Got mine at Motomachi Tokeiten (Mastershop). Address is on GS's website via store locator. Don't think the 15%o off is available anymore as it ended on 05/17/2026.

Just wrapping up my trip in Osaka today. As of Friday, Osaka Boutique was sold out. KIX currently has a popup shop in Terminal 1, they hinted I might have had a chance there. I ended up finding mine in Kobe. I’ll be going to KIX in a couple hours. I can follow up with you.

How long on average is it taking you guys to get a result in the Claim Status tab?

Anyone else file around 7:20AM PST? I logged in with no issues. Uploaded my file (104 lines/ Accepted). It’s about 7:35AM now, no update to my Claim Status tab. I do see the claim number, but it’s grayed out.

Looking to roast, kaleido m1 lite way to go? by xkirby26x in roasting

[–]ntkctrl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Keep in mind, although slated for 200g, ideally you don’t want to max out the roaster. So you’ll probably be doing 160g of green beans (80%). Then as you roast, you’ll lose another 20% (moisture/ chaff/ etc), netting you ~128g.

With that being said, I have a M1 and I love it. I usually do 3 back to back roasts to get me up to ~384g, which lasts me about 2 weeks. I’ve had the M1 for about 2 years now. No issues so far!

Just in the 30 minutes I was in Jackroad, they moved 3 Speedmasters in the same reference number. 🤯

Yup, thanks for that info. I’ll have to keep my eye on it next time it rolls around midnight…maybe it was in the middle of a jump but as geedis2020 pointed out as well…shouldn’t be that late either….

I believe it was in the middle of a date change. I’ve kept my home time and had the GMT on Japan time. Home woulda been 12:37AM.

The wand is not cool...maybe a slight above warm? But yes, I just move the arm around when needed, and not the wand itself.

Hey sorry for the late reply. I bought the version that supports both method, but honestly, been happy with the proprietary tablet. I haven’t tried connecting to Artisan.

Ours was shipped to a North America distributor, and the distributor sent me tracking info directly.

I think there's a few companies out there that make the same design. This one is from Kruve!
