Apparently they are announcing a new grinder tomorrow. At first I thought "Product Announcement LIVE" meant we could tune in for a video, but there is no time or anything listed. So, I think it just means the announcement will be posted tomorrow.

Looks like it'll be an electric HG-1.
Looks like it'll be a conical burr-set, do espresso and it doesn't have a hand crank as far as I can tell.

Interesting, the questionnaire asked if you'd be interested in crowd funding it. It looks really nice, but I guess it's still quite a bit of time before it's available.

Looks to be in good build quality.
I just joined the waitlist.
Wondering how tall it would be. Couldn't seem to find the product dimensions info.

Has anyone seen workflow with the magic tumbler? Are you just supposed to dump that into a portafilter with a funnel?
Also signed up for updates. Have been looking for a big conical to throw on my home bar and this could be a fit. Just hope Doug makes these in all clear anodized aluminum. Right now all I see is black and white.

I'm considering a Niche and a Lagom, and this seems like a logical middle ground. Product page says $2k retail, but the survey mentioned $1,500 retail and $1,200 with crowdfunding discount. I'd definitely be in the market at the $1,200 price point..... I think my wife would murder me if I spent more than that on a grinder.
I wish the campaign was live now so I could impulse buy it

Assuming this can grind with the same quality as the HG-1, I think he nailed it. I love this concept. I feel like there's something for everyone:
- large, high quality conical
- electrified
- variable rpm
- modest footprint
- affordable (value oriented)
The only thing I can't seem to figure is why buy the HG-2 if you can purchase this for nearly the same price? I must be missing something.
Edit: looks like the $1200 price point was an error, which now explains why the grinder seemed too good to be true. not sure I feel like this is affordable anymore for an electrified HG-1.

Yeah if this thing is going to cost 1,200 for crowdfunding, 1,500 expected retail, and listed at 2k, why bother with the HG-2 and are there any short cuts being taken to get to the price point?
