Congrats to the website, too, great design, and actually informative and a nice, modern experience without being gimmicky, really good!
I'll try to be helpful, so allow me to point out that near the bottom of the espresso machine, the grinder is called Oculo, guess you changed that mid-way? Also, do you consider it necessary to open new tabs when you go from the home page to the two sub-pages with your products? I mean you stay on the same domain so why open a new tab? I find that's unexpected.
Lastly, I didn't quite grasp how the cylindrical burr works and how one can adjust ground size with this arrangement. I'd really appreciate a schematic! Also I think you are totally allowed to right-out dis flat burrs because of their inherent weaknesses. As for oily roasts, that's my preferred roast, the coffee's so much better and also my hand grinder feels so much better, so it's a shame if I couldn't use a burr with those.
Hello there! Thank you so much for the comment and the good luck
So essentially the adjustment works the same as conical and flat burrs, except the burrs need to move way more for the same amount of adjustment (it’s about 19:1, instead of 1:1 for flat and conical). When the engineering problems are worked out with the grinder basically telescoping, this translates to much more repeatability in adjustments.
I definitely hear you on dark roasts, I like them as well, and I will absolutely make an alternate burr set that is more flexible - it’s just a matter of what to prioritize when launching a decently high priced grinder, where light and medium roasts benefit the most from the attention.
And argh yes oculo was a working name when the hopper looked more like an eye but now it looks less like an eye! Thanks for catching that. I’ll change the tab behavior, I wasn’t sure how to handle that.
Just ordered your grinder! I'm amazed you designed your own burr type! Looks super space saving, too, with the vertical straight up tilt of the grinder.
Huh, new account created just to say they bought the very expensive preorder of the account created 10 hours ago. I hope I’m wrong, but this is heavily triggering my scam-o-meter.
I'm a years long daily chatter on the espresso aficionado discord, hoon's discord and brian quan's discord. lol also this will be far be my cheapest grinder

Other than that, good luck with your project!
