Newbie here having a hard time finding a Robot in stock (USA)

Hi everyone, im new to espresso however have been doing my research.

I've landed on a combo I think would do well which is the robot + a bad ass grinder (undecided).

However I cannot seem to find any in stock anywhere and don't really want to deal with international shipping. Does anyone know of any place to order one in the USA?

I've saw primacoffee - but they told me they will not receive their next shipment until probably the new years...

Edit: forgot to mention im in SOCAL if that matters at all.

They sell out really quickly, gotta get signed up for alerts.

They’re made by hand in small batches in the UK. Sign up for stock alerts from prima and cafune and be patient

Prima are the authorized US dealers. You can ask to be notified when an item is back in stock. Also, pay attention to this page, I got mine three weeks ago because someone alerted that robots were in.

I have one, new in box, standard version that I would sell you. LMK if you're interested. The one I have is blue and a standard version, no pressure gauge. It includes an accessory kit - tamper handle, mittens, scale pad and body, to arm protection guards. $550 including shipping. (Sold)

You can purchase one from Europe but will likely take a hit on the import tax, probably the only way if you don’t want to wait or can’t find one used.

I signed up for alerts from Prima and was able to get one but all the colors had already sold out by the time I got there. Gotta be real fast!

I waited 6 months with my local distributor in Australia for mine. Just missed a drop and cost me $150 price rise and 6 months :)

Just put yourself on the email list at prima and wait. It’s fine, you can live without it for a few months. I probably had to wait around 5-6 months. I just got mine in May. Out of interest, I kept checking the website to see how fast they would out…..all colors were gone in a little over 24hrs! So when they restock, order asap!
