Has this started?

I don't know if it's true, but I use the term "calibrate" very loosely and would not take it on faith that it comes out of the box "calibrated." From what I understand calibration in this context really just amounts to a black plastic ring being in a certain position at the point of burrs touching. All that is required to move the ring is the slightest bit of deliberate or inadvertent handling of the black ring. I wouldn't take on faith that it is in the right position coming out of the box, even if it is their practice to ship it in that position.

That's pretty cool! And you can run it with the lid open!

Not yet, the video is less than a month old and they need time for tooling and ramp up of production. I'm sure we'll get an update email from indiegogo when they're ready.

Very cool. Watching and will hold off on ordering one until the fix is installed in the new machines. Love it.

It was my understanding that Martin's staff calibrated each grinder before shipping.

Just got mine today, similar experience. Choked @ 20, way too fast @ 30. Didn't have time to test further today but I expect I'll end up around 25-27 for the particular coffee I was testing.

Mine, for sure, is. I've replaced the pump in it before. I think mine kicks into higher gear for the pull a lot faster than yours showed, and my OPV may also be higher-set than yours.

I see the ramp time is much quicker on yours. I'll go for a flow test next Wed when I do my weekly cleaning. Wish I could trust the pressure on the front panel.
