I ordered the Robot on Friday, November 1st and FedEx delivered it on Tuesday, November 12th.
FYI: a signature is required for delivery.

I'm having fun dialing in my grind and workflow, making some nice shots.
Enjoy!

Edit: it was shipped FedEx Express, so once it's been shipped, it will get here quick!

Thank you my friend. So not anywhere near as long as I had thought it might take. I hope my Kruve espresso glasses get here in time. Amazing setup, Robot, Kinu M47, Kruve Propel glasses. Going to be one heck of a holiday!

I am working round the clock to do things as quickly as possible. I make them all by hand and it takes time. There is a small backlog now due to 2 factors - The past few weeks I have made nothing but barista versions, usually it is probably 60% baristas. I can make 4 regular versions in the time it takes to make 1 barista robot.

The other factor is the aluminium. previously it was 10% aluminium and 90% green, now it is 50/50. And I can only POLISH (not completely assemble and test) 6-8 Robots a day.

Anyway we are expecting all aluminiums to be sent today or tomorrow and then I can start more greens.

You could jack up the price for the Barista model and the polished version and see where that will lead you...

Anyone give advice on where to buy from a UK Perspective?

I assume most have gone for the cafelat store?
Paul posted about Germany previously.

Apologies if this should be else where.

Thanks

The price is 1/ the size of the scale. Which is annoying.

Pyxis will fit for sure on the robot. a comparison with regular scale

I purchased mine in the German shop, they are independent from Cafelat (not owned by Paul) but they cooperate and I have seen in Paul's isntagram photos of Robots shipped to Cafelat.de.

Might be slightly more expensive but you do not need to pay any additional import duty or VAT, plus you get the 2 years EU warranty. Also is shipped much faster, only few days.

I've been loving my Robot, just got it two weeks ago! Anybody know roughly how many pounds/kg I would register on a bathroom scale for 9 bars? The manual says 17kg is roughly 6-7 bars, but I'm wondering what I should push for to try out closer to 9 bars.

It should be linear. So if 6-7 bar is 17 kg, the 9 bar would be 22-26 kg.

That said, 9 bar is neither desirable nor recommended. It's not desirable because it doesn't correspond to what other machines actually produce. And it's not recommended because there is some concern that the cast aluminum body of the Robot might be susceptible to breaking over time.

I pulled shots at 8-9 bar for a while. Then I dropped down to 6-7 bar and I can't tell the difference except that it's easier to do.
