    Yeah I don’t doubt how good it is. But given that it’s a newish company with no proven track record , it’s hard to choose this instead of the niche when the price is about the same?

    Considering the review by Lance H, if its close to Niche price then thats a good price!

    No question that it's a disincentive to ordering. Still .... thinking ....

    Shipping out of China / Taiwan in this case is extremely expensive unless it's done in huge bulk or subsidised by the Chinese government like all the stuff on eBay & AliExpress is.

    Sounds about right

    I saw that shipping cost and I’m just like wtf? Shipping is almost 1/3 of the cost of the grinder, seems too high??

    also at that final price, you can get a Niche for about the same directly from their website right?

    agree definitely tempting at that price point

    Lance Hedrick review is up: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xAZCP_4gU54

    Sounds like a pretty strong contender. Looks wise not as polished as others, and agree on the weird colour choices.

    At under $1k landed, consider me tempted...

    so I did a little digging after reading through the posts and watching of the videos. The company that makes Femobook is registered under the same address as 1zpresso, so even if they claiming to be a different company, there is definitely a strong connection - perhaps a spin-off to focus on electric grinders?

    Thanks Blues1143 for the heads up on Hoons videos.

    The unit is larger than I realised, thought with the adjustment collar that it was from an 1zpresso hand grinder with a size similar to the Arco, but seems to be only design inspired.
    Also, apparently not made by 1zpresso, but wonder if there is some kind of connection there?
    Does seem to be noisy, Hoon did a video today comparing to the Niche and commented its noisy, also has a nasty high pitch to it too.

    Sound can be very misleading on amateur video. I remember when I first saw a video of the Decent and when the pump came on it sounded like someone was using a jack hammer to drill through a double brick wall. In the flesh, it's certainly a funny old sound but not especially loud at all.

    Now Hoon is saying correction - femobook and 1zpresso not related so I'm confused.
Working...
