Cheap Cunill grinders ?

conikal

What is with the sudden rash of cheap ( as low as $150 ) new Cunill "El Tranquillo"  doserless grinders that have recently appeared on Ebay & Gumtree ?
I dont need one, but at $150 for a 60mm burr , timed, doserless, "brand",  grinder must be some kind of an opportunity for  entry level users wanting to step up from a Sunbeam etc.
Anybody contribute from personal use experience , ?..im sure  its not in the Mazzer league , but comments ??

Too many different people have them and not all are in the coffee trade etc even a bedding supplier... Too cheep to be believed without some detailed evidence.. OR a new model out and these have been sold at an Auction and now been off loaded..

?? what do you mean ? .. do you suspect they are defective or "seconds" ? These are well proven  models form a repected brand, and all brand new in box's . But yes, i agree..at some point there probably been a wholesale  clearance/auction  with several resellers now disposing of these through Ebay etc. But still bargains if you are looking for a decent mid range grinder. ! :thumb:

That is an extraordinary bargain.  No excuse for not owning a quality grinder for espresso there.  They'll also outlive their owners in a domestic setting I'd imagine.  I'm not a fan if them but they are already great value for money sub $400.  Good find mate!
