OE LIDO 2 Manual Coffee Grinder Prototype Demo

[ScareYourPassenger]

I think it was mentioned before that the burr is the same from the lido 1. This might mean it has he same feeding issues as before, something I was hoping for resolution on. The lido 1 still works great and they seemed to have fixed some minor annoyances.

In no real order.

1. Markings for burr adjustment.
2. There may be less static on the lower section due to removing plastic.
3. Easier to clean. Something that is not easy on the lido 1 without special tools.
4. Alignments don't seem to be necessary.

I can't conclude that he might have feeding issues based on that utube.  Time will tell

The lido 1 still works great and they seemed to have fixed some minor annoyances.

In no real order.

1. Markings for burr adjustment.

The adjustment knobs/turnings seemed a bit putzy for my style, though I will await cylinder in hand.

2. There may be less static on the lower section due to removing plastic.

Maybe memory isn't serving me but I remembered the Lido 1 as having a glass receptacle into which the grinds dropped.  Or is memory disserving me?

I am trying to figure out why Doug didn't grind with it.  I kept going, "Come on Doug, grind with the da** thing."

[sonnyhad]

Yeah, I would like to see him grind with it and Doug pulling a shot for Barb and himself!
That would have put the icing on the cake in my opinion!

They probably can't afford fresh coffee anymore! I've sent them a bag in the past just to say thanks for the "above and beyond" things they do for me every now and then. Maybe I should do so again.

OK, I'm in on the second lido2.

Bingo.  Need 3 more to make the second LIDO 2 a reality.  Who is next?

Dave,
Throw me on the list for the 2nd Lido.

They are falling like flies.  Let's get two more and we will have a twin flying around the country.

[Dmsweatt]

I'm in if there is any room left.

I'm in if there is any room left.

  DMSweatt in.

...and then there was ONE spot left.  Who is feeling the love?

[MSH]

In!!!
Pretty much a formality that I will buy the Lido2 to compliment my Lido1, but I wouldn't mind giving the 2 a go before I pull the trigger.

Haven't heard anything from OrphanEspresso recently, kind of wondering if this means they are in China overlooking production!
Doug is going to be a tough customer for them, you can most certainly count on that! I'd like to be a fly on the wallwhen they try to tell him, "its close enough, " when irs not!

I hope they're not in China! I'm waiting for my Pharos to come in . My last last email (11/7) said "Hold For Grinder Build." I'm in no rush, but would really like it before Dec 11th. If not I'll have to use the skerton during my trip 

Is spot 10 still open for the second Lido? I'm in if a spot is still open.

[sonnyhad]

Nope, saw a post on HB recently from Doug.
