well-desined and executed. Price point is on the high side for most hand grinders.

Imitation is a form a flattery...

The four-poster design is in fact not new in the grinder world (the Mahlgut is a 3 poster of course):

Definitely inspired design with some nice improvements but that's more expensive than a Pharos. Is there any potential issues from the 3 vs 4 support posts?

Pretty slick looking... Maybe some of these features will be worked into the Pharos 2

Nice, but too expensive, I paid 150 more for a k10PB, and I would gladly pay that extra for a motor and a stronger, heavier etc. body

It also doesn't look like there is much of a mechanism for burr alignment.

edit: I could be wrong. It looks like the outer burr is just mounted from under the plate instead.
