Re: What grinder is this?
A bargain for the purchaser in this case yes.....but I am not sure that someone hasnt made a serious mistake...
The shopkeeper price of the Solis 166 derivative (or original) is RRP minus 20% plus freight. The Solis RRP is $189.00, & you can do the maths. Which means the retail price in this instance was way below the reseller / shopkeeper purchase price no matter how you make the calculation.....
If you figure that the shopkeeper sold the grinder for $80.00 at retail (as long as we are taliking Oz dollars) , it doesnt take long to calculate that
a) the shop concerned not only made no margin/profit but,
b) the shop concerned actually sold the item for (a lot) less that it cost the shop to buy the item in the first place.
I dont think that anyone including starpucks is in business to knowingly sell stuff without making a profit so....
very well done Anthony, but I wouldnt expect a repeat performance!

Re: What grinder is this?
From what Ive read about the place its the same grinder rebadged for different markets around the world.Originally posted by Anthony link=1145147364/0#0 date=1145147364Some time back, following an internet newsgroup lead, I ordered a small domestic burr-mill grinder direct from a Starbucks branch in Sydney; cost about $80.
It seems to work well, grinds v. fine when required. It has a small, almost invisible starbucks brand, but the main visible name is Barista.
I was told it was in fact a rebadged de longhi. But when looking at the Cosmorex site listed here, I see a Solis Scala 166 which is totally identical.
So who makes them? Is there a proper name? Just like to know what Im using ......
Solis 166, Dualit (UK),
DeLonghi, Starbucks Barista, Bodum (USA, UK),
Mulino (USA), Maestro (USA).
I bought it locally in Aust as the DeLonghi KG100 (still avail in retailers now for the $150 mark)
I believe that Solis is the OEM, but stand to be corrected.
So for $80 appears you scored a bargain ;D
