Kafatek Monolith

[Melbroaster]

Yep they go from announcement that a production run is starting to sell out in a few hours total

Ordered one. I have a bit of a collection now. I single dose with a Elektra Nino and Compak A8, so the Monolith will be a very compact alternative.

People that have ordered previously, what was the shipping cost? Shame the USD/AUD is so bad

[Melbroaster]

Its $200 usd

[QUOTE=deity6667;599300]If anyone has any questions i own both the flat and the conical
Of course you got the 220v version for NZ, did you have to buy a 220v cable for it and was there no worries working it from there?

Just wondering Melbroaster did you manage to get a conical?

[Melbroaster]

Didnt on that run. Still hope to....

[jaredw]

I got my flat in the last run. I will echo deity6667's sentiment. Love this grinder for single dosing. Now considering a conical...

[Smee]

one thousand million eh? Guess we're just gonna have to take your word for that.

Now you're just trying to hide your real age old chap

Way to go. One conical left.

Conicals sold out now, a few flats left.

Yep, they went while I was umming and aghing about it. Conical or flat? Black bits (but they might get scratched, look better though). Have you ever seen such a high priced item sell out so quickly?

Problem is if we get the email at that sort of hour (I think I saw it at 6am) and they sell out at 7am, what hope have we (Aus & NZ time zones) got to get them?

really thinking about the flat. i currently run a kony-e. i'd hope that the flat would:
- improve what i get in the cup
- waste less coffee (currently have a hopper on the kony and im going thru 45 g to test a grind size adjustment)
- be quieter
- lead me to experiment with grind adjustment more (and maybe even different beans)

re: grinders i've gone from a stepped bezzera (junk) to a pharos (unusable for mine) to a super jolly (v good) to a kony-e. really noticed the change to a kony. consistently better shots.

does anyone think i'll have a similar result with the monolith flat? as in a noticeable improvement in espresso results? also i'm not 100% convinced that the waste-less single shot approach won't be a huge let down compared to the current convenience of beans in a hopper (albeit with waste of purging). i see videos of people sweeping out fines and measuring beans and just wonder if it is for me.
