A Note About the 2025 Tariff Situation

Last Updated: September 18, 2025

What’s Going On

  • Tariff volatility is growing. While recent headlines focus on autos & semiconductors, the fallout reaches all imported goods—including espresso machines & grinders.

  • A Supreme Court ruling on presidential tariff powers is pending. If it goes the “expanded tariff” route, Italian & European equipment could see sudden, sharp hikes—without warning.

  • Suppliers & distributors are already reacting. They’re adjusting orders, shoring up inventory, and absorbing costs where they can. When those costs hit downstream, retail prices go up fast.

Why It Matters Now

  • Every machine and grinder we carry is primarily imported from Italy. New or expanded tariffs will hit those hard.

  • Waiting could cost you hundreds of dollars. Buy now while prices are pre-tariff—before your dream model gets more expensive or disappears.

  • Stock is limited. Models may go out of stock. Delays are already happening, and some brands might pull back or adjust shipments soon.

What We’re Doing

  • Keeping a close eye on all tariff developments.

  • Adjusting sourcing & logistics wherever possible.

  • Absorbing added costs ourselves whenever we can, to buffer you—our customers—from the worst.

What You Should Do

If you’ve been eyeing a machine or grinder, order now. Lock in the current price. Don’t risk the jump. Don’t miss out.
