Poor Michael at Compass Coffee going to get back in the office to cancel 25,000 orders of a Burr Coffee Grinder. Sweating profusely having to hear from 2,000 Karens who believe he should honor a price error even though it would put his small business bankrupt.
I'll devote my next cup of coffee to him for the hard work he is about to do on a simple website mistake.
These are the times that make me want to leave Slickdeals.
This code was obviously not supposed to get out. It was probably intended for a few people who were instructed to use it on an item or two as some sort of a gift, possibly as a charitable type thing.
A small business can't just front a loss like this, especially to a group who isn't going to want to pay full price for anything they have, much less for an extended period of time where they could actually (eventually) break even.
This isn't Target or Amazon. I would really encourage you to not get upset when your order is cancelled and instead to have some compassion for this owner who now has to spend hours and hours trying to remedy an honest mis-take while having people berating him via email and otherwise (as I see some of you are ALREADY ready to do).

I have an Oxo burr grinder that weighs out graham/cups but it's mehh. It clogs and is inconsistent, I just like that it grinds the right amount (or is supposed to) then stops grinding. I've always had my eyes on this one so I'm in for a cancellation.
Wow. In for one for a gift. It looks like this is the previous version of the Encore but that's not necessarily a bad thing, especially at this price. I can't find the list of changes on the new version but I think they are relatively minor. It's basically the same grinder as this older version.
Edit to add - Re cancellations. If this IS the previous version Encore, Baratza may be funneling their stock through assorted retailers to get rid of them at this reduced price.

I didn't realize they had a new and old one. What about this makes it look like the previous version?

If it ships, time to relegate my current grinder to spices
