Just a heads up for anyone who hasn't seen the news over on HB or elsewhere.
In a nutshell, the goal seems to be to build a small, consistent, coarse-grinding hand mill. Sounds great! OE's standards are high, and so are my expectations.
A pic of the prototype can be found here (far right).

Maybe so! Interesting. I was very close to pulling the trigger on a Porlex, an OE-PFP, or an old Peugeot hand mill when I first learned about this. Now, based on what I'm reading, I'll wait and become an early adopter of the Lido.
