This checks every box at $1,199 price point if that is the kickstarter early bird price.

Very modest footprint.

Doug has been very busy making lots of new things.

1200 seems like a great deal if you can get it. 1500 is more like a motorized hg1 pricing. 2k is nuts.

Why is $2,000 nuts? The Monolith conical is $2,000.

Maybe I missed it, but I don't see if it's stepped or stepless?

If it's like the rest of their grinders, it is very closely stepped with pins. Much easier to control your position so moving back and forth between different grinds is easy and accurate.

Weber grinders are stepped (except for the very first generation of hg1?). Each step is 5 micron iirc

You are correct. I have one of the original HG-1. Wonderful stepless grinder.

Much cheaper (half the price?) than a 3 phase Robur S with those same burrs, and way neater for the home. Also way less than the 80mm EG1 which is way more than a same burr size Mazzer (I know, NOT comparable products AT ALL, just comparing one single aspect for fun).

And I agree why would anyone buy the HG2 now unless you actually don't have access to power, powered conicals aren't that noisy to begin with either, unless you hate electicity and like sort of working out one arm when making coffee.

Not in the market for conical myself though, waiting for a Lagom P100 to «compliment» my EK43S. Flat gang (not earth).
