So, I know we have been here before, but a lot of the two roller mills look very similar and sell between the £78 to £98 range. This one

https://www.fruugo.co.uk/2022-newest-st ... krEALw_wcB

also looks very much like those but is only £46.20, but I've never seen that site before. Wondering whether just to give it a go, but then I'd need to buy some more grain and just opened a sack of crushed Marris Otter.

That looks identical to mine at near its half price.

Buy a set of feeler gauges to set it properly.

Just be very wary of unknown sites offering stuff at half price, ensure you use a method that you can get your money back through (e.g. PayPal) and that you won’t miss the money whilst going through that process.

Well, I ordered it yesterday afternoon. Just now received an email saying they have cancelled my order and will refund me, as they haven't got any stock...

That's not the first time I have heard that.

Amazon had a conical 7gal fermenter for £90 this week, as soon as it was ordered, it was cancelled and the listing went back up to £300.

Hmmm.

There is also a fault on this board that can double up some attachments.

Yes, I did check on companies house before I placed the order, didn't make good reading but I decided to take the risk anyway. I was half expecting this, if somethings too good to be true it probably isn't.
Just checked on the website, still says it's in stock and I can get 10% off because I've placed an order in the last month!!
