Hey,
A friend showed me this a while ago but it seems to be in Romanian. I haven't found any information here or anywhere else and was wondering if anyone has any useful information or experience with one..

This grinder is manufactured in my town, I was in the small factory that made them and I can answer some details.
More pictures from me and other fellow visits, and videos of the working grinder, here in the Romanian forum:

Try google translation, works pretty accurate.

They also make a espresso machine heavily 'inspired' by KVDW

Sure, as any other E61 group based machine looks like all others...

I suspect if John Bicht wasn't too old to pursue copycats like this one and the Titus legally none of them would be around. Sure, they changed/improved on some aspects of Versalab design, but if you put them side by side normal people would think its exact same product with different finish/color.

Am I converting currency right to see the price is about $1,400 in USD?
EDIT: Also, I love this google translate "I'm glad we have similar, very similar findings. Where do I think the lobsters are "the same," which is good."

Dienes has patents on anything that means handheld grinder with conical burrs, are you aware they sued anyone for copyrights?
Or, closer to our days, Porlex vs Rhinowares... and Hario vs ... world
Yes, price conversion is right, for the big professional version with two hoppers and counters.
The home version is cheaper, around $1000, for forum members only.

It is surprisingly low priced compared to the others... But if you look closely, the finish looks far from as good quality
