I think i already saw a very similar model imported from China here in Bangkok, but i don't know the importer name nor if they sale by single unit.

I tried to place an order but only option was for pickup. Anyone else have this issue? For the price it is worth a roll of the dice but not willing to fly to Europe for it:) I will have to email them to see what their policy is on international shipping.

Am thinking of buying it and getting it sent via freight forwarder.

Can try IG @thegluons, that is where i got my set from, i understand he ships to USA. Tell him u got referred by me.

Hey,
test willingness or kindness of HB members if anyone is willing to send one to you after picking it personally (if that's the only option)....
I see this grinder as veeeeery tempting, how it looks, the construction and burrs and the price...if I haven't bought Lagom already, I would go for this one immediately.

Cheers!

Glad you like it! I also placed my order with @thegluons. I got to know about this grinder directly from David, because I bought my Lelit Mara X from him too. Just now I visited his place and he has a unit to be collected by a buyer. He showed me and I was quite impressed with how well built it is.

Can't wait for it to arrive!

Anyone knows if they are releasing a North American 110v version soon?

I'm in touch with @thegluons for a 110v NA unit.
He's getting back to me tomorrow with a quote including shipping to Canada.

Any insight on the titanium coated burrs? Are they the ECM burrs? It's +60 usd for the coated burrs vs steel Italmill.

Just weighing if it's worth it considering I will likely end up getting SSP unimodal at some point.

I'll keep you guys posted on the availability of the G-IOTA in 110v but, so far so good!

I ordered the steel italmill burrs because I am very sure that I will fit the SSP High Uniformity burrs upon receiving the grinder.

I don't know who makes the titanium coated burrs but I figure I might as well allocate the additional cost for it into the SSP. Total cost is still less than a Niche Zero

I did found an importer in Bangkok.
The nice surprise is that he ask me to test the grinder, so he gave me one of his sample model...for free
I probably will post some photos later.

Sounds interesting. Do we have some feedback about retention and cup quality (espresso and filter) compared to the Niche?
