I thought about getting an Orbit on their last drop, but already had a Zerno on order. Can't wait for my Zerno!

Is anyone aware of when the next drop will be?

Missed the last drop and regretting it now!

I don't think a specific date has been announced, but from some things I've seen mentioned on Discord the next pre-sale window will likely be later in July or August. Make sure you get your name on the Zerno email list and you'll get a heads up for the next drop.

A Zerno "Thomas the Tank Engine" special edition may be rumored to be coming out at some point.

Well......if i get to paint one.

Just for you...

^^^^ ......the majesty of it !!!!!!!!!

Though now i'm thinking.......What would Doc do ?

I'm curious how Zerno owners who have used more high-end grinders find the grind quality and user experience. I've been using a Mahlkonig Tanzania as my brew grinder for many years, and I have it modified with the bean shaker removed and a new interlock and short hopper I modeled and printed. It works very nicely, but lately I've been moving away from having big and noisy commercial equipment in the kitchen. I nearly jumped on the Zerno last batch, but couldn't make up my mind on configuration. I'd be interested in trying it with a filter-specific burr (SSP Unimodal? Cast V2?) instead of the Tanzania, but I'm not sure whether it would be a downgrade in grind quality or if I should look into something a little more ridiculous like a P100 or Titus.

What burrs do you have? I have the LS in my 804 and I still use my P64 w/ Mizen/MP all the time.

I have the stock machined blind burrs. I use the Tanzania exclusively for filter, so it would be to replace that, with no consideration for espresso.
