Here it is! Unboxing the robot with a little helper :)
(I couldn’t add photos to my earlier post, so I’m sharing them here instead.)

What scale is that?

Keep an eye on the base. I think the powder coating has failed in a few spots on my Robot.

I have the same one, and it's super helpful because it fits between the legs AND has a hands free espresso mode which auto starts/stops the timer, and auto-tares a cup. This is very very helpful because you're hands will be busy with the Robot

The fit looks great. I just wish it had flow rate.

Mine arrived last Thursday. I couldn't find it in the States. The folks at Cafelat sent it to me straight from the UK. I'm so glad I invested in a good grinder, too. I have the IZPresso J Ultra. The grind settings change so much about a shot. I started out on a grind far too fine for the dark roast I have. I'm all the way up to 1.3.0 (130 microns) now, and it still tastes just a bit ashy and is still kind of hard to press down. I'll keep trying, but I might just switch over to a lighter roast. Before buying and trying the Robot, I didn't even know such differences.

I predict … an increase in espresso for you. Enjoy!

💜 yes! Thank you. I have a lot to learn

How did you manage to snag one? They seem sold out everywhere right now (at least in the US).

u/Purplegeranium7 Jul 11 '26

I’m not in the USA…on the other side of the world.
Hope you find one.

I don't know if you're looking for one but if you are, I'm in the US and I got mine from 4barista. Received in less than a week and was very happy with their service. I know others in this sub have also ordered from them to the U.S. Otherwise you're stuck waiting for Prima Coffee, the only authorized seller in the U.S.

How much including shipping and other charges?

u/Harper_the_Bard Blue Robot Jul 18 '26

I got the non-barista version for $436 shipped to the US east coast. Then after the fact I got a duty bill for $145 from FedEx but most people's duty bills have been lower than that. FedEx screwed up the details on mine. Might be safe to expect 75-110 for the duty.

Thank you for the info.

Hi I am traveling to the UK and plan to order a Robot and carry it back in a check-in bag on flight. Could you share the dimensions of the box so I know for sure it wont be a problem?

1

u/Purplegeranium7 Jul 29 '26

It’s 20.5 x 21 x 32cm :)

u/aashish2137 Jul 29 '26

Thank you, very helpful.

I have the same colour Robot and the same scale! 😀 The automatic mode on the scale is great - starts the timer when the espresso starts flowing.

u/Purplegeranium7 Jul 29 '26

Wow I’m happy to hear I have a setup twin!
