New toy just arrived from Germany.

Build quality is very good.
Only used it two times this evening for Aeropress brew but the grind quality seems to be very good.

I feel like when the HG-One arrived... I just want to keep on grinding more coffee.

Welcome to the H-B family.

Have you tried it for an espresso grind?

Congrats! A comparison with the LIDO would be much-appreciated, as well as more pics! Enjoy.

There's not a lot of detail up on their site yet but it certainly looks to be a nice piece of kit from the photos.

Most of the information seems to be on the Facebook page. I understand that they're introducing the C40 only initially with stainless steel burrs and later will introduce a smaller c20 (20 g) model and also titanium burrs.

I want to play with one of these grinders. Looks like a better travel grinder than the Hario Slim I'm using now.

These are selling in Germany for 128 Euro, approximately $169 and that is including Mwst, German tax so, price in US should be not more than that and probably even less.

This looks like fantastic little grinder and its seems the burrs for it are custom made which is interesting. The grind adjustment is also very nicely done.
