I'm thinking to get the Kinu M47 while on vacation. I also come across BPLUS Apollo, which I don't see much review/discussion about it.
Anyone here have experience on BPLUS Apollo?

You can see from the knob that they are associated with La Pavoni. It has a much different aesthetic to it. If you really like the way it looks, it might be worth trying it out, but otherwise the Kinu M47 already has rave reviews, and you're guaranteed to get a great a product. I'm somewhat risk averse so I'd go with the Kinu.

The La Pavoni Lever Brass Group Piston Part No. 314044 is interesting.

To my inexperienced eyes looks like similar products in terms of kinematic setup and build quality.
The Bplus is cheaper too. A shootout would be appreciated!

There's an active La Pavoni Lever Machine group on Facebook. You might check there for more input. I believe the designer (Arthur Yang) of the mill is active in the group as well. It is a very helpful group.

I recently bought and tested Apollo grinder. So impressedwilsonkichoi wrote:I'm thinking to get the Kinu M47 while on vacation. I also come across BPLUS Apollo, which I don't see much review/discussion about it.

Just tested the grinder Apollo Bplus: I had read it was a good product, however after having seen and used it, I have to admit that is a true mechanical masterpiece. The precision of the details and the maniacal execution reminds me some swiss watches. Very easy to set up (zeroing), a solid frame, a cult grinder, a perfect companion for my EuroPiccola. I am sure from now on I will be always grinding in "manual mode", no more AC voltage, much more fun!

I was going to buy the Kinu m47 but now I am hesitating.
I don't have facebook but curious how the people in that Pavoni group like the Apollo and if they compared it to the Kinu m47?

I do not know the Kinu. I was extremely positively impressed when I recently bought and tested the Apollo
