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).
A good deal is a good deal. Hard to believe they'd cancel orders. Still seems like a lot of dough for a coffee grinder tbh.
These are pretty much set at $100-140. Baratza direct sells refurbs for $100+shipping. I don't believe they have ever been this low. These will be canceled, I am 99% sure. Not to mention, this is a pretty small company. Plus iirc, they literally just let go of 80% of their staff last year.
I grind my coffee at Costco where I buy the coffee beans, will having this grinder home make my experience special, not joking just looking for some honest feedback? TIA
I didn't realize they had a new and old one. What about this makes it look like the previous version?

The styling of the body and the timer with the four labels on it. Pull up the Encore at the Baratza site and you will see what I mean. They mention that it's the same grinder with a stylish new look. (paraphrasing)

Grinding before each brew makes for fresher coffee.
